I went through two Chineeeee carbs as well on my rancher, found an OEM in the box on Ebay - but that may of been a lucky find.

Current one is randomly leaking gas into the air box.
Ride it, leave it sit for a couple hours and there is usually a small puddle underneath it and gas in the air box.

Random stalling with the first.

I needed one for old Honda 300. Found a NIB one on eBay. That would be the first place I would check.

I’m going to check eBay.

Do dealers carry anything that old?

Not the honda shop around here. Course those guys suck more than a subaru owner..

Believe this is where I grabbed my OEM Carb for my 04 Rancher.

** Note** this was a quick Google search, verify the part # before purchasing. *** They have dozens of OEM Honda carbs for different makes & models.

I was told not to buy Chinese, but to rebuild. They quoted 2 HRs.

I may give them a call.

The link above is the one I came up with for mine.
I like yours better.

Hopefully the OEM Rancher carbs are still in production and not old stock that have been sitting in a warehouse for 10 years. I bought a new OEM (old stock) carb and fuel pump for my 2006 Yamaha Rhino a few years ago. Both were completely dried out from sitting on the shelf. I could have rebuilt the carb w new gaskets but the fuel pump wasn't serviceable. The OEM Rhino carbs have no screw heads on the screws holding the bowl on. I didn't feel like drilling and modifying a $350 factory carb so I returned them both and bought Chinese replacements from Amazon for 1/10th the cost. The fuel pump lasted a season before it began to fail which was about as long as the factory pumps last here in AZ. The Rhino pumps are vac driven and have a very small thin rubber membrane that dries out. At $13 each I just bought a new one each year. The carb was still operating great when I sold the machine earlier this year.

We buy lots of Chingaling carbs off eBay for Hondas. Maybe a bad one here and there but no pattern. No corn squeezin's in our gas though.

This gives me issues on a lot of things.

They’re a few places that sell gas without, but they’re far between and not real convenient

It's really easy to separate ethanol from gas in small amounts for your chainsaws etc.
