Our 2024 GPS180 Trip

[@fanofoldfans9238]

Can't wait to see what's up with the 236. I was thinking about building one for my Coleman 200x. I wish there were minibike events like that in so cal. But in Bakersfield, we have a lot of open areas. Don't even need to trailer the bikes. Good fun...

Ya I'm hoping it's just a carb set up problem and or valve lash issue

[@BustedKnucklesBuildsTexas]

Great to see y’all 👍👍

[@nicsminibikes]

Fo sho! We'll have to hang out more next year! I'm going to build a new bike and team up with a kid from Texas that's been running the jr race the last few years. I'm going to take a step back and let him and chuck run the main 180 together. I'm just to big of a sissy! LOL

@@nicsminibikes LOL , yes we need to hang out more next year sir , we will see y’all there 👍

Looks like you guys had a little fun. Did you get your bikes fixed yet? We want to check out PMI maybe this weekend. Thanks.

[@nicsminibikes]

We haven't got anything fixed yet

@@nicsminibikes Takes time to get parts. New front brakes on the Warrior 224. Will try to get some ride along footage.

[@nicsminibikes]

Ya and being Christmas time parts are not to high on the priority list unfortunately u know

So what do you think it was with the carbs? Altitude change? I recall from watching a few videos last year... That track looks difficult in spots.

[@nicsminibikes]

I think last years track was worse. I was and still am over that damn bike! I haven't even looked at it since we put them away! I think its a combo of running a unnecessary pulse pump bouncing on rock and the steep up and down angles of the hills. The pump was able to over power the needle and float flooding it out. That's my guess, pumps got to go. Dirty needle and seat maybe. It did the same thing to us last year same carb and pump set up but different engine.

@@nicsminibikes Oh wow. The only thing I found with running gravity feed from the stock tank to the slide carb is that once fuel level gets to a certain point it will no longer flow well. It's like it's not all the way empty but near empty.

[@nicsminibikes]

@@Deucealive75 ya it's like with the angle the fuel line has to be to the carb u can't quite get it flat enough. I'll be getting into it probably next week.
