Hey, finally decided to put some time and work into my 200x, and whaddya know, a powroll stroker pops up on eBay. I found it with 1 hour left yesterday night :D and esniped it for around $250 (tell me if i got a good deal or not!). Pulled the 200x into the garage today, and had at it. Engine was not too hard to get out, some of the bolts needed a lil Kroil and a 1/2" air impact to come out, but nothing broken/stripped :). Took the head apart, and surprisingly everything looks like its in tip top shape. Now we are going to make a flywheel puller. Heres all the pics (with descriptions)

I was going to ask if Powroll is still building engines as their website hasn't been available for about half a year. I just checked again and it looks like they are starting a new website and will still carry the same products--cool.

Nice turning the threads off, lathes are a wonderful thing!!

Powder coating is simple and easy but otherwise if your broke, I would get some good quality motor spray.

It's apart, you have a plan on a great motor. Thats CASH! Don't spend 500$ on the motor and ignore how easy it is to have a quality finish for short money!!

christph, i was already there. Glad that they're up and running again. They have the main frame of the website only, no products or anything last time i checked. I sent them an email about getting pistons

The crank is coming with a 11:1 Sudco 67mm piston, I know that stock is a 65mm bore, should i get it rebored to 67, or just keep the piston I have now? the stock sleeve and piston are still in great shape

Keith, I just used the puller, and it was perfect. For a $1 bolt and 5 mins of machining time, i'm happy. Thus the word "budget build":w00t:

The engine will either be black or white, i wouldn't do anything else because it won't match the frame and plastic.

Would it be ok to glassblast the inside of the cases too?
What/Who do you recommend for flycutting the piston? I dont think we will do it ourselves. It was worth a laugh that in the eBay ad, the seller said that "you can flycut the piston with a dremel if you are real careful" :rolleyes::rolleyes: NO
We are going to work on the valves and the ports ourselves though.

I wouldn't go past 66mm on the bore , at 67mm the cylinders tend to break at the base , been their and done that . If you go with powrolls stroker piston the skirt is already stroker cut .

I figured that 67 wasnt to safe. the seller didnt get their piston from powroll, so its not cut. I would like to keep the stock piston if I can, and just get that cut to clear by a machinist

Stroker came today. I'm surprised that it came in two days from CA to PA, but still REALLY EXCITED. Heres the pics of the piston and crank. Oh, and after friday, there wont be any updates for a while, I'll be in europe for three weeks :D
I'm trying to get as much as I can before we leave.
----------------------
Notice in this pic that the piston is 66.27 mm, this doesnt seem like a normal size at first, and I was confused. But, when you do 66.27mm - 65mm (stock bore) its a 1.27 mm change, which comes out to a .050 overbore.

Nice looking stroker , It also has the HD XR200 rod which is a good thing .... Powroll stopped using that rod when it became discontinued a few years back so you got a good one .

06-12-2013, 09:46 PM
I may have a bit of a problem. Honda lists the service limit for the small end of the con rod at 15.10 mm. on the stroker, it's 15.14mm. I hope this won't be a big problem :wondering.
Also, turns out i measured the piston wrong :rolleyes:. I guess that I'm supposed to measure the size at the bottom of the piston, not where I was. it is EXACTLY 67.00 mm, so i'm going to try and sell it, or whatever. anyone interested in a 67mm piston BRAND NEW, please PM me. I figure that i'm just going to get a 66mm piston from wiseco through eBay, $120 shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330731723541&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_993wt_1033
Anyone know how much of a stroke is added by the new crank? I think it's +4 because theres a #4 on the crank pin

UPDATE---- JUNE 14
Split the cases, and have everything apart. Engine is really dirty from old oil, looks like the PO kinda neglected to change it. :rolleyes::(
One question, and a strange find.
When I split the cases, I didn't touch the transmission,all I did was remove the crank. Then I found this little washer (picture 1)sitting in the oil. It doesnt fit over the transmission or shift fork shafts, and the only place that it would go over was the kicker shaft (picture 2). But, when I checked the manual, it says that there is only a spring and thrust washer (which were both on) but no normal washer. So, anyone know where it goes? I think I may know, but I'll explain later. NOW, for the strange discovery. in the clutch side inner case, I found a (what I thought to be) circlip (picture 3, what I found is the bottom piece). But, I couldn't find where it fit into the engine. Just for the heck of it, i decided to check and see if it fit the piston, where the rings are. Whaddya know, that EXACTLY what it is, a broken piston ring. That means that either when someone took it apart, they found it like that and forgot to pick it out, or they accidentally dropped it in there. I'm guessing that It's the same story with the little washer. I guess I'm just lucky that the washer and ring never caught on anything :eek:. I'll be out of town for a while, so no more updates till i get back :( Still need piston and gasket kit, other odds and ends screws and bolts

