Upload it on photobucket and link to it using the Img box above ^.

As a temporary measure for this one email it to capitano AT bikerider.com and I'll stick it up here.

Some light reading for the future:-

Thanks Capitano!

Mine is on the left - Chinese crap, hence the replacement! Unfortunately it was fitted by the previous owner..

No worries.

Incidentally, my 12v C90 runs marvellously with a Chinese carb. 8-)

That's good news!
I will keep it for spares but just don't trust them.
It must be a cheap cheap one as it's all over the place when it runs, shame!

Just to clarify then, is that your carb to the right??

This is my carb.

It was fitted when I bought the bike.

I've only ever seen one other Runtone for sale on ebay. It was £11 with free postage. :lol:

EDIT: 21/09/2021: Further research revealed that my carb was a Runtong, not Runtone, and ws around £50 from WeMOTO. The aftermarket carbs for the 12V C90 from WeMOTO have proved to be a good fitment for several Cub folks.

Oh ok! Well that's worth the money even for spares I suppose.

And I think there's a 'review' thread on here to do with those carbs by Diesel Dave?
Or atleast something similar!

I have no intention of changing mine whatsoever. 150 mpg and runs nicely. 8-)

Well maybe I will have to look for one, should I be unsuccessful in finding an original!?
