Well, I got the bright idea to test my mechanical ability by getting a deal on a non-running 1984 Honda TRX 200.
After reading and watching a bunch of videos, I disassembled the carb and carefully scrubbed everything out and she’s looking pretty darn clean on the inside. (it was pretty bad when first opened though)
But after all the cleaning etc….fuel continues to leak out the breather tube on the side and from the bottom of the bowl.
From what I’ve read it seems like a float/float valve issue. I disassembled again and further cleaned and everything seems like it is seating fine. Can’t figure out a way to adjust the float itself as it’s just plastic in there.
One thing i did have an issue with is not being able to pop the tiny o ring out of the idle mixture screw….but the leak doesn’t seem to be coming there and the o ring on the bowl drain seems fine…..
Thinking new carb as they are about the same price as a rebuild kit. Any thoughts before I do this that I should look at?
Also, while on the subject of new carbs, it sure looks like the carbs off the ATC 200 trikes are identical but the part number is different. A rebuild video on youtube looked like it was fully identical.
Anyways, I ramble.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
