Tao Rhino 250 carb confusion

GB69 · 11-19-2022, 04:46 PM

I have read several threads on carbs and am more confused then ever. There is Mikuni, Nibbi, and on and on. I don't have a hundred dollars to throw at a carb and then add even more money to modify it. I read where some have purchased carbs and ordered Jets that don't work. Jets made for old style carbs that don't work in new style.
Here is the thing, I have a 2022 Tao Rhino 250, I replaced the stock sprockets and Cain with the 11 x 37t set. I now want to replace the carb with the best size for my machine and get the correct Jets the first time.
Please stear me to what I need.
Thank you very much.

I used this carb Mikuni Clone.... took the choke connector off the stock and placed on this one......

Using jets: 30 pilot, 115 main, 4th notch down on needle

GENUINE Mikuni pilot jet size 30 (VM28/486)

GENUINE Mikuni main jet size 115 (N100.604)

It's been some time since I purchased this. Get the carb... take the jet out and compare to the site.... if it looks the same then order up.

I have the stock carb on mine but upped the main jet size a little when I went to a pod filter. Over 2000 hours on it that way and it runs great. Spark plug color is just right.

Thank you both for the great information. I have ordered the carb. and it will be here today. I am still breaking this thing in. It o ly has, mYbe two hours on it.
Problem that I am having now is that I had the transmission lock up in 3 or 4 yesterday and it took forever to get it unlocked. Hope this is not a sign of bad things to come. Any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Change the oil. The oil that came with it is mostly just for shipping. Clean the screen when changing the oil also.
