Installed 'SHA 15mm RUNTONG clone carburetor - lever choke' on my 1996 Tomas Sprint A35, with 15mm intake and 'tomos A35 hunter black exhaust pipe'. Had to use old Dellorto 14:12 throttle cable pipe and install on the clone carb for proper cable fitment and change jet size to 56 due to 4-stroking at wide open throttle. Ped pulls nicely from start and keeps climbing up to 42 MPH. MPG decreased from 138mpg down to about 112mpg.

Better than youd expect

I have one of these and it works well I had no issues with it other than if you use the provided top and 90 degree for throttle you can fit the side covers on right on a a35 it runs and idles fine you shouldn't use the slide from your 14/12 as it is not wide enough but every other part will work fine other than the choke as its mounted different on the cheap on. Get the Dakar and get something that's better its what I'm going to do why cheap out on a carb like I did and not be satisfied....

Problems after a month

I had to file down the elbow inlet. I 3d printed an intake to put this on an 81 Express. It worked great for the first month and then wouldn't idle. It would rev too high... like it was sucking air from somewhere. I Plasti-dipped the intake, but that wasn't it. Carb still wouldn't function correctly. Scrapped it and bought an MLM intake and Mikuni. Runs like a champ now.

Attack of the Clones

Awesome carb, regardless of the price. Works all the same as a regular SHA, used it on my urban express. Only con is that the idle is a bit rich so you'll have to tune your idle with a different slide - you'll run the same risk if you use the genuine one. Ran it with a stocko shocko cylinder but decided it was slightly too small for it, so I'm going to upgrade to a PHBG clone. I can definitely say I'd be much more reluctant to do so if it were a "real" SHA.

Great bang for the buck

Bought one of these and finally installed it on a V1. Stock cylinder, exhaust opened to 24MM, Techno Circuit pipe and 64 jet. Runs great, GPS says 36MPH. Idles perfect. Had to shim to fit the intake and added an O ring to seal. If you don't mind fiddling a bit, this is a GREAT less than $20 carb. Might drill the old 14/12 and get the same result. If you can't drill, buy this!
