Fitting new flatslide carb to 200x, mossberger intake problem

[greenhuman]

You can get a blue coloured heat proof hose at auto stores although I have run radiator hose on some 200's for years with no problems.
28mm is OK for a 200X especially if you have some engine mods.
I am a big fan of 27 and 28mm Keihin PE series. Nice a snug with no frame mods and easy to tune.

This is a good option instead of the rad hose. You can order different diameters, angles and lengths.

i liked that part about the dg carb but it had a problem that when i wheelied it would stall the motor no matter what position i adjusted the float.
can i expect any gain from this mikuni setup?

Look me up at trikefest and we can talk about my breathing face to face, champ.

I'd highly, highly, highlyhighlyhighly suggest not saying anything of this nature again. I don't think I need to explain myself any further.

It sure makes me want to come to Trikefest one day.

How long have you been holding your breath to see a post that doesn't sound correct from me? Its ok to exhale now, champ.

Some real snippy little punks we have here from time to time eh? Look me up at trikefest and we can talk about my breathing face to face, champ.

Yes, I believe a 28mm carb is too big for a 200x. 192Cc of air, you can only stuff so much air and fuel in there before you are wasting it, champ.

If all is working well for you guys that know how to run them, then great.

Don't make this stuff personal folks, it's an internet forum. My technical opinion is usually spot on, and if you find yourself hoping otherwise, it's YOUR problem, not mine. Keep in mind, talkie talkie, that you might be standing next to me at trikefest someday.

I asked several times nicely and cordially to conduct yourself with a bit more respect towards the membership. Don't think anyone has ever questioned your knowledge or contributions, just in the way they were presented which leaves a lot to be desired.

In addition, This kind of rot will not be tolerated. None of us want that kind of taint here on the board and certainly not over the event, utter bull and shall not stand. I'm "too low carb" on a lot of things, but this is the kind of stuff that makes things happen in a hurry. Threatening members and insinuating you'll stir up trouble at TF over anything and certainly something as petty as this is just ridiculous. 6 month ban.

i ended up cutting the radiator hose at a 30 degree angle on the carb side, its 1 7/8 in long and the carb fit in great no cutting welding or grinding needed at all other than the parking brake cable holder. ive got to dial jetting in as it bogs right off the bottom (probably will put a smaller pilot in) other than that i think im set it runs great!!

Sweet man. Good to hear everything turned out.

[Dirtcrasher]

The better hose to get is at a Truck shop. It is thicker with more strands in it and has a green or hello stripe.

I run a 32mm FCR Keihin with porting and a full race came/race gas. I can't make it run perfect thru the whole range but I haven't taken the time to do so either.

A dozen people saw that puppy run real strong this summer at the Mik6 ride.....

They sell fuel hose at napa for filler necks in car and trucks, bring your carb in and I bet they'll have the correct size.

And I like DOHC but I couldn't resist the opportunity to use this. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it

[hawaiirider]

thanks, napa didnt have anything but radiator hose. i had to order a new needle valve from carbparts.com and the guy was nice enough to send me some hose with the parts free, i havent seen it yet but will check it out. Is this radiator hose going to clog my motor up or something? i works good, looks good for now. too bad they dont make a aftermarket female rubber inlet like yamahas come with for us to buy

I didn't read every post on the way down here, so sorry if this is a repeat, but I've seen rad hose run on engines before without short term issue. The ones I saw used were not the smooth rubber type you see on cars, they were the wrapped textured looking kind you see on fork-trucks and big diesels. Buy a couple feet and change it once a year, that should be a lifetime supply.

[hawaiirider]

k the one i have is the smooth type, no wire inside, its super strong though, i put a big zip tie hidden around the back of the carb to help support it when it gets hot just in case

Actually, he won't see it for 6 Months. Allot of us drive ALLOT of miles to TF and we shouldn't be afraid of anything other than riding above our own abilities.....
