Help with 200 carb on a 220
Posted: 08:35 pm Jan 22 2016
After going through a nightmare with the 220 carb that came on the bike (ran super rich, ran best with 125 main and the needle on the 1st clip!) I tried by buddies carb on my bike and she ran beautifully. Changed the jet assembly gasket and anything else we could think of but same results. Sooooooo, I am ditching it and I picked up a 200 carb.
In the reading I have done it seems the 42 pilot 150 main will be a pretty good starting point for my bike, boyson reeds, fmf pipe, open airbox. Maybe need to size up the main jet a little.
But the thing I am a bit in the dark about is the slide, needle and spring. I have seen some mention of using the 220 slide, needle and spring in the 200 carb. The spring in the 200 seems very short compared to the 220, maybe it has been shortened?
So what should I try first? The most definitive opinion I have found so far is this:
..in the end i settled for the 200s R1174K needle with the clip in the 3rd from top notch & a 40 pilot jet, 152 main jet & 5* slide in the 35mm carb
Any input appreciated!
