    Congratulations on your purchase. Is your carbon a factory keihn or a Chinese replacement now?The reason I ask is most of those Chinese carbs appear to be based of a 185 or 200s carb which will make it run/idle, but lose some performance .I had that problem with my 85 x ,and my buddies 86x. Once we put factory carbs back on there was a big difference in the power. Do yourself a favor and rebuild the factory one.

    I'm new to the 200x, so I'm still unsure about some things. What is the stock size Keihn carb? I know I've read somewhere on round slides and some other type of slide. What's the difference? I know there's a thread on here somewhere, but I don't have time right now to find it. Kinda just want a "nutshell" idea on the slides.

    Well there is your problem. I dont know where you can get the springs. Someone else will have to chime in on that

    These specs are off of the oldsite.

    I second the Chinese carb issues. My 87 had one when I bought it, would start, idle and run, but lacked power. I put the smallest jet I had, a 142 I think, and it made a HUGE difference. Otherwise, I really don't have an issue with the Chinese carb.

    Another thing I didn't think about, when you pull up on the lever, does it turn the choke on? Or is it the opposite. This is my first 200x and I have never had much time around them.

    Yes choke is up, stock carb is easily rebuildable. Go to keihn, I think, website they will have an exploded view of the carb. I don't do links.Shindy sells rebuild kits, maybe they have a diagram.Jetsrus.com........jets. Manual has all specs......24 or 26mm carb.

    Thanks, so I may actually have no carb issues other than it bogging itself down at full throttle. Plan on rebuilding anyway just in case.

    Suddco may sell that spring; They have a 25$ minimum so grab a set of floats and the float needle, maybe some jets??

    IDK if they sell a rebuild kit together or in pieces. Shindy works great.

    I've seen MOOSE have the wrong air screw threads....

    Will probably check on the Suddco parts. What or who is Shindy?

    I also need to know what the tool is called that has to be used to tighten the chain. Spanner maybe?

    Anyone? I'm gonna get pic of it tomorrow and post. Does anyone know a reputable mechanic anywhere between north alabama and central Kentucky? My grandfather bought some land up in Munfordville and he will be back and forth, and I will be up that way some.

    Speaking from experience with my sx, I want to fix the oil leak and smoking problem before something else happens. Considering that I don't have any knowledge of engines and no one to help me, I need to get someone to work on it. I understand. The "if it's not broke, don't fix it" but in my eyes, if something isn't running right, it's broken.

    As of right now, I am riding the piss out of it!!

    Shindy carb rebuild kits on ebay. I always used a medium length 3/8 extension or a piece of rebar or a long bolt to pry the chain tight. Whatever could be found. Thinking the 86 200x tool kit had a 6 inch piece of 3/8 round metal rod in it that may be the tool you are in search of. Not really anything special. You could wrap the roundstock with electrical tape to prevent marring the adjuster.
