for what you're getting there its not a bad deal... its literally a straight bolt on - although you'd still need to have it tuned up afterwards, and the ad states theres no choke included... my zuk wont even start on a moderately cold morning if i dont use the choke!

they make for very good paper weights. get a vit carby and tune it well and it will leave a weber for dead, both in performance and reliabilaty.

I have one, love it, better power, better economy, in the dark of winter hit the throttle 2 or 3 times, starts first go, needs a few pumps to make her run an settle down, other than that, never had a drama.

If you do offroading, its a bit of a prob as at big angles, she floods, when that happens and yr in a compromising angle, it aint that much fun, thats about it.

As gwagon likes to say.... x eleventy. You also forgot to mention Joe a Vit carb will keep it legal cause you can hook the pollution gear back up. A weber won't.

I much prefer my mikuni over the weber i used to have! Doesn't mind angles and it runs good without having to tune it or change any jets. I got mine for free of an old Sigma and i think mitsubishi colts have the same carby. Same as a vitara carby too i think? Just probably easier to find a mitsubishi than a carby vit
