Help Apollo 250 26-db deluxe carb Upgrade
I recently bought one and the first thing i would like to do is well upgrade the carb I don't know jack about bikes so i figured getting this bike would be a good starting point. I cant find anything around google I see videos of people who bought the a new carb but they never link or make a follow up video to see if it fit/work. Could anyone help by suggesting what carb to buy that would fit or if so do I need to buy a manifold for it. Much appreciated.

Hi, I assume you bought a DB-36, not a 26?
Orion offers a 28mm Nibbi upgrade for the Orion RXB which has the same motor as a DB-36. Around here, the most often recommended carb for these motors is a Mikuni VM26 Clone, which is actually 30mm (confusing part number, I know). However, I've been reading recommendations elsewhere that a 28mm carb actually works better on your motor.

The VM26 is ONLY an upgrade in terms of jet availability/tunability, but otherwise offers no performance benefit over the stock PZ30 carburetor. If you are wanting the best overall performance then a PE30 (30mm smooth bore) is really the route to go, BUT it is also a much more finicky/sensitive carburetor when it comes to jetting, and in my opinion is not a good place to start for a carb noob. The throttle response and power is very noticeable, but it is close to bordering on being too large without supporting mods, hence why I don't consider it a good carb for the inexperienced. I agree with Baskt_Case on the PE28 upgrade. I think it offers the best balance for somebody in your position. Orion likely has good jetting suggestions for it as well. I would highly suggest taking the time to learn about carburetors and carb tuning before diving too far down the rabit hole with upgrades.
