This freaking bike!

H-series 200

As I'm tearing apart the carb, I noticed it's got an R-1173N needle. That's a 220 needle, right? At this point, I'm thinking the carb is from a 220. Is it okay to run this needle with my 200, or should I get an 1174?

The ( 220) R1173L needle is half a clip richer than the 1174 needle..you can measure the inner diameter of your carb to see if its that of the 220 or 200 ( 220 = 33mm- -200=35mm )..I think the older 200 carbs ran the r1173/4n needle..the slide also ran the *6 cutaway too I think , rather than the *5 ?

Hi, here you have some photos of the two carburetors by looking at the air needle port or the intake area you can tell if yours is a 33 or a 35mm. The 33mm is the one without the slide. Hope this helps

That is unbelievably helpful--thank you! Mine is a 35mm. Will the 1173 needle be okay to use? I've got a Woods Gnarly, stock airbox, stock 200 H-series engine, 152 main, 42 pilot, and ride close to sea level between 50 and 85 degrees.

No one can tell you if it will be ok to use. You will have to find out for yourself. It is part of jetting. I can't see how you will hurt anything if it is not right. You will be able to tell what needs to be done when you get it all back together and get ridding it. Every bike is different.

I just put a cel needle in mine and I love it! I think I have a 150 main and a 40 pilot as well. A little rich, but I'm too lazy to fool with the carb right now lol.
