Needle Question
I picked up a 04 200 the other week for $1100.00, looks kinda rough was ridden /raced & shows it, but I think I got a good deal .
I'm sorting things out. It has a bit of a bog off idle like its loading up then clears up & then hits. It has a 180 main ,42 pilot,#5 slide and needle clip in the middle position (dont know what kind of needle. I cleaned all the jets out, and was playing with the needle position . with the clip in the second position from top ,and air screw 1 3/4 turns out runs much better , but with the needle in the top position it runs even better. My question is is it OK to leave the clip in the top position ? I dont want to damage anything by running too lean . Or should I maybe try a 40 pilot, or something else. #7 slide, or a cck needle ? This carb stuff is all new to me so I would be grateful for any help. I guess I should've posted this in the carb forum . Just posted in carb forum ,if a mod wants to delete this.

$1100 is a good deal.
start with a leaner main jet. you're relatively similar in eleavation and temperature today. a leaner main jet would probably get you closer.. then you could move the clip down, which may eliminate bog. at 1500 feet altitiude, 75 degrees here today. 2000 gasgas 200 172 main, 4th position 42 pilot ddk needle 1.5 turns perfect..

Cool, Sounds like we have similar conditions. I'll try your set up & see if that solves it.
