Well, looks like the carb on my old Sears puddle jumper is finally plain worn out. I've had pretty good luck with aftermarket carburetors, but I'm not finding any replacement #s for mine. The engine is an HS40 55515G, carb part # is 631667. I've got plenty of mower/snowblower carbs laying around, but obviously I need one set up for a minibike, right? Throttle response? Jetting? I'm assuming that's why I can't use one of those. Anyways, can anyone recommend a good aftermarket carb # for me? Thanks in advance!

You get get a re-pop on ebay for $15 or less free shipping. I've heard a few complaints on them but I bought (2) for myself to try and so far both have worked perfect.

Will any HS40 carb work? Like I say, I've got snowblower carbs laying around, but I've been told that they won't run as well - poor throttle response, etc. That's why I was curious about finding mini/go kart specific carb #s. But if I can get away with any HS40 carb, and have it still perform well (it's not a racing bike, by any means, but don't want it to be a dog), then I'll try one of the ones I have laying around, or buy a 15 buck cheapie from Ebay. Thanks!

Well, just bought one on Amazon - 15 buck from a seller with a good reputation. I'll know in a few days! Thanks for the advice, guys.
