i am buying an 83 200e. The bike is in good enough shape. Gone over the whole thing.
The guy said it ran fine his brother (who is NOT mechanically inclined at all) took it for 3 mos and said he hadnt used it in a while because when you put gas in the tank it pours back out the carb.
when we put gas in it was good for a minute then gas started dripping slowly from the bottom of the carb(that nipple on the bottom-there wasnt a hose on it)
then when I farted with the throttle lever the gas was coming out near the top of the carb near the fuel line somewhere.
I have an idea that his brother messed with one of the carb adj screws and maybe closed it?
Any ideas?
Is a carb rebuild tough to do?
thanks so much for imput
