If it's spilling out the overflow tube then try tapping the bowl with a screwdriver handle or equilivent to get the float unstuck before you tear it back down.

Is the 200x a good atc, i was going to buy one but then found a 04 warrior 350 cheap, i am thinking about getting a tri-z, 250r, 200x, or 350x for a project sometime in the next few months

My personal preference would be the 350x. It's just a great all around trike. 200x is kinda small, and the 250r is a wild ride but not trail friendly. The 350x is just a powerful trike through the whole rpm range. And as far as the tri-z, I don't have one but have heard parts are difficult to find ( it's probably the rarest of the 4 ).

Whatever you decide on just holdout for the right one. These type of bikes most of the time are either already fixed up and expensive, or ragged and cheap. Try to find it not let it find you. Like taking a drive every now and then looking for one sitting in someone's backyard. 9 out of 10 times it was laid up cause of something simple like a fouled plug or a gummed up carb. and you can get it for next to nothing cause they just want it out their yard. Good luck, if you have any questions just ask.

Yeah alot of the nice ones have alot of money dumped into them. With polishing, powdercoating, extended swingers, aftermarket parts, good working brakes, engine work etc. it will get pricey pretty quick. Almost every bike I have or have had started out as a OEM restoration but it went south real quick!
