Hey, I just learned some special info about these CG-style engines… thought I’d share what I knew. Firstly, you can either get a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed with reverse, which I know you clearly stated in the video. But the other thing I found is that there are two model numbers that refer to different displacement sizes. The first one is 167FML, which I believe is around 197cc, which they call a 200. The other is 167FMM, which I believe is 249cc, and they call that one a 250. So when you’re browsing the web pages, I’d try to look for a picture that clearly shows the model number so you can know what you’re getting. If they list the bore and stroke, you can also go to a calculator and see the actual displacement from there. Hope this helps!

Wow what a helpful video just being able to see the engine in real life. What carb are you running? Planning to swap this engine into my 125cc jeep go kart! A few questions: What sprockets are you running? Also what is the displacement and what are the speeds? The website says its a 200/250cc but no reverse gear) (I'm assuming this has a reverse gear) Thank you again!

It won't let me edit my other comment Check my page I fabricate the rear brake. I cut the dipstick off. Because you have the glass window to see the full level and also the tab on the bottom of the motor can be grinded down, it's solid. And a 400 EX wire harness and cluster works. Great, it has the electric start.

Much appreciated Clean looking 200 x Still have my 83. But she's extremely wore out. Definitely need to reinforce the frame if you're cutting. I watched a 200s go off of 30 ft cliff. Lucky the Raider came off first. But it started up after crash landing. It did bend the fork badly but he was able to ride it back. 🤠🏞️🐂

I'm roughly going the same route with my 83 200x. Not sure which chinese 200 I have, it's a manual clutch 5sp. It's from a chinese blaster. I noticed it uses a 530 front sprocket, I'm going with a 520 35tooth rear n 18" tires so I'll have to sort out the front sprocket. I'm curious to see how many clearance issues I have with a 400ex rear shock on it. Built myself a plus 2 swingarm with progressive linkage. I'm hoping worst-case I'll make a longer intake to make the carb clear the resivor on the shock

Currently working on an engine like this only it’s water cooled. The previous owner cobbled the wiring so bad I didn’t know where to start. I ordered a wiring harness for it and a brand new carburetor. Has spark, getting fuel, valves are moving, but it won’t even try to pop. Wondering if the new wiring harness somehow throws off the timing? Any input?
@danieldavidson8149 Жыл бұрын
I don’t know what carb you are using but cheap carbs are typically junk. They will either have a float valve that’s stuck or set improperly or clogged jets from the factory. I’d recommend dribbling some gas or starting fluid to rule out the change of it just being a bad carb. It’s possible that it’s something else but a carb is an easy one to check first