July 7 update
Wow! It's been a while! Well, just got back from vacation, and back to work on the motor. A quick question for those 200x motorheads, what should I replace inside the engine, I know that of course gaskets and some o-rings, just not sure which. And, are there any notorious parts that should be replaced? With the carb apart, i figure that it could use a rebuild kit too. let me know what you think, things I may/may not need. \
Thanks

update of 7-9
Searching for new valves! pm me if you have some
weve decided to not do an overbore, just have someone flycut the piston we have 3mm to fit the crank. tomorrow were going to experiment with glass bead blasting, starting with the stator cover, something insignificant...
my local honda shop had the full bottom end kit in stock, and a full top end one is on its way.
Can anyone recommend a high quality motor spray that we can paint the engine with?

yaegerb
07-09-2013, 08:15 PM
Pj1 fast black. Only high temp black I will use. Comes out perfect, otherwise I powdercoat. Take a look at my 200x build thread if you want to see what the color looks like.

rg97
07-10-2013, 07:37 PM
Update for 7-10.
Tested glassblast on the stator cover. heres how it turned out. any surfaces on the engine that can be blasted without the chance of getting inside the engine (right side case, cylinder, head, other misc.

yaegerb, ill have some pj1 on the way. its the non-epoxy one, right?
My other option is to buy a hand powdercoater ($70 on ebay) and do a self-powdercoat

07-10-2013, 08:54 PM
Yep, non epoxy. Make sure you clean the surfaces really well with alcohol (thanks flyingw!) and spray in four to five light coats. Let it dry overnight. The results to me are spectacular.

rg97
07-10-2013, 09:43 PM
Thanks for the tip. Would the blasted stator cover be good enough to paint just how it is now? I'm kinda an amateur on the painting part of things
I got a few questions about your engine, because I was looking through your flat track x build. Did you paint the engine when it was together or apart? if it was apart, how did you not get paint in the insides, because that's what im worried about. If i get paint on part of the bearing or anything, it'll mess it up. Also, i see that you made the head fins shiny on the edges, like stock, so is that just a light grinding off when it was done? Last one, how did you cut the holes in the sprocket cover? I'm thinking VMC or waterjet?

oldskool83
07-10-2013, 09:54 PM
i used autozone degrease spary, primer, hight temp paint and then backed every peice in the oven for 20 mins at 400 degrees.

these are my pics. Ill never do it again. its just too time consuming however i was laid off for a little and figured i had all the time in the world to do it.

I also modified the sprocket cover to have it accessble like new bikes. reenforced it also so its like a case save now. making putting the chain on super easy like dirtbikes are.

rg97
07-11-2013, 02:20 AM
right now im thinking of ditching the airbox as well, and just going to a pod filter, like this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/AIR-FILTER-MIKUNI-24MM-28MM-FLATSLIDE-VM-CARBURETOR-/300516337108?hash=item45f82b65d4&vxp=mtr) on ebay . the airbox is just one more thing to clean, and the in-frame supertrapp has been melting it a little. Pros and cons of going to a pod filter? i know its not the best protection, and the carb will need a re-jet, but of course I would put an outerwear on it and jets are cheap. If i cant find any outerwear covers, ill just use a pillowcase or a sock :D :lol:
another thing i just remembered. I stripped out the rear brake reservoir body, and its discontinued, so im looking for a replacement, either an OEM that someone has, one that will work from another machine, or a custom fabbed one.

Yes, the cover is good enough to paint, but be sure to use alcohol to prep the part prior to painting. You want to make sure all of the crap is out of all nooks and crannies or the paint will not do a good job of adhereing. Yes, I painted my engine completely dissassebled. I made card board cutouts to protect the interior case bearings and then for smaller parts I just taped them off. For the shiney cooling fins I used a dremel tool with a small sanding drum and then I hand sanded with a very fine grit. After that I took the fins to my Eastwood buffing wheel. You are the first to notice the holes in the sprocket cover...very good eye indeed! I did those by hand. I used a cutoff wheel on my dremel tool to get the rough shape and then I put the piece in my drill press with a carbide bit grinding tool. After the rough shape was cut I then used small files to get the vents perfect. If you like how that looks, I can do one up for you.

