Uhmmmmmmm
That is clearly a knock off of a Keihin PWK Striker... like not even close... it even includes Keihin jets
Do you think anyone else is gonna notice? When you're buying junk off Amazon, does it REALLY matter?

The issue with parts like this is quality, the gasket will not be chemically resistant and will get eaten away.
They sometimes will use non-standard dimensions for the bowl gasket etcs, so using genuine parts will not be possible.
Who knows how good the diaphragms, needles, needle seats etc are !
Sometimes the castings are exact, and if you have issues...you can re-fit with OEM parts.

Used a few Ali/Amazon carbs on old little bikes... never had a problem. My old honda gennie needed a complete carb overhaul, $40 for a Honda kit. Clone carb off Amazing cost $13 and its been fine for 3 years. Same for a 6.5hp tecumseh mower and a Poulin cheapie chainsaw. I have PWK clone on my Triumph 240 and TC125 - working fine.
Not sure I'd bother on a bigger bike, or racer ,-- rebuilding those would make me more comfortable.
Y'all are missing what I'm trying to say here....
Let's start with: It is an ad for a Mikuni TX38 carb.
Mikuni doesn't make a TX38 carb. Mikuni makes a TM or TMX38. It looks like this.
The carb in the Aliexpress ad looks a LOT like Keihin Striker, that looks like this
... so my point is, there is no REAL thing. Someone set up a production line, at great expense, to crank out knock offs of Keihin carbs... that have Mikuni embossed, quite boldly, on the casting.
Please notice the links I provided are from Sudco, the North American distributor for Keihin and Mikuni. when you google TMX38 all you get is knock off stuff.
Is there REALLY that much money in replacement powersport carbs. There's ZILLIONS of em.
I am working on a goofy little 90cc 2T ATX. It has a Mikuni JET100 carb, a known POS (because of the choke) and I have been looking at little carbs. Google's algorithm found a knock off JET100 for $9.66. I bought a Delorto, a REAL Delorto, for $120... it's not my money.
