I'm sure many may laugh at this but I've found that running a 33mm carb off a 220 on my son's
200 makes better bottom to midrange power and the power band is very linier with no
sudden hit . It works good for us with tight woods riding.

Correct. The smaller intake bore gains low end throttle response at the expense of top end. This will work well for some folks, especially girlfriends, wives, and youngins.

Actually I'm amazed at how far the bike still rev's out. It with easily do 60+ " Trailtech Vapor " with 12/47 gearing.

I cant speak for the 200 set up but I got two carbs for my 220. In wide open areas the 35mm is the way to go but for tight stuff and low speed the 33mm carb will give you better response (torque at lower rpms). I also use the scary fast attachment in the 33mm carb.
