i have a service manual for 1997 - 2004 if that might help you. there should be a stamp on the engine to give you the year i think too. the maunals are here : www.yousendit.com

at the top right of the page look for the login and enter : [email protected] / password : romy1961

after it logs you in click on the folders icon at the top middle of page and you're there ....

there should be a carb tag on the left side if it's still there too ...

[redneckinker79]

dont see one but im pretty sure its a 91 trx 200 from looking at pics it looks exactly like what i got now im just confused i turn on the gas and it comes right out the bottom of the float

[oxidized_black]

did you take the float right off? you have to be careful tapping the pin out, and the needle should come out with it. the needle is probably shot. given the year it is probably due for a carb kit ...

[redneckinker79]

ok i will go try that thanks for the diagram as well

[redneckinker79]

ok checked it out looks ok but would that be the reason it just overflows everywhere? and how much is that needle ?

[oxidized_black]

its in the whole carb kit. not sure if you can buy just the needle ... maybe.

usually the kit would be 30$ and under ...

[redneckinker79]

ok thanks yeah i called a place and the needle is $30 but i didnt ask for a kit i will call back and see

[oxidized_black]

you'll probably get a whole kit on ebay for 30, don't let the dealer soak you ....

hey oxidized i sort of fixed it i took a milk jug and cut a piece and folded it and stuck it between the float and the needle and it worked to my amazement this thing screams to the point i actually put my helmet on i also took off the crazy front end thing the guy put on and it looks like a race cart again just with a big old honking atv motor on it and the reverse is sweet as well i will put p a pic of it and maybe a video i know its not a atv but its cool as hell
