200s will not idle...

[Trikeboss]

The 200s I just picked up runs strong but will not idle. The carb is clean. But It will die when ya let off the gas...I need to know where the idle screw is on the carb? (But I dont think its the idle screw or the guy I got it from would have adj it?!)...What are some other problems what will casue a 200s not to idle with out giving it a little gas? I want to get this figured out asap. ;) The guy I got it from said it didnt bother him so he didnt fix it but I would like to have it idle!!!

Thanks! :beer

Thanks mike...

Ill try the idle screw in the morning but I have a feeling thats not it since the guy I got it from just cleaned the carb so I dont know why he wouldnt adjust the idle..

What are some other reasons other than a dirty carb or idle out of adjustment?

[chuckiedog04]

does it have good compression?

[Trikeboss]

Well it has a lot of power and it feels like it has good comp when you pull start it. Also it starts on the first pull...and it only smokes a tad...so im guessing it has good comp? but im not 100% sure. my 110 smokes the blues like crazy but still idles fine?

[Trikeboss]

So do i try and adjust the idle speed screw or the idle mixture screw?
Also what are the factory settings for these screws?
