If you have the 38mm carb, I think the 168 main is on the lean side
I was running a 36mm carb on my 200 with r1370eka in #1 or 2 with 40pj and 172 main
Thank you for the replies
The answer could be staring me in the face
As I bought the bike with a blown engine!
I haven’t pulled it all apart yet but sounds like a bottom end crank bearing. Piston looks fairly worn. Cylinder looks good, but maybe previous owner cleaned it up first
Would a lectron Carb help? Click it a few clicks richer for the street?
Modified(?)choke circuit with cable ?
Richer fuel/Oil mix?
What would realistic exceptions be?
Anyone with experience seizing a 2-stroke on the pavement?
Is that really necessary? How do 2-stroke scooters and street bikes survive?
And if it wasn’t clear I have zero experience riding any dual sport.
The most likely occurrence would probably be when I have a limited amount of time before dark, say 2 hours and the ohv park is 15-20 miles away I...
Ideally:
Maintain speed of 50-60mph
Handle 1 hour* of continuous pavement
Not blow up!
Pavement will be avoided as much as possible. No interstate. 1 hour is hopefully worst case and not the norm
Anyone have thoughts on building an ec300 as a dualsport? This would need to be comparable to the newer ktm/hisky/gasgas 500 4-strokes I have a 2001 ec300 engine as well as a counter balanced engine
Frame is the same for 200, 250 and 300
200 has a unique pipe and cdi, but the 250/300 should mount up
I have the original 200 pipe and cdi to include with the engine, but we have been using the 250/300 fmf gnarly
there hasn't been many bikes for sale lately, so hard to judge, other than in general, used prices for most things are higher than ever.
If it's $500 I will drive over and buy it tomorrow!
realistically I would say 4-5k