You can do primer if you want, but just put a very light coat on the part. I had to redo some pieces on my motor because the primer was too thick. All you need is a quick light fogging and then let it dry completely before applying the PJ1.

Looks like a good plan. I'll look around for one. Talked to Powroll today on the phone. 10.5:1 pistons, flycut, with rings and pins and gaskets are a steep $210... Still not sure if I'll got for it. Anyways, when I look in the case, there's a oil port in the cover (see the first picture). That is for an oil cooler im guessing (smart plan Honda!), but do I need to do anything to it other than drill & tap two holes? I'm guessing that the circle is the place to drill (see pic #2)

you drill 3 holes for a bit for 1/8" NPT threads if i remeber right. the middle you plug. a friend and I used JB weld metal if i remeber right. all you need to do if follow the above links pics. If you can't I have a photograph of the install kit directions used back in the day. I can upload for you when I get home.

1 hole for oil outlet, 1 to plug the oil pathway and 1 for oil return.

rather simple

update for july 28
finally got some time in to do some work and post up some new pics. thursday, i painted a few pieces like the CDI cover, drain plug, kicker, and brake pedal and valve covers. friday, i got a chance to blast most of the engine parts other than the inner cases and head cam/rocker cover piece. not pictured, but still blasted, are the cylinder and few other odds n ends pieces, like the foot pegs. bottom end together after some transmission binding issues (first gear on the countershaft wasnt seating properly and was binding against the kicker gear on the main shaft when tightening the cases together) but i'll probably take it back apart at some time again because i have a few more things to check. This is kind of a 'dry fit'.

Today i blasted the cylinder and the outside of the head, im trying not to get the inside to make any of the surfaces that hold something, (like the valve guides and valve seats)
as soon as i have enough money, im going to buy either an eastwood or harbor freight PC gun. the thing thats stopping me is that the eastwood is over 2x the price, but i'll probably have better results :confused:. accurately i measured the bore in from north to south and west to east, both on the top of the sleeve and the bottom. north to south was 64.9986 mm, west to east was 65.024 mm, so good there and not out of round enough to worry me at all. ordered stock bore 3mm flycut piston and high strength cam chain from powroll.:beer:w00t:

I always get the piston first so the bore is "spot on".

My Columbia gun and free C-List oven have served me very well. A good rack and gun are a must. A complete 250R motor fits right in. Scary tight but thats how I did Deepasquallies 250R motor..........There is a pic here somewhere or I can find it.

Need to have a good inline filter/dryer or it's all useless. ESP; in the summer hot/humid months.......

x2, I always buy the oversized piston of my choice and then have the bore matched to the piston. Only way to do this IMO.

^ yup! you should supply the piston to the machien shop and have them match it the bore to the piston. usually .002"-.0025" clearance around the piston skirt max.
your definatly more out of round than i would ever run it.

how is .0254 mm "more out of round than you would ever run it?" Thats absurd! even the service manual says that .1 mm is the limit, and im nowhere near that!
Remember too that depending on the alloy of the piston, there can be a difference in running clearances, because high-alloy forged need up to .006" clearance because of the expansion.
Correction too: powroll called me today and said that their piston kits come only in 66mm, not 65mm (stock) which i want, because my clyinder is in great shape. They recommended buying a wiseco and sending the piston to them to have it flycut for $20, which im going to do.

oscarmayer
07-31-2013, 12:34 PM
why does the piston need to be fly cut? are you runnign much large than stock valves or a super crazy hi lift? sorry if i missed that part of the build i am jsut curious. The reason is you are still slightly egg shaped on the cyclinder now. you need to measure the piston skirt and compair it to the largest section of the cyclinder jug. if it is more than recommended clearances, you may have to get a different jug and bor to piston. i donlt like egged or ovaled cyclinders at all. they can cause some minor blow-by and you will see slight smoking and thus slight compression loss. anyway, that's jsut me. i am picky like that. everyone is different.

but measure the piston skirt to the largest section of the bore and see where ti stands, that is the most important. then do the same for the smaller section, if it is not in specs then machining is needed to fix.

rg97
07-31-2013, 06:16 PM
the crankshaft that i have is called a squash rod stroker. look at the pic below to see what im talking about. about 1/3 of the way up the rod, there is a slightly wider part. thats where the rod has been heated up and been squished 3mm, because if not, the piston would hit the head, valves and other things. The crank goes 3mm higher (and lower) so they squish the rod. unfortunately, when they squish the rod, it also makes the piston go lower. that in turn means that you have to trim some material off the bottom of the piston so it wont crash into the crank. Thats called fly-cutting. Sorry if my explanation is confusing, maybe someone like shortline can explain it better.

