I just bought a 200x carb for my 200S the problem I see with making it work being the top cap is bigger,is the top cap that came with the 200X carb looks like it has slip fitting for the throttle cable where my 200S has a screw in fitting. Anyone have any suggestions. Also I noticed the X carb has a long jet where all jets I have are the short kind are they interchangeable to anyones knowledge. Also should I run the 105 jet I am using or will I need to experiment with jet sizes as per the carb

 

Hey. Your throttle cable should work with the X stationary fitting just fine. Always has for me.

The jets are interchangable if you use the main nozzle for the type of jet you are using. One type has a long nozzle and a jet you install with a scew driver and the other has a short nozzle with a jet that you install with a wrench. the engine will run even if you don't run the proper jet and nozzle combination, but running a short nozzle with the screw type jet will sometimes cause sputtering when riding over rough terrain and jumping due to fuel slosh in the bowl.

It's better to jet rich and work your way down if needed always. With these older engines and well used carbs, there is not a steady base line to start from on any of them that I have ran across. Most of the regular 200 engines came with 105 but woth the larger X carb, I would suggest you start in the 110-115 range and work down if needed. If you do not have those jets handy ofcourse, a test with the 105 wouldn't cause a castrophe'.

 

Knows the main jet holder looks the same between the 2 diffrent ones. To use my throttle cable do I just get rid the screw fitting and put the rounded cable end in the top cap. Thanks for coming to the rescue Knows.

 

Knows when I rebuild this carb do I set the carb to 200X specs or 200S specs. Like needlejet clip position or initial pilot screw opening turns. The only reason I checked the main jet holder is the last guy that has his hands on this carb tightened it down to tight and bent it. So i compared it to another screw jet onbe and they looked the same. Who knows.

 

Knows one more question. When you install the new need jet do you install the end with the big opening toward the needle jet holder or towards the needle jet. The carb I rebuilt had the old one towards the needle jet but I am looking at my book at it looks the other way around. Just wondering if that is why I have a problem with it runnin rich. Thanks for all the help again. We ever meet I owe you a couple of cold ones.

 

Anyone have any ideas. New carb kit is on its way. Hopefully be here early next week.
