You quite literally saved my sanity! I inadvertently swapped the carb slides and had them reversed. I replaced coils, points, plugs, wires, boots, condenser and battery trying to figure out why my bike was running overly rich. I watched this video on the off hand I might learn something new and viola, I swapped the carb slides when replacing the throttle cable. Thank you!!
LoL I just did the same with the slide. Bought a new set of carbs from Ebay didn't think about it and made the same mistake but also one was missing the guide for the needle.
Going to fire it up today and see what happens, hopefully the rain will hold off and get out for a ride. It's been sitting scene 1986 begging for attention LoL.
Also having trouble finding replacement manifolds for cb200. I read somewhere you can use the 175s on the 200, anybody know if that’s true? It was mentioned additional gaskets would be needed. Or if there are any suggestions where I might find them for the 200 I would appreciate it! I’ve messaged several sellers on eBay with no luck.
i need replacement intake manifolds (carb boots) for my CB200 but i can’t find them online, will you guys eventually provide them on your website? or does anyone know of any other models of carb boots i could use as substitute? thanks
I was having the same issue and ended up looking at the part name/number in the manual which is carb insulator and had better luck with that search term on ebay. I also talked to common motor via email and they let me know that you can use the intakes from a cb/cl175 but that style is slightly shorter and need to be used with the plastic spacers between the manifolds and cylinder heads. Thought I would pass it along!
