just get the real deal	Saturday, May 27, 2023

seriously, everyclone sucks, except for phbg clones,, they're usually alright. But seriously! these are awesome! SHA is truly the best moped carb, simple, cheap, easy. don't forget the correct shim and the correct o ring!! do it right. Oh!! Cable choke can be a pain sometimes, but its a dream when you do. just pull ur lil lever to get some choke action on the fly. sometimes when I'm feeling bad for my bike after a long hill or some long blasting i'll blip my choke a few times to give my engine that lil cool refreshing taste of gas and the fullfilling long lasting protection of oil as a little treat for being such a good moped!!

Plug and Play	Thursday, April 28, 2022
taco eater : JOHN from Brownville, ME United States

After using some starter fluid after installing the new carb. my Batavus 1978 Regency runs like a champ. I paired it up with the MLM batavus & trac M56 dellorto 15mm SHA intake. ( key note you will need either spacers for the bolts ore shorter bolts all together to mount he intake). But honestly runs so damn good didn't even need the choke to start it quarter kick she fires right up so removed the choke all together on my bike. Very pleased with my purchase.

This is Yuge.	Tuesday, February 4, 2020

I mean, 15 is bigger than stock 12 on Derbi Flatreed, right? The ID on the mount is bigger than stock, keep that in mind. fits nice on teh MLM flatreed intake out the box.

Most definitly comes with a 68 main jet, NOT 70

don't do clone!	Monday, June 10, 2019
taco eater : brandon from oakland, CA United States

ran an arbeo 15.15 'clone' for a long time, just dealt with intermittent stalling at stop lights and bogging down when cruising fast. bolted this on (did not touch throttle/choke cables/jet/intake) and all my woes have left me. running kitted mbk av7.

Amazeballs!!	Friday, May 17, 2019
taco eater : Dan P from Minnesota, United States

I have an '83 Trac Eagle with a Laura M56 which, admittingly, doesn't have a ton of aftermarket options. However, MLM makes an intake (or you could fab your own) that allows you to drop this carb on it, replacing the temperamental (to put it nicely) Encarwi H12 that comes on these.

Wow, what an amazing upgrade. This thing really makes an M56 zip. If you're working on a ped with an M56 (Trac or Batavus), I *highly* recommend rolling this setup. Thing fires up in a half a kick now. Bump start on flats, just all around go. After a couple plug chops, the stock jet seems to be exactly what this motor wants as well. I plan to put a pipe on this at some point, which is definitely going to require upjetting, but until then imma rip.

Here's the intake I'm referring to: https://www.treatland.tv/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=mlm-intake-batavus-trac-980

Sure it costs a couple bucks, but the reliability is so worth it over that tired Encarwi.

I've come to love these carbs. One "note" though, the 2 I've bought came with a 68 jet (not the 70 the ad copy says.

Got 2 - 1978 Motobecane 7 and 1980 Sachs Suburban	Saturday, October 11, 2014
taco eater : Dan K from Chicago, IL United States

Fits on the Motobecane 7 with the shim that comes with the carb. With removed air filter, 70cc Parma, stock exhaust, main jet should be in the 68 to 72 range.

Dremel'd stock Sachs 505/1D intake to match port when flipped forward. The shim is too tight. A 0.5mm shim would probably work if it exists. I just cut a strip of aluminum from a pop (soda, cola) can. 2 wraps seems to do it. No air filter, Giannelli pipe, #65 main jet seems to be about right.

These jets: https://www.treatland.tv/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=dellorto-jet-range-50-72

and these jets: https://www.treatland.tv/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=dellorto-jet-range-75-97

should cover pretty much anything you wanna do with this carb. Just sell or give away (what I did) the jets you won't need for good karma or whatever.

Here it is on the Sachs: http://sachssuburban.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/upgrading-to-a-dellorto-15mm-carburetor/

Here it is on the Motobecane: http://motobecane7.wordpress.com/

What Jimbo said, but be sure to understand that SHA carbs have very specific limitations. Single jet slide carb with an idle screw to adjust the closed height of the slide.

This is good for a bolt on, run it and forget it set up, but ultimately not very tunable.
