heh sorry, what I meant by tuning was that we were trying to get the bike to stay running. We we just trying to get to idle on its own. no one was riding it anywhere without protection. I wouldn't ride that thing 5 feet with no helmet with the age of the tires that are currently on there. Now...

after playing with the adjustment screws for a while we got it running really well for the first time. Took it for a spin up and down the block... shifts through to 5th nicely. Needs a little more fine tuning but I think w are pretty close now :) A friend of mine taking it for a quick ride...

I got the stock airboxes put back on. then I did my best to weld the mufflers back onto the headers. so now I have an almost complete bike I can get the bike to alllllmost idle with the choke completely off but its still really touchy. I don't think it is a vacuum leak because while it was...

I had a suspicion that the 2 screws that go into the intake manifolds could have been leaking so I put some rtv on them and threaded them back in nice and tight. The idle is a lot more stable now... it doesn't just jump all over. its calm enough now that I started it up and was able to play...

Hey all, Previous owner hacked the mufflers off my CB200. Im looking for an exhaust to replace the headers that he left me. Stock CB200 would be fine but a nice high CL175 exhaust would be great too. I would need both sides if cb200 If anyone has anything let me know Thanks! -Brett

cool thanks... I really appreciate the help I'll take some close up shots of everything tonight just for reference. I'm a bit of a noob so maybe there is something you guys can spot that I am just overlooking

Yep, the slides are in there the right way... I double checked that last night as well. I checked that the slides are also bottoming out as far as possible in the carb. I thought maybe one or both of them were getting hung up and sticking half way open or something. and yeah, the cut out on...

ok so it runs way better now after setting the timing and adjusting the points a tiny bit. It will at least stay running on its own for several minutes without me having to constantly play with the throttle or choke. There is still something very wrong though... The idle still just kind of...

I checked the timing. looks like it was off by a few mm. not a lot but it for sure needed a slight adjustment. (my test light turns on slightly before reaching the F mark on the crank) I checked the tappets as well. I an fit .002 in both side (intake and exhaust) I can fit the .003 in the...

Thanks ;D the list of "to do"s for tomorrow include getting a better set of gap feelers to check the tappets, getting some more fresh gas in the tank, checking the timing, and putting the stock air boxes back in place. (hopefully all the parts are still in the boxes the PO gave me) still...

the gap on the points is prefect. right at about 0.4mm or roughly .015in my gap tool doesn't go small enough for the tappets... im not sure why those need to be checked anyway?

update I replaced the O rings on the carbs and the manifolds. I also went ahead and put a couple 88 (actually 87.5, closest thing I could find) main jets in. The idle is much better but still touchy. It will idle just fine for about 10 seconds with full choke, then as the motor warms up it...

I cleaned the carbs really well over the last few days. The floats are set at 21mm on each carb (which is what the manual says it should be). It runs way better than it did before. It would only run on one cylinder before I cleaned the carbs. I have not checked the points yet... I'll check on...

here is another shot that shows the exhaust for reference
