    200x Questions?

    1. Is the 185 motor the same as the 200x motor besides the engine size?
    2. How do you time the 185 motor?
    3. Can you get a wider axle for the 200x?

    I just bought a 200x but it has a 185 motor with pull start. The person I bought it from put a new timing chain on but I think it is timed wrong because it backfires and shoots flames out of the pipe.

    timing

    it is a relatively easy prospect.take off outer cdi cover,2 bolts.then take off inspection plug by pull starter.there are two marks on the flywheel.you will need a flashlight.pull moter over till you see a line with a f and a t.find the t and look at cdi position,should be on the line 12 oclock.if lined up your good.

    1. The 185 engine is kind of similar, its a pull start, semiautomatic engine. The actual 200x engine has kickstart and a clutch, and a higher compression piston, larger cam, and bigger intake/carb.

    2. Buy a manual, itll make it much easier.

    3. You might be able to find one, but they are rare. Your best bet is wheel spacers, wider hubs from a newer Honda 4 wheeler, or offset rims.
