After restoring my Fantic it initially ran fine but quickly developed a carb fault. I changed a couple of jets but concluded that I needed a new carb.

I figured that as vitually the same type of delloro carb was fitted to recent gas gas bikes then there could not be a lot wrong with the actual carb just the fact that the one on the bike was 35 years old.

I fitted a new dellorto which was jetted and had the correct slide for the Fantic. It run great straight away and still going strong 2 years later.

I've no experience of the OKO but I would suggest it is a replacement rather than an upgrade nothing wrong with the dellorto unless it is worn.

Note Dellortos can be bought cheap on E bay but the standard jets and slide are not suitable for the 200. i know dellorto uk and inmotion will supply correctly set up carbs but cost a little more.

Personally I'd buy another stock Dellorto. I did the same with both my 240's, the old carbs were simply worn out and the inlet rubbers hard. I think there are two issues here that often get mixed up. Does the bike run okay on it's original set up or does it need improving? I'm happy with the stock Dellorto but if you think that it is in some way inadequate then go with the OKO.

I had a go at getting a Oko carb dialled in for my Whitehawk 200 after 2 new carbs and countless hours no joy . Fitted a flat slide dellorto and one hour later Its perfect. A little expensive but so are Two Oko carbs and jet sets !!
