February 13, 201511 yr Got a 200 minarelli and cant get the carburation right and am toying with spending the money and getting a flatside oko for it .just wondered if it is a worthwhile upgrade or not
February 13, 201511 yr I`ve had recent experience of oko carbs on a ty175 - total piece of s... ! sorry but it was rubbish,i sent it back for refund
February 13, 201511 yr I had issues with a 200 a while ago, firstly how old is your cdi? I changed both coils (there is an upgrade) and then fitted an OKO , it was a worthwhile upgrade, started and ran like a watch and performed well.
February 13, 201511 yr They just need to be set up properly , by someone with the knowledge to do so ... Glenn
February 13, 201511 yr Personally a new dellorto carb would be a better purchase, may get away with new slide and jets but the body will be worn also. And as mentioned above electrics need to be spot on
February 14, 201511 yr My 200 was awful almost unrideable with the stock Dellorto and put a OKO on and transformed the bike. I was very impressed~!
February 14, 201511 yr After restoring my Fantic it initially ran fine but quickly developed a carb fault. I changed a couple of jets but concluded that I needed a new carb. I figured that as vitually the same type of delloro carb was fitted to recent gas gas bikes then there could not be a lot wrong with the actual carb just the fact that the one on the bike was 35 years old. I fitted a new dellorto which was jetted and had the correct slide for the Fantic. It run great straight away and still going strong 2 years later. I've no experience of the OKO but I would suggest it is a replacement rather than an upgrade nothing wrong with the dellorto unless it is worn. Note Dellortos can be bought cheap on E bay but the standard jets and slide are not suitable for the 200. i know dellorto uk and inmotion will supply correctly set up carbs but cost a little more.
February 14, 201511 yr Personally I'd buy another stock Dellorto. I did the same with both my 240's, the old carbs were simply worn out and the inlet rubbers hard. I think there are two issues here that often get mixed up. Does the bike run okay on it's original set up or does it need improving? I'm happy with the stock Dellorto but if you think that it is in some way inadequate then go with the OKO.
February 14, 201511 yr Author Cheers guys the engines been all rebuilt including all new ignition and I tried a brand new dellarotto from a friends bike and it did perk it up a bit but it still wasnt how it should be .think ill bite the bullet and try a oko.ill let you know how I get on
February 14, 201511 yr I`ve had recent experience of oko carbs on a ty175 - total piece of s... ! sorry but it was rubbish,i sent it back for refund I had a go at getting a Oko carb dialled in for my Whitehawk 200 after 2 new carbs and countless hours no joy . Fitted a flat slide dellorto and one hour later Its perfect. A little expensive but so are Two Oko carbs and jet sets !!
