That's a great point. My 224 looks like a Hisun 196 with the Hisun blower housing, rocker cover, and Coleman tank. If I were a scumbag I could put the never used 224 blower housing and tank on one of my 196's and sell it as a 224 to a naive person.
My 224 also has the 371412146 number. But the bottom number on mine starts with 210.
I thought about boring one, but after some research, I bought a .670. I put it on the basically stock 224 at the time, jus a head gasket change to 9.3:1 cr, 26* timing, pvl flywheel, and header. I couldn't not believe how much more snappy the throttle was, instant acceleration, and that was with gov set at 4500. It made such a difference I went from a 5.55 gear to a 5 gear. Only a .035 jet for the basically stock engine. Its not stock any more and runs a .038 jet and 29* timing. My son has a .615, ducar 212, and my friend has a .640, pred 224. They all have different size air bleeds, but all have .022 low speed jets. I'm not sure about the e tube differences. The suppliers said they would not run with stock air boxes, but we do every day. My friends still running his stock 224 muffler. The idle is loppy and rich, but we have not fouled a plug, loaded cylinder with gas, or blow black smoke, and super ez to start. Imo, the bored stock style carbs are the best single improvement or upgrade you can do with these clone engines, stock or modified.
