Hi

Sorry, I'm sure somebody had to discuss this earlier, but I flippen can't find anything on the subject.

I bought an OLD tw200. Had some minors done to it, and planning some more. I have taken the poor thing through a hell of a lot before I guess I should have. Will do some fix-ups later, but right now I just need to do some basics to get her running optimally.

1- Carb. I know it's fairly straight forward to clean, I just want to know about the pit-falls before hand. What should or shouldn't I do??? How do I get the little 200 to run as smoothly and cleanly as possible. Don't know much about the carb setup and maintenance. Exhaust fumes very wet & black... I guess I'm running high on fuel in the carb, but again...not my strong point.
Any help???

Also, the girl smokes a bit and is quite heavy on fuel. Would that mean the rings are gone or could it be something else. She doesn't leak a drop.

Thanks a lot!!
