dirtrider Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Just bought a tlr 200 with apparently the wrong carb. It is a keihin but I think perhaps too big. After the bike has run for a short while it chokes up. Can anyone let me know what carb I need and where I might get one from? Also what jet size it should have etc. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-shock 250 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Ellastone may have one but they are a bit of a rip off, they know how to charge for TLR bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Thanks for the prompt advice lads. I did try Ellastone but they didn't have one. If they do get one it will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'd say, if your rich enough to buy a TLR your rich enough to buy the bits too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g4321 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Try to find out what diameter the TLR200 carb is - I suspect that it is a 22mm carb. If that is the case visit your local breakers and get a carb from a XL125S or XL185S (or even XL100S!), all are 22mm. They are the same basic design and should not take too much setting up. I would also be inclined to try a carb from a CB125 (single) or CG125 from the early - mid 80's If you go for the XL125 carb even the main jet is the same size.

dirtrider Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 It is a 22m carb. The local bike breakers sounds like a good idea. I wonder how much a carb will cost if I don't mention those 3 letters (TLR). Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g4321 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Your breakers probably won't know what a TLR is - if they do and they have a 250 tank let me know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik60ish Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Have tried David Silver Spares or you could try here = http://stores.ebay.com/Vintage-Motorcycle-...displayZ2QQtZkm For an alternative carb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subira Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 How about a bit of reverse engineering ? If the TL Carb works well on a Cub and a 22mm PHBL Dellorto also works well on a Cub then QED the 22mm Dellorto should also work well on a TL ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

james111089 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 do they fit the tlr200 and the 250 tho? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g4321 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 As far as I am aware There is a slight difference to the tank mounting on 250 & 200. The 250 has a metal strap which slips over the frame 'mounts' & positions the rubber 'caps' which mount the tank about 2" higher up than on the 200. The 200 tank mounts on the frame directly via rubber 'caps' on the frame 'mounts'. Hope this makes sense - its easier to see than describe. I tried a 200 tank I have as a spare on my 250 & found the difference. It would be relatively easy to make up something to suit 250 type tank mounts.
