The latest product of the disease, a new basket-case addition to the stable.
I've been looking for a bike for my niece since her and her mom are new in town and they had expressed some interest in riding, and moms boyfriend is a member of a local off-road club and has a jeep. So I figured mom could ride the XR200, and I needed to find a bike for her daughter.
Got it into the shop to find that it has a brand new chinese carb, and had 135psi compression. So I removed the carb and set the float to level (was way high), and took a look at the reeds. Reeds are dual stage, probably Boyesen, no chips, but weren't quite seating properly, so I flipped them around and they appeared to sit properly.
Threw the carb back on, added some premix, and she fired right up.
$75.00.
