    200s keeps burning plugs

    After many plugs & carb cleaning & adjustments i got tire of this bike....sorry to say that now is on ebay.
    It burns a brand new plug in a matter of like 5 minutes running idle,sooner if you rev motor.
    -------I give up -------

    Mine did that because it had too big of a main jet, and now enough airflow. how big is your main jet?
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    Take out the jet that the yellow arrow is pointing too, there will be either a two-or-three digits number on there, that's what size your main jet is.

    Yes. My Big Red did the same thing. The ex. valve was way out and the intake was pretty far off too. My Clymer calls for 0.002 in. (or 0.05mm) for both valves with the motor cold. If you try to adjust them make sure the motor is at TDC.
