Chinese Carb Kits

[Moto Vita]

When working on a Chinese carb (Zama) is there any point in buying a name brand OEM Chinese kit over an aftermarket Chinese kit?
I don't buy Chinese carb kits for non Chinese carbs.

I buy OEM, regardless of the location of manufacture. It's not where it's made, but how well it's made.

difference in price is minimal so i stick to OEM kits whether it be zama, walbro, or tillotson and again with cost difference being minimal i also stick to using full kits vs the G&D kits. A G&D chinese kit of unknown quality is at best a $3-4 kit compared to a genuine OEM full kit at $8-11. Everything in life is risk vs reward and i dont see this as one of them risks worth taking considering even on the high end your "reward" is $6.

I have tried both, and prefer the OEM kits.

I would just buy another cheap carb before buying the am kit...
