sweet, another barney bike

just curious, what is the dealy with the intake boot?
it looks like someone replaced the stock rubber unit with a aluminum one?

you might want to unbolt that and check to see if the reeds somehow mount to it, because I don't see a reedcage anywhere :whistle:

That's a Boysen Rad Valve and the connecting boot.

DYW, how are the thinks with your 220? Did you feel any difference compared to the 200? :supz:

I just rode her today around the yard, if feels good on the low end but does not want to pop wheelies like the 200 and it fall flat on top fast
im still not done rebuilding her properly (pilot feels good but haven't fully jetted her yet) and I think there is still an oil leak that needs to be addressed (just replaced the countershaft seal, o rings and collar)n

on top of that, the 220 is stock and both my 200s have aftermarket exhausts on them so that might not make for a fair comparison either, but so far, I prefer the 200

Wow that's not bad for a jy find. Cool deal hope you get it all sorted out. Hope you solve the water pump issue.
If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.
