Hello stingguy.
Either a regular Mik or a Power Jet model will work just fine. Both obj1 and I like our Power Jets. He races his and I ditch/trail ride mine. Others like and trust the regular ones. Power Jet give you better gas mileage, while a regular one is simpler to understand and work with. Can't go wrong with either.
Both 36mm and 38mm work well on our 440s...mine is a 36. A smaller carb generally gives better startup and lower rpm torque, while bigger = more top end hp.
As far as cleaning yours...it'll need more than just some spray!

Yeah, for some reason, they just don't seem to quite appreciate the smell of 2 stoke oil and gas the way that we do!
