all it could be is the fuel delivery. i'm stumped, for once. it cant be mechanical. some after market headers and mufflers call for a rejet in the carb. but if you have the alumnium Cobra muffler, i bet some one has tinkered in the carb before you got it. i still run stock jetting with my Cobra and mine runs fine.

i just dont know. i would almost bet theres a leak. the o-ring in the carb boot almost always cracks and leaks.

 

lookin for opinions.... i have a 87 230e that im fixin up to flip for a profit, im gonna paint the plastics red with black nose, should i paint the hubs red/ wheels black or vise versa?

 

say vise versa it will look better.

 

yea i can't wait for tommorow night im going riding
coal hill, yea buddy!!!
just gota get idle speed adjused right now lol

 

well my day just keeps getting better. my local machine shop still doesnt have my cylinder head done and they wont answer the phone. its been there for 2 weeks.

but i did get some good news though. i now have admin access to The Vault. I'll be keeping it updated and add some new engine diagnosis guides, since everyone almost has the same issues. also i will be adding a parts compatibility page so you can cross reference what parts off certain quads will work on a 230s or upgrade it and there will be part numbers. keep checking in at The Vault for the latest info.

 

i vote for red hubs. they might seem too be a little part but they stand out when painted properly. red rims would just be too much. maybe solid black with a red line aroun the outter edge would be different.

 

Yeah, I was thinkin red rims might be a little much too. I like ur idea of red pinstripe tho

 

Heres my 230's. The one on the right is an 85 230s, one on the left is an 86 230e. Thats the one im fixin up to sell.

 

whoops, thats a huge pic, on my phone anyway

 

technically the E model is an 87. the vin tag might say 7/86 through 12/86, but its really an 87. any production model after 6/86 is the next years model.
