1985 Honda 200s

[turfguy]

Picked up an 85 Honda 200s recently. The last time it ran was in 1990. I removed the fuel tank and cleaned the rust out of it and rebuilt the carburator. She started up 2 pulls. I rode the little bugger around for a week no problem and parked it. the other day I went out for a ride and it would not start, no spark. any help please?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY!

Is it getting fuel? With all that rust and al you cleanedl, make sure nothing clogged up. Check to make sure the plug didn't foul out. Find out if it's a spark or fuel issue.

thanks, i didnt even think of spark plug because i just replaced it. gave it a quick sand blast and shes rippin.

Good to hear you got it running, so the plug was fouled out? It might be running too rich. Check the air filter also.

Any recomendations for carb adjustments. still running rich and fouling plugs. Also the air filter is missing, im assuming.
