200x valve tapping??

ilovehondas · July 02, 2008, 11:21:07 PM

I just bought a 200x atc and the valve is tapping? Is this a big deal? Should I run it like this? Is this hard to fix?

They probably need to be adjusted, sounds like their way loose. Pickup a manual from ebay or go to www.3wheelerworldforums.com and do a search for service manuals, a user there has a bunch in digital format not sure if a 200x is one or not.

thanx for the link...I found what I needed. Cost me 38 cents. Instead of 38 dollars for a book.
