What will happen if I get 200x jets from the carb and put them on my 200s
Thanks

 

Worst case scenario?? You will foul sparkplugs and you will have disctinct miss or bobble on the topend

The 185 and 200/S/E/M engines are jetted lean from the factory. 2 bumps at minimum do wonders for these engines in stock trim. More than that willd depend on alot of things like exhaust and how well in tune the engine is disregarding the carburetor.
200S models [if yours has the stock jet, should be between 98 to 100]

If your S is stock, right down to the exhaust, a 200X jet [108-110] may be just a bit too much. You will not know until you have tried it.

Going down jet sizes is when critical attention to your engine is required, but when playing with going bigger, just have a few extra sparkplugs on hand till you get it just right.

 

it is completely stock down to the exhast. If I put 108 in it will mess up any thing, or will add more pep to it. If does any thing tell me so I will be aware. And so I don't through a fit when something happens. And the carb is about 6 months old by the way.

 

Like I said before, the worst thing that could happen is that the 108 or 110 would make for a rich mixture and you would foul a sparkplug. If something else happens, it's not with the chinging of the mainjet.

You say the carburetor is only 6 months old?? Those carbs for the 200S persay, have been discontinued. What we do is sell carbs for the '84 TRX200, which is stilll available but requires choke operation modifications to the cable connection. All of the carbs that you get now new have had alterations [or updates] done to them over the years, so who knows what jetting you have.

You may want to see what jet you are running now before going any further. You may already have the perfect combination and just not know it. If you are running anything 100 or lower, you can jet up. If you are already past the 100 size, I would reccommend you stay put on the jetting until you start modifying.

 

how can you tell what your jetting. I got the carb from this web site www.dratv.com for $75

 

$75??

Sounds like a used carb to me.

You need to see what jet you have before going any further into this.

The saying "You only need to re-jet when you need to re-jet" may apply to you in this case. The jet changes that we have been discussing this week is not going to give you any night and day increase in power. It just makes better use of the pwer you have, but if your trike doesnt need it, it doesn't need it.

Post back with the size of your pilot jet and main jet. Since the arb was bought used, there is no telling what jets may already be in there.

 

how can you tell what size the jets are

 

The number will be stamped into the end of the jet on the round type, and on the side or bottom of the hex type.

 

alright I checked the numbers and the main jet had a 945 on it, the float needle had 20 on it , and the other one had 38 on it can you tell me what this means. I understand a little but what size is the main jet. Remeber this is one a carb that is 6 months old. It ain't the stock one.

 

Your main is a 94.5...an oddball size that i have only ran across few times. You can definately use a larger jet considering you are much smaller than you need right now. I would start with a 100 and test from there. Your dealer should have jets in stock and they usually sell from $3 to $5

The number on the needle cannot be deiphered without the letter code. Some do not have this, especially some aftermarket carb kits. That one will be a guessing game.

The 38 pilot came stock on all of the 185 and 200 engines and should be left alone with a stock engine.
