    Won’t run

    Just checking back in. I cleaned and lubed the clutch. is still wants to move forward, but not like before. Im not exactly what the linkage is supposed to look like, so I can't triple check that yet. I did guess where some of those governor springs(???) go. its ok to ride now.

    Won’t run

    I cleaned the carb, it was very dirty. same exact problem, it would start and idle, but the throttle didnt do anything. The bike took off on me when I started it, I guess that's a clutch issue? looking at new carbs now

    Won’t run

    I have a CT 200 that has sat for a couple of years. The gas tank was gunked up and I removed the tank and cleaned it. Cleaned the carb also. I put it back together and I can start it and it will idle, but the throttle won’t make it go. the throttle lever does move, but the engine does not...

    repair after setting with gas for a year

    thanks for the info. Just to clarify, I probably don't have a fuel filter right now, but I should add one on the line that runs between the gas tank and the carb? I probably have a quarter inch fuel line? If I find a fuel filter at advanced auto of home depot. that would work?

    repair after setting with gas for a year

    I let my Coleman CT200 sit for a year with gas in the tank. It wouldn't start. when I looked in the gas tank the cap started to rust and the strainer that is right under the gas cap also was rusty. rust particles were flaking off into the gas. There was something(gummy dirt on the bottom of...

    Thinner tire on my mini

    Ok, so if I use a pitbike tire or a dirtbike tire what is the chance the tire will fit on the bolt that is holding the rim to the fork? How is the bolt that holds the front tire on measured? Are they all the same? My current tire has a rim that takes up all the space on the fork bolt. If...

    Thinner tire on my mini

    I want the turning to be more nimble, more bycycle like. There is something goofey about turning an 8 inch wide tire. Its hard for me to explain, but the steering always feels like it is trying to steer itself back straight.

    Thinner tire on my mini

    Wow, Ive been noodling through this for a few months and never considered there was a tire with a smaller tread pattern that would fit on my rim. My mini has AT 19x7-8 front tire. The tire in the link is 480-4.00-8 I assume 19x7-8 = a 19 inch tire with a 7inch wide tread on a 8 inch wide...

    Thinner tire on my mini

    I am revisiting an old idea of putting a thinner tire on my Coleman CT200 minibike. Initially I was going to use a bike tire, but it seems a pitbike or moped tire would be more appropriate. How is the bolt that holds the front tire on measured? Are they all the same? My current tire has a...

    bike tire on a mini/

    For the record I'm only riding this on trails. I built a 1/4 mile loop that winds around a little bit in the woods. I'm looking to be more nimble so I can carry more speed weaving in and out of trees. If I could go back in time I would have gotten an old trail mini with suspension.

    bike tire on a mini/

    Above is a pic I borrowed From KustomKartKid. That is what got me thinking about a bike tire or bike front end. Saying that it is too hard to turn was probably a poor choice of words. It is sluggish when it turns. I would like it to be more nimble. The tire is a fat 19 inch tire that is 7...

    Is this a dirty carb issue?

    OK, so I pulled the carb off, sprayed it with card cleaner, put it back on and it works. Thanks for the help. a few questions I have. When the engine is off, the butterfly does not have full range of motion. when I look at it and move the throttle assemble, it only move from almost all...
