Replacement carburetor for honda atc 200x.

[Atc 200x 1985]

I am pretty sure it is a Chinese carb after looking at it some more. In one of the pictures I can see the other side of where the choke leaver comes through the carburetors body and its got that metal looking cover that Ive only ever seen on Chinese carbs. would a 30mm even work that good on a stock exhaust? I reckon ill give it a shot, if it works it works. if it don't, then I guess im out 75 bucks and I can just stick it on my brothers 200s that's in dire need of a spark advancer.

I will post some pictures of it once it arrives. Fingers crossed it isn't a Chinese carb that hes up-charged and changed nothing about it.

Going from a 26mm to 30mm should work pretty good but I would probably not run the airbox lid.

As far as an upcharge, if Mickey is setting it up for your machine and replacing the brass with genuine components that is worth a little something. Genuine jets run $5 each or more, jet needles run $15 or more. Not sure how much for a genuine emulsion tube but that is a part I would definitely replace with genuine as well and probably runs $10-$20.

Looking forward to seeing your results.

Don't be so scared of an Ebay/Amazon Chinese carburetor.

For that $75 you spent you could by 2 carbs, a cheap Chinese jet/needle kit and probably still have enough for a #2 hamburger meal at Micky D's.

These cheapo carbs are "hit n miss"....but of the last 4 I purchased.....only one was bad. That's more hit than miss and better yet....Amazon's return policy is easy to get your money back.

2 things really are a fail with these units. 1 is the jets/needles (that's corrected with a cheapo various size jet kit) and the other is bad internal castings with the carburetor chasis itself (nothing you can correct). If you got good compression and great spark and you install one of these carbs and it dosent kick to life within a kick or 2... it's the carb chasis itself...send it back to Amazon. If it's just not running right it may be jetting/bad jets....which the jet kit will correct. You buy 2...one works just send the other back.

This is my second cheapo Chinese Amazon carb on my 75 CB125S and it runs like a dream.

Good luck

I used to suggest that, then I realized I may be doing more harm than good.

For those who've been doing this trike thing for decades, they've got a handle on what to look for on a carb and how to get by on the cheap. They probably even have enough spare parts to build a whole trike or two, so grabbing something from the shelf to try is easy and no cost.

There's a lot of people who are just trying to get into the trike fad and don't have any prior knowledge. The kind of people who don't really have any mechanical experience. If they need a carb, I'm going to suggest stock and a professional rebuild. One potential headache averted; move on to the next.

They probably bought something that wasn't running and thought they got a deal and can use cheap knock-off parts to reach their goal. That ain't happening, because at some point they'll need OE parts and current prices are through the roof. It's not a po' boy hobby anymore (never was for racers).

Dreams of a cheap trike build without any experience or spare parts is just that. Someone like that buying a junk trike then trying to cut corners because they didn't have a realistic budget is most likely going to end up a disappointment and money wasted.

The easiest way to buy the most expensive trike is to start with junk.

Then there's the situation where they can't get something to run and because carbs are some kind of mythical device anymore, they presume every issue is the carb. That is where it starts to go downhill. Wire harness issues, ignition problems, even mechanical gremlins will start to get into more cost than they prepared for and they start to scour the internet for Chinese parts that have a known history of being inconsistent, which will just cause them more stress and thoughts of ditching the project.


Stopping myself before this turns into something more than I intend, the people who've got the knowledge, parts, and experience to work on trikes can make due. People who're trying to get into it without any of that are best served by only using OEM parts when available. Either have a realistic project budget and plan or buy a good machine from the start.

It's not a gripe or complaint, I just don't like to see people try to get into trikes and end up wasting time and money on a project that should have been fun and pretty straight forward with all the knowledge on this site.

Payments on a new quad or dirt bike would be more enjoyable than how some people's projects turn out, which they never get to ride or trust.

Well it’s here. It looks to be real and it says Keihin on it. I have some pictures and I’ll put them here and let y’all look at them. But in the back of my mind it’s saying this things a fake lol. I can’t upload them on my phone so it’ll be a second before I get to my computer. But I noticed the jets are shiny, the idle jet or pilot jet has no numbers or markings on it but the main jet does and has the Keihin symbol.

I was going to comment on the plastic fuel bowl but forgot.

I've been using one and haven't had any problems.

As long as it holds up for a while, it's nothing but positives that I've seen.

It's easy to see the fuel level, trash or water in the fuel. It can't corrode like aluminum. It doesn't transfer heat like aluminum.

Just have to remember to not over tighten the screws, like many people do with the aluminum bowls.

Well never mind on the pictures. its not letting me upload them for some reason. I put the carb on and it runs, its just lean. he gave me some other main jets a 110 108 and 104, I have the 110 in it right now. later im gonna switch out the pilot jet thats in it now for the original and see if that fixes my issue. EDIT: Ok the I guess the computer lied to me and it uploaded one of the pictures.

It's got an adjustable float, which is nice compared to the non adjustable stock one.


I've been running one of those floats in a stock carb for a couple years now and haven't had any issues with it.
