Carburator from AliExpress: to buy or not to buy

[FZJ80 carb]

I was surprised to find the carburator for my 1FZ-F GCC on AliExpress. It will save me about 80% in costs. Has anyone ever bought a carbutator from AliExpress? Will it work properly and safely?

Look what I found on AliExpress

I've used Chinese knockoff carburetors on lots of things, nothing wrong with them aside from the loss of dignity associated with buying one.

I have used Chinese and other non-OEM parts of vehicles for a long time. Some are at least as good as OEM, others sucked. Just because something isn't OEM or Chinese isn't what determines if it is a quality piece. The difficult part is figuring out what is good and what sucks, which is why op created this thread.

Is new OEM even available?

 

[OGBeno]

Yes.

Would OP like to figure out the quality of the carburetor at middle of nowhere or side of busy highway?

I’ve used Chinese knockoff parts before with less than stellar results, always had to replace rather soon and I don’t drive the 80 much. And these are simple and non critical parts, to each their own.

Why replace the carburetor when you can replace the whole thing?

Much more better!

That's a terrible idea and also I want it
