I just bought and installed a flat slide carb on my 230. Huge improvement and I was able to leave the carb set up just as it came, once I adjusted the mixture screw.
bought it from here, its the cheapest price I could find:

hi, i was debateing on if i should pick up 1986 LT230 becasue it was cheap. he says it runs but i cant imagine it runs too great. i am willing to put alittle money into this little machine. i dont really have any machanical knoledge but do want to expirement and learn. you said it does wheelys in 2nd gear, and the only reason i am hesitating on buying this is becasue i am not sure it will have enough power? i am about 6 foot, 170 pounds. do you guys think this can drag me around?

Yeah,
I agree, I'm 225lbs and my 230 takes off and I'm in fifth gear in a hurry.
I had a question on jet sizing for my 230. It has a .060 over Wiseco piston and new valves. This thing has a custom ground white brothers cam in it as well. It revs up extremely fast but it struggles to idle at a low rpm.how agressive the cam is if that is the problem with idle or if I need bigger jets. Right it has a size20 primary jet and the main jet is the original. I have the needle set on the 3rd notch(stock). I guess my question is that I'm not really sure how to go about determing the jet size to go to or how I know if it is running to lean.
Any help would be great!
