Throttle cable on 185s and other questions.

[79fordblake]

Well I junked the chinese carb I got off ebay and got a '85 200x carb. Has the 108 jet in it and it is a little to lean at wot. All I have are the short jets like in the 185s carb will those work in the 200x carb?

Since I put on the 200x carb there is alot of slack in my throttle cable and there isnt a adjustment, anyway to get the slack out of it? Thanks.

No I think you will need to get new longer jets like the 200x carb uses because the 185 are not long enough to suck gas from the deeper carb bowl. Also you will need some kind on modern thunb throttle assembly from a 200x or basicly any other honda,(probably any jap make will work) this way you can adjust the sloop out of the cable with the adjuster. Im not sure if you would use the 185s cable and throttle and just switch out the cap part that goes on top of the carb. I just used 400ex thumb throttle and my 200x cable with my 185 carb on my auto x. I never got my jetting to be right on so I cant help you there.
good luck
