Hello everyone,
After 15 years away from trikes I decieded to get back into them. I found a 1986 atc 200x that has had the engine built by powroll back in 1986. It has been in storage since 1993. It is in very nice condition and a deal not to be passed up ($450). Anyway, I did all the basics(oil filter rotor/screen cleaning-oil change,cleaned/adjusted carb, cleaned fuel tank, lubed chassis, replaced brake fluid etc..). I am very happy with the results: its a very fast 200x. The problem I have is that it has an aftermarket mikuni carb on it wich did not allow use of the stock airbox, it just had a pod filter on it. This is no good for the conditions I ride in so I went back to the stock carb and air box with a uni-filter and the air box lid opened up. I need to jet up the stock carb; does anyone have a good sugggestion for a starting point? The stock main is 112 in the keihin carb that is on it now,,,the larger aftermarket mikuni that was on it had a 160 main in it. The trike has the following engine mods---high comp. piston, aftermarket cam, port job, cobra pipe. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The aftermarket mikuni carb that was on the trike is for sale or I will trade for some 1986 atc 200x odds and ends. I am looking for a rear grab bar (stock or aftermarket, a tail light, and the fender support bar that bolts under the seat.