If they want that little amount of $$ to fly cut that of (and that was the proper terminology) then let them do it. I'd still get it bored afterwords but if it's too late, just measure it up all dry on the bench and check you clearances and don't forget the ring gap.

What is interfering with your frame. No biggie if you used a spray can but if it's powdered or auto painted with a hardner, that stinks.....

thatnks for the offer but i cant use it. All of powroll's pistons are 66mm bore. I'm sticking with 65mm. Ill keep it in mind if i ever do bore it out.

The engine doesnt need a bore, so I'm not doing it. save the cylinder walls until they wear out. We are still going to hone it though.

Make sure you measure the bore top, middle, and bottom for wear. Usual price on a bore and hone job is $40, not bad for the work involved. It's a lot easier to do it now, vs finding out you built a smoker and having to tear it apart.


Good luck with the build, hope it turn out good for you! I like my stroker crank, I'm sure you will too.

No unmarked bills for you! I can however provide the prize in 15 or 25 dollar bills, whichever the winner wants. You did, however, get the technique lol. drill, low speed, up and down. Maybe i should mention that the crosshatch angle is viewed with the cylinder straight up and down, because say like 10 degrees straight up and down turns into 80 degrees if on its side

sorry if i did not say it before, it does look like a nice project you do have going. looking forward to seeing the finished product.
i never heard of a squisked stroker before interesting. i have seen that back in the day they would take 2 rods and cut them. one closer tot he piston pin than the other and then have them welded toget erh where the 2 longest peices were welded. (usually 3-5mm longer max) then some companies came out with modifying the cranks and use the stock rods or both mods. very interesting design you have there. i am curious on the stability of that under heavy usage. since i have never seen one of them before, i cannot even guess how it will perform, but then again i am sure they have been doing it for a while, so probelby ok. but like i said, i hae never seen one of those before so it's very interesting to me. if it works well, i may have some rods i want done for my son's racing ATV engines i build. would save me a ton of $ on it vs. custon made ones we have been getting done. so please keep me posted on the quality and stability.

That stroker rod is a typical rod like what powroll offers. I have the same one in my flat track bike. Powroll calls it a short rod, but I guess it could also be called a squish rod.

oscarmayer
08-01-2013, 02:18 PM
so powroll could take any rod and mod it? Hrmm. intersting! does that mean i can get anotehr 1.5mm stroke out of my motors easly? that would be nice as it would bump them from a 134cc to a 139cc then if i went from a 54mm bore to a 57mm bore that would make it a 155cc engine!!! told on tight bro! hahaaha i can see my son now!

im not sure if powroll will shorten a rod that someone sends in, but it wont hurt to ask. you can email them from their website or call them (mon-thurs, 9-5 pacific time (12-8 Eastern)) at 541-923-1290. like i said before too, you can have powroll cut your piston bottom to fit the stroker for $25 w/o shipping (which is what im going to do with my wiseco 10.5:1 stock bore piston)

08-03-2013, 01:46 PM
Update for 8/3
All parts are now blasted! except the inner cases, which i wasnt going to do anyways. just bought a brand new wiseco piston from ebay (STD bore, 10.25:1) and got a eastwood PC gun that are both on their way. Also, i calculated that with a 63.7 mm stroke and 65 mm bore, my "200x" will go from a 192cc to a 212cc motor. :D HD cam chain also arrived from powroll. (pic below)
Oscar, i think i read your post wrong the first time. do you realize that just getting your rod shortened will not increase your cc's? Think. if it does get shortened, it will just change what position the piston will be in at BDC and TDC. you would/will need a stroker crankshaft, not just a squashed rod, to get more cc's.

I'm no expert on powder but 1 coat should do unless you are using a 2 or 3 stage powder. As long as everything is covered the first time around, 1 is good with the single stage powders.

OK now I have a question. Before this, I was running a stock jet and clip on lower on the needle. stock jet is keihin 110. The next size I have is a 130, so i was thinking of doing that and raising the clip one spot on the needle. Is this OK? Its just a test because I want to get it running tonight

BTW Engine is in, pretty much 95% set up, just needs carb and need to re-time it with a timing light
PLEASE ANSWER

I would bet 130 is going to be too large.

High compression piston and a stroker crank . Good luck trying to jet a stock 24mm carb LOL . Your motor is going to want a 28mm mikuni to run right .

