Well after my months of fighting with my OKO 30mm, I decided to pack up shop with it and slap my old trusty Mikini 26 stock carb back on, 330 main. 35 pilot banshee superstock needle mid clip. started right up and feels good, havent ridden yet as i have no brakes at the moment!

Looking forward to reliable riding again. albeit at the sacrifice of a few horses.

If you are currently considering the OKO...DONT!
 
Blaner, your advice usually comes with a lot of thought and testing, tell us more!

My son just tried one of my 38mm PKW carbs on his Blaster.
We've got it moving along pretty good, but of course, we always want more!
Well, you cannot but look at this bad boy and think it HAS to do something.

Now there is a bit of foreground perspective enlargement going on there,
but this PKW (I think this one above is a 39mm non-air-styker) is pretty impressive, if size counts...

This is above a 38 air-stryker I believe. I believe this picture is of the carb opening on my KTM250SX motor with the stock Blaster thumb throttle.
Anyway, hard to resist guys. Big monster carbs, gotta make more power, right?
I caught Triplecrown putting that blue bad boy on his Blaster, in MY garage!
"What have I taught you boy?"

"Listen, don't give me no $#;[ old man, this has gotta do something"

So he used up some of our precious R&D time to learn something first hand. Never a bad idea.
(just make sure you are honest with your results and always have a return plan if it doesn't work)

The 26mm carb is back on the Blaster. 26mm is all you need until you get this thing well over 10,000 rpm and give up on mid-range power.
The DT200 is making 30hp at 9000 on this same carb, and not strangled out at top revs.
The carb is not the bottleneck, you gotta get the engine drawing more before you need to go bigger carb.
 
True Best, bigger is not always better (often, but not in the case of carbs)

I was very happy with the performance of the OKO when I got something out of it, it was a snorter but the jetting side of things was a nightmare, I believe its down to poor casting of the carb, it is quite poor.

It would seem overly rich at the bottom, super lean in the middle then too rich again at the top, when you try iron out the lean spot, it would simply move to either the high rpm or low rpm.
