200x head on a 200s PICS

Thats what I figured, but I don't have one. Wanted to get some tear down done, but a stupid screw ruined that idea.

Run down to Menards, they are 5 bucks.

Sweet. My buddy who I was helping with his 200s works there. I will have hiem pick me one up in the morning.

I bought mine there, when that store first opened. probably costs a little more now. Less than 10 bucks still, I bet.

I use it that impact driver all the time.

a pair of vicegrips on a screwdriver works good too you can push on the back of it with one hand and get good leverage with the other

Tried the vise grips. My dad claims that the impact drivers is the way to go, and the people that posted confirmed it is the way to go

[lndy650]

they are i was just giving you a hint so maybe you didnt have to wait to get one

[litebulblsc]

Ya I appreciate it but its already getting dark and there are no lights in the garage so I don't mind the wait.

Well I got an impact driver ($6 at Menards) and it loosened the bolt, but it ended up falling apart and stripping the head of the screw. So what are my options now? Just drill the head off the screw? If I do and get the cover off will there be enough of the screw remaining to get vise grips on?

If you just drill the head off the bolt their should be a little left to grab with the vise grips just make sure you put some penetrating oil before you attempt to remove it . Those CDI cover bolts usually come off very easy I'm surprised their on so tight

Even the one I got out came out hard. The screw drivers were grabbing good, so its stuck in there good. I tried spraying it with pb blaster but it didn't do anything. And no I am not the one that tightened them if that's what you're trying to say..

Nope I didn't mean it that way as you over tighten it .Some times when the bikes are left outside they just get weathered so its probably just stuck from oxidation . Just be patient and spay it with lube and rock the vise grips back and forth before you try and take it out .

Drilled the head and got it all taken apart. Got the headless screw soaking in pb blaster.

The timing looked off when I took it apart. The manual says to align the the line next to the "T" up with the pointer to get top dead center, so I did. But the "O" on the cam was a little counter clockwise of the pointer. So do I try to line it up correctly, or do I line it up the way it was when taking apart. When I tried lining it up it looked a little too clockwise. Am I trying to hard or is there a bit of play in there?

[litebulblsc]

Well I have an hour of seat time on it now since the swap. The bottom end performance is their sometimes, but sometimes it is not. For example, when it is running good it can pull the front tire without even trying. When it is running not as good, I can only get the tire up a little when trying. But the top end performance really suffered. When topped out in 5th now, it compares to about 3rd topped out or 4th cruising before.


Any ideas?

The cam timing was set back to where it was originally. I eye balled the spark timing back to about where it was. It runs real rich by the look of the plug, but it did before. Compression seems to be the same.


Thanks,
