no it is not the same carb, it look's to me that this carb has a smaller ID, and it does have a different choke setup~ that I am very unhappy with, there is no way I can choke it and flip the prop at the same time, I really loved the original choke setup,,,

sending my motor all the way back to Check republic is unacceptable !!

thanks for the link !! but if MVVS does send's me a new carb wont it have to come all the way from Check republic ??
