[1984 honda 200s]

hello, im in the process of rebuilding my 200s carb. i was wondering if i should go with stock ( # 35 slow and 100 main) or up grade the jets? thanks let me know, im not sure what to do, id like a bit more pep to her lol :p :Bounce

If your engine is all stock, I would leave it alone. You can also pull some plug chops just to see if the stock jetting is on or not.

oh its all stock except for new top end cylinder gaskets and 2 rear tires :)) and the stock jetting if off, the plug is black and dry, it would NOT run with stock # 35 slow jet, i had a #38 slow that came out of a 185 carb, bike runs awsome, but black plugg. needle set at the lowset slow and its the only way it will run.

That doesn't round right. It sounds like to me your needle jet is starting to wear out. That is the round piece of brass that the needle slides through when operating the throttle. A rebuild kit is very inexpensive and includes just about al new parts and jets.
