    I bought one for a 70 for 20 or so bucks but it was bigger and wouldn't run good. Maybe with exhaust and a cam it would have worked. Also the manifold bolts were further apart. But I've wasted 20 bucks on MUCH worse things so I'm not mad and I can steal parts off of it!

    That's what I was thinking when I bought this. If all else failed I would rob parts off it to rebuild my oem carb. But it works so well I am just going to stick with it.

    I just bought a carb kit for my 86 200x from Dennis Kirk and the parts in the rebuild kit were a little different from stock. It ran worse with the new kit, so i just switched back to the stock stuff after cleaning them. Chinese crap!

    My 200M does that sometimes too. It will idle so high to the point you have to ease into the first gear, and yet you take it for a ride a stop to let it idle and it will shut off. Might check this carb out if my problem comes up again.

    I rode with one of these for about a year. It was a bit rich for some reason and was hard to start. I wound up getting a rebuild kit for the stock carb and it likes that one a bit better.
