Hi just wondering if anyone had used one of these hitachi carbs from China?
http://cnabrand.en.alibaba.com/product/274976661-209687935/Carburetor_for_NISSAN_A12_OEM_16010_H1602_.html

just wondering what the quality was like?
Cheers,
Tom

1. It is for Left-Hand drive
2. Minimum order is 100 units

I had NO idea there were left and right hand drive carbies?! wouldn't you just use a longer choke/accelerator cable?

doesn't matter re the minimum order.. I'm able to get samples sent out for quality purposes from vendors like these for work!

It looks just like this carb that came off an aussie car!

The carb top is reversed for LHD and RHD, the cable would need to be about 2' longer to loop all the way to the left side of the car, then back to the carb. Whereas the LHD cable goes from the left straight to the carb.

but the carb in the photo below looks just like the carb below which was taken off a RHD car.. the top looks the same..

and there;'s no way you can rotate the top around?

I may be wrong about the length of cable needed. Here are photos:

Both are Hitachi DCG306

From JDM engine



From USA engine

The rusty carburetor matches the diagram for early B210.

The China carburetor is listed as 16010-H1602, which is USA part number
JDM carburetor is 16010-H1000.
But the china photo matches the JDM diagram more closely than the USA diagram, except that it has a plug where the Anti-Diesel valve goes (which is only on 1973-up carburetors).

so there'd be nothing stopping me using a usa carb?

So I'm not sure.

I got "16010-H1602" for Japan market from China company.
And will upload a comparison picture with 16010-H1000(for B110).
The follows are main jets dimensions.
*Because I did by the pinvice measurement, Those are approximate value.
16010-H1602: DCG306-5: jets,
Bore: 26/30.
Venturis: 20/26.
Main jet: 95/150.(approximate value)
Main air: 80/80.
Slow jet: 45/50.(approximate value)
Slow air: 210/100.
Power jet: unknown.

Each jets do not have #carved character.
