Well to the people who have seen my previous posts, I have some good news. My 185s is finally in riding condition! I adjusted my carburetor and fuel line, which resulted in a more reliably running engine. It finally idles and it doesn't mysteriously die on me while riding. The only complaint would be on the front tire. I got a new mud buster and the installer messed up some how and it wouldn't hold air any longer than an hour, half an hour if I rode on it. A week after that, it held air, for another week that is. When I was riding the other day it just slid off the rim so Im waiting on my uncle's air compressor to reseat it. I've got a straight pipe on it that I made from a hollow electric scooter seat post. I know its bad on the valves so I am hoping to replace it soon with a cobra exhaust. Also how much slack, if any, should my chain have? I have slid my rear axle back as far as it will go, which results in extremely little slack but as soon as I shift into first it goes back to an amount of slack that is still fairly little but It wiggles considerably more. Also, my 2nd gear is stripped. I usually just skip it when shifting but its a pain. I'm almost 100% sure that my 200s trans is interchangeable, so I'm wanting to do a swap. Is it as simple as unbolting the heads and swapping them? I'd do a full engine and trans swap but the actual engine on the 200s is locked up, so I want to just swap the heads. Is it as simple as unbolt, swap, and bolt them back together? Sorry bout the lengthy message but I haven't had access to the site in awhile so I had a lot of questions lol. My last question (I promise) is what is the normal top speed? I believe I have topped it out at about 40-45 before and I want to know if that is normal or too slow. Thanks for your time and patience.
