    Just looking over all your posts, it does seem like you might still have weak spark.

    The bayou 220 is a nice ride, i like them a lot, light powerful and easy to handle. Fun to ride.

    If you are getting a double dose of 2 stroke oil from premix and the oil tank it would be harder to start and smoke and fowl the plug.

    Thats good, the only reason i mentioned all that is because of one i was working on , it was chinese and the oil pump was hooked to the crank, no way to disable it except spend a half day tearing it down to remove the pump, it ran off a gear attached to the crank, couldnt run it dry or the pump would burn up and have to remove it anyway. I tried using premix in the oil tank but it was too thin and leaked past the seal, so ended up taking it out anyway. Hope you dont have any of these problems.

    I figured you probably did, just thought i would throw that in just in case.

    If you have power going to starter relay you have 12 volts on that post nothing on the other post, you hit the start button then get 12 volts on the post going to the starter if you still get nothing there, its either a bad relay or wiring from the switch. You can touch the two posts together with a screw driver and see if the starter turns.

    Sorry i misread, thought it was for a 2004.

    Welcome, hope you enjoy the site.

    Are you using premix or an oil tank for 2 stroke , if using separate oil taank sometimes they will put out too much oil and not combust properly, and sometimes the oil will leak past the pump seal and fill the crankcase.

    Couldnt reaally tell from the photo, is it 2 stroke or 4 stroke.

    Saw this one on Ebay there were actually several. https://www.ebay.com/itm/386323836261?hash=item59f2b1ed65:g:QmkAAOSwYR5lZkHa&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAG4se0BJ6%2BTEi71nPy%2Fsq5aWTu1y1NuibTHRSlczEgOuXXWufCzQZV8jwqM4VjgOn11jXyokBbUqX8K2Ow3TjOnK7pRJEdiHLFuSN%2BODtTEZif7s1IRlVqzkhBGAtNWavQLfvaGTJ8Ddcz6PBLG%2Bb054OirLFAzKPvjsJ%2FDOGMxKOh1U3kr4ZeiT5iiI8bY1It3fkPAgGagGJ7roxrqFVevMkQZ0NEUJp4tcpv9TcIBqyRljbR%2BG5ldktJ%2BSscT1%2BGB%2FCTjamMb7KcfGvlQJJdpIWiScwxvvTvK2rG3HQWSHnqNq0Y1HgCnPF0F3fX0SQ6HX6Kf%2By72pOuGluuAGtGU%3D|tkp%3ABFBMqL_FpoZj

    Good to hear from you EJ i have been wondering how things were going with you, thanks for the kind words, i know you have been at this one for a while and have put lots of time and money into it, sorry it didnt work out, but i completely understand, as you get older time is more valuable elsewhere. Hopefully you will find a good one to purchase so you can ride and enjoy. Still curious though as to why it locked up.
  13. Gwbarm
    Good that will work

    Interesting, since you have the old head back on , try running it and see how it goes, if problematic you could try rebuilding it, or you could use the other head and double gasket the valve cover and see if it gives you enough clearance, but there might be discrepencies other places that would cause problems.
  15. Gwbarm
    My first thought is the head from the parts bike might be not be an exact fit, especially after you said it seemed tighter after installing the valve cover, or are the valve covers different from head to head, might check that. I would take the valve cover back off and see if they are any shiny areas where it is rubbing. That engine was a mess you have done an amazing amount of work to get it right. Very impressed with your dedication!
  16. Gwbarm
    It is possible to check the valve clearance without removing, you have to get your body low enough to see under the fender, definately easier with them removed.
  17. Gwbarm
    You can check primary and secondary coil resistances to see if they are in spec.

    Idaho is a nice state, i lived there for a year back in the 70s, cold and a lot of snow, still have family there they love it.
  19. Gwbarm
    I check mine quite regularly and they very rarely need adjusting, but its a good to check, especially on a machine you know very little about or how its been treated. Good luck!

    I used black Lexsand a ridgid plastic similar to plexiglas, cut it to the right size and glued on a weather strip seal. Put little hinges on it and used a rubber tie down customized for a latch.
  21. Gwbarm
    I would look on manualslib.com you can download for free.

    Fairly involved procedure, take the shaft out remove snap ring that hold bearing in place remove bearing, then you can slide your new boot onto the shaft, good time to clean and regrease bearings.

    Sounds like float needle is not closing completely, i wouldnt expect that from a new carb, unless trash or residue from an old fuel line got in there.
  24. Gwbarm
    Valve clearances on the 160 intake .003 exhaust .004, there is a range where you can run them tighter, but i prefer these settings.
  25. Gwbarm
    Not sure why the oil needs to be drained, but a good time to do it, intake .004 exhaust .006. Some had tighter clearances intake .002 exhaust .004 not sure which model or year yours is.
