my new 86 200x

[0GravityMX]

well i ended up trading my banshee for this 86 X...not bad at all ...gas tank needs repainted and carb needs adjustment but otherthan that it runs great.
i totally rebuilt the carb with new jets (same size that came out) and everything..it idle fine originaly just wouldnt rev very well and took like 50 kicks to start...well it starts first kick now but the idle wont respond to adjustment of the screw..(yes the slide is in properly) and i sprayed carb cleaner around the intake and didnt find any leaks....anyideas?

[harryredtrike]

if your turning the right screw and nothing is happening your throttle valve is 180 deg. out.

anyideas?

Yeah, get us some bigger pics :lol:

As for idle adjustment, if it idles fine, then don't touch it.

[0GravityMX]

no right now its idling waayy to high..and the slide is in right 100% sure

Try 2.5 turns out on the pilot screw. If that does nothing, then take the slide out of the carb, and re-clean it, making sure it drops all the way.

no right now its idling waayy to high..and the slide is in right 100% sure

pull your slide back out and put it back in with the angle cut at the bottom towards the idle screw

[0GravityMX]

the slide has the small groove toward the screw...long groove is on the pin in opposite side..

[harryredtrike]

than your throttle cable is pinching

[0GravityMX]

GOOD IDEA! ill let u guys know if that works

[Dirtcrasher]

Clean the jets, esp. the pilot jet. REMOVE all jets , use 2 cans of carb cleaner on the jets and thru the passages.

Also, the screw goes screw/spring/washer/oring and many times the screw tip is ruined or washer missing.

Air filter on and clean? airbox lid on?

[motoman1012002]

not a bad 86

[0GravityMX]

100% right it was a sticking throttle cable...replaced it with a used one i had and its idling like a new bike

[0GravityMX]

and no airbox lid..running a K&N with an outerwear, also has a white bros exhaust on it...now for another question...it runs great now starts first kick...but it smokes a tad at higher rpms...should i run a new oem piston? get a wiseco? any thing else to look for as far as problems on these bikes? never had a 2nd gen X before.
it does have new bearings all around , new chain and sprockets, forks have been rebuiklt

[0GravityMX]

WELL just got back from a ride...it was running fine....and on my way back the f^#king motor locked up.. (had plenty of oil and motor didnt sound weird or anything....just smoked a tiny bit like i said earlier)
ANY ideas as to wtf happend? i called the guy i got it from hes going to pay to fix it or find me a diffrent motor so at least it wont be out of pocket...but WHY would it just sieze up?

[obijuan]

3rd gear broke?

also why is it the guy who sold you the trike problem you locked the motor up?

[0GravityMX]

the guy who i got it from said he guaranted there was nothing major wrong with it. and no idt that a gear broke...it will still turn over just u have to litteraly stand on the kicker

[haggard 2hundie]

damn dude that sucks ! i had the same issue with my throttle cable after a new carb , i have a longer cable now and i like it it would rev unexpectedly when turning
did it sit for any length of time ?

[0GravityMX]

not that im aware of?

[swampthang]

[0GravityMX]

[0GravityMX]
