Today i decided to work on the 185s. the old gas tank was crap so i got a 200 gas tank and stuck it on there. a week ago i took the carb off and gave it to a friend and got it back today, and when i asked he said i might need new needles or something like that. well i stuck it on the wheeler today, put on the gas tank filled it up a little, and turned the knob to reserve cause there wasnt much gas in it. well then i was looking the carb cause gas was leaking out of the bottom hole on it. then i thought i must have put the hose in the wrong spot, so then i put it on the top hole and it was leaking everywhere. what would the problem be, ive got a new carb coming anyways but if i can save the carb i have now so i can run it tomorrow with my family that would be great. Also i have a few other questions. How do i put new rope in the rewind? And what is the cable coming out of the rewind connected to the lever by the spark plug? And one final question. The tires that were on at first were completely worn and rotted out, so i bought some new tires but i cant get the old ones off the rims and i probably wont be able to get the new ones on, well after about 2 days of trying i remembered i had to extra tires for my 250es so i took those and seen if the bolts would line up, they didnt but i wanted to know if it was possible to drill holes so that they would? or any ideas on a way to get the tires on and off the rims? thanks

You need a carb kit.
Reroping one is to hard to explain if you do not understand the principle of it.
Its a decompression device to assist in pulling the rope.
Changing tires is tough on experienced guys with tools. Take them to a tire shop.
NO! Do not drill holes in a rim to fit another machine.

MOST IMPORTANT- look in "World Class Help Section" and get a manual. Read it two or three times, then ask questions on what you do not understand.
