I put the little circlip on the needle (third ring down) and placed it in the valve, but I can seem to get that valve needle holder clip to go in there? do I need to get some needle nose and squeeze it in there?

Just dont want to mess it up, thanks,

Monk

 

ok I got the clip that secures the throttle needle in there, but the needle is a bit wobbly, is this normal? I guess all that clip does is keep the need from backing out.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Monk

 

Looks like you got it
The needle can move side to side but the clip and holder keep from moving away from slide
Thanks

Cool deal,

Thanks again,

p.s

Do you have a 200s,x,r or m SMFREY? I was just curious because I wanted to know if you've ever "tweaked" the carburetor (the pilot screw and the throttle screw) and was wondering if you have the specs on that. I have the manual, but it's specified settings are not quite it.

 

I currently have
2- 82 Honda 110s both built fairly healthy and regeared
1- 82 Honda 185S stock but header and Super Trap had to jet Has 200S carb
I can look at what I did on that at home tonight (Notes)
I do make notes on all Mods to my bikes
1- 83 Honda 200X I think it is stock
1- 86 Honda 200X it is healthy fast but no 2nd gear will fix when 83 200x gone
1- 03 Honda 400EX both regeared exhaust opened with larger spark arrestor and revchip

I have found the older bikes almost always need rejet

On the 110s we have to drill jets
Thanks

yea I cleaned the carb up, sprayed the body openings out with carb cleaner, then blew them out with compressed air and changed out all the jets etc...

just wanted to get the specs on throttle screw and the pilot screw setting to get almost optimal mixture and idle [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
