Well folks. I got all my parts last Friday for my 200S, it needed the clutch replaced as it slipped very bad and a few other thing. I'll get some pictures later on today. The clutch install went pretty okay for the most part. It is definitely harder to work on an semi-auto machine then just a plain old manual box. Taking the auto-clutch off was really the only pain, as it was hard to find my dang 30mm socket...
---
So, after getting everything off and putting the new stuff on, I cleaned up the cases, installed a new gasket and got her down from the work table. Tossed in some oil, added gas, and bingo, first pull. Started and ran good... So I thought...
---
Noticed that the 200S shifts good, I had to adjust the auto-clutch a little bit, so it wouldn't clunk into gear and check case bolts and oil levels to make sure everything was okay... Everything seemed fine.
---
So, after about 30 minutes of ripping around on little track and roosting down the street, I come back and notice that the engine will not idle. So I turn it up a bit. Seems good, but now there is surging. I put the thing away since it was going to be dinner time.
---
After din, din, started first pull again, ran really nice for 15 or so minutes, but then started surging again, like it's not getting fuel or something. I HAVE NOT, taken the carb out yet, to look things over and I have not changed the in-line fuel filter yet. I'm just looking for an idea before I tear into this thing as it has me baffled. Part of me things that there is junk in the float bowl or maybe some goo in the carb that needs to be cleaned and then blown out with air. I read the "carb" section sticky and there are some good points that I'll look into... But any ideas would be great. Thanks a lot guys.