I'll find it, get you a pic and PM you. Just an FYI, busy busy weekend. Putting a lift on my truck and bringing in 100 more yards of material for the track. Finally, my friends don't want to ride it which is fine by me :D

Edit - I know how to make it a bolt on but lots of guys make a larger intake and and use a radiator hose........

I looked at yaegerbs flat track X build and thats what he did, a piece of hose with two clamps, one on carb and one on intake. We didnt open up the intake that much, just smoothed it out, the exhaust is where we really hogged it out :p

DC, what model carb is it? TM28?

OK maybe you guys can help me with something else
First start of the engine, it wants to rev really high (maybe about 1/2 - 2/3 throttle) when its just sitting there. carb slide is at bottom, double checked all jets for dirt, running 110 fuel with 130 main, 40 pilot, and clip one notch down from the top (slightly lean). No amount of adjustment to the idle screw fixes it. the only thing I changed was the pilot screw, I set it back to factory specs. HELP:wondering

Ok figured out what was wrong, the throttle cable adjustment on the handlebars was moved, so it was pulling the throttle body up, thus giving me the revving problem.
Did the break in, assembled the rest of the bike, and voila! She lives!
The only thing I have left to do is get a 28 carb, which I'll have a question for later, and I need to put on the stickers --Thanks to blue27 for all of them!:p

I shaved off some of the PC to get the OEM look head fins, I think it looks pretty great. That #130 jet was perfect, maybe even a little lean (but that might be the needle too), as it backfires sometimes when i let off the gas. and most of all, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I've never ridden such a beautiful machine. I think it's even more fun to ride than my banshee.

Now, onto the carb. I was debating a PWK28 or a mikuni. I run the pwk28's on my banshee and they perform great (even though its a two stroke). Let me know what you think, or other suggestions. The next Thing I need would probably be a new seat cover, redone forks, and other odds and ends

Post about how much you love the build!!!!

thanks to Dirtcrasher for the mikuni VM28 flatslide. I'm trying to get some pics up ASAP. Did a dry fit on the carb, and with no intake, i cant hook anything up, but this looks like its going to be a major PITB:(. The mikuni is larger on top because of the flat slide, and the whole body and bowl are larger too. I saw in yaegerbs flat track build that he cut off the parking brake line holder on the inside of the frame, i'm going to have to do the same, maybe more. the flatslide combined with the 4mm larger should turn this thing into a different bike.
also, I put out a WTB on the classifieds on here, but that side of the site isnt as looked at as here, so im going to ask here too that anyone that has an aftermarket X intake, kinda like yaegerbs, please PM me, because I would rather buy one than make my own

I have a worn out model of this carb. They use a 4 jaw chuck in a lathe and turn down the front.

Then they make up a flat flange and it's a bolt on.

The 200x aftermarket intake comes out at an angle .
A 28mm flat slide is a very tight fit and needs a short aftermarket intake manifold also some massaging of the carb itself . I grind some of the top cap off to clear the frame and I believe the back side of the choke handle needs help also .

That looked a lot like his drawing and since he is not using an air box, couldn't he use this to connect the intake posted to the carb and have some flexibility as to where it sits/hits?

Not sure what or where his air filter is though or how it is connected to the carb.

That looks great, but I've been giving things a try with fitment as it is, and i have some problems
1.) my fuel inlet is on the other side (clutch side) of the carb, right where the frame is at.
2.) my choke lever is right above the fuel inlet, also interfering with the frame
3.) the top of the carb hits the tank (yours doesnt because you have an aftermarket tank)
4.) i don't have an aftermarket intake, but i've been trying to fabricate my own over the past few hours.
5.) my idle screw hits the frame on the other side (magneto side) of the frame

Angle and manifold length is crucial . Set the carb in the area were it sets best and measure the difference for the manifold . Also I noticed your carb has the choke and fuel inlet on the wrong side .

in regards to the fuel and choke, i know they're on the wrong side, but as it sits the carb is forced to sit like that because of the messed up intake. once i get a proper one made, i'm pretty sure it will get fuel and i can pull the choke up.

well, i'm just going to end up ditching the manifold thats on there now, it's been too much of a PITB and the angle is wrong but the length is right.
i took some dimensions and drew up the intake base (the side that goes onto the head) in CAD, and the piece is a little more complicated than i had first thought (the holes that the bolts go into to go into the head DO NOT line up with the intake hole)... so here it is... Its a .dxf file that can be sent to the waterjet cutter and cut out of 1/4" aluminum
