200x Decompression lever mod??

[Dizzo]

Ok, so after A LOT of searching, I've found there IS a mod for adding a decompression lever to a 1985 200X. My Reasoning, The kick start spring has failed and I have a (sometimes) worthless Goki electric starter.

I'm understand other models have the cable in the head, but thats not really the route i want to go .....yet. I seen mentions of cam covers that have this cable, but I believe all of those are for a pull start.

So what is the path of least resistance for modding a decompression level to the 200x?

Is there even have a decompression assembly on it? One that i could tap into?

If there isn't a known way without replacing parts from other machines, I will be willing to Try some home customizing with pics for a how-to.

PLease help..... before i have to get out the angle grinder.

use any 200cc honda valve cover with a decomp lever....the 200x has nothing so youll need the exhaust rocker from said 200 as well.

My 83 200X has a Goki electric start and a decompression lever. Whoever owned it before me did the conversion. They actually used the parking brake cable from the brake lever and routed it back around to the head.

I don't know anything about what parts were used, or even if the motor is an original 200X. I assume so.. and it looks so.. but I guess it could be an xr200 motor

Use the rocker cover and rockers off an early ATC185s with the manual decompression lever. The early 200cc Big Reds had the same setup.
You can use the later 185 and 200 rocker covers as well. Its just the lever was meant to hold a cable to the pull start. You can attach a 6mm bolt and a couple of nuts to make it easier to use manually at the head.

So here's what I need?

Ebay head

I saw another, with the head for $150. But i dont know what a good price is for just the valve cover, or maybe someone here has one for a good price...

I thing so. I think I'll be taking apart my doaner 200 engine .

[Dizzo]

hmmmmm. how soon?

[Dizzo]

Just found another on eboy, $30 buy it now $12 shipping. i think thats a decent deal. If Schott doesnt have one soon, im gonna buy this one.

[big schott]

Dizzo, Go buy it. That is a great deal and I probably won't beable to get to that till the spring thaw.

[Dizzo]

Cool, Thanks. Now one more thing. Is there any spec differences with these rockers. or just bolt on, and ride?

I'm 99% sure I can beat that deal, if you haven't purchased it yet.
Howdy

What does that decomp. cable connect to?

BTW, Great pics!!!

[dcreel]

It's actually the parking brake cable that is attached to the clutch lever. They put a u in it and ran it back to the decompression release. I removed the guts to the GOKI electric start (battery, battery box, wiring) because of the extra weight. I have never used the decomp. release with the kicker or with the electric start. I have a Tecate so I don't think it starts hard without it.

I'd probably sell or trade the GOKI if someone had the stock parts to replace where it mounts to the motor.
