bonsaisuper Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hello all, figured I would introduce myself a little. First trails is new to me as a hobbie ... I used to ride.motocross and have riden lots of different bikes etc. About 4 days ago I was offered a gas gas txt200 for pretty much free. Its missing a rad cap and a manifold witch I am struggleing to find. I have spent all day today putting all.the pipes back on the bike and basically building.it back together, I have completed building.the bike pretty much, I have tried starting the bike bit if im.right in thinking it wont start because it hasn't got a manifold ?? Apart from.that theres fuel and spark and air so shoukd start.lol ... look forward to hereing from you all Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Missing a manifold, which one are you missing, between the carb and crankcase or the exhaust? For spares give GGUK a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaisuper Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi thanks for your reply, the exhaust manifold, I have the backbox/silencer just not the start lol from the engine to the back box... would this stop the engine from starting because theres no back pressure ??

shercoben12 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 "manifold" header pipe yes you do need the header pipe as back pressure is critical on a 2 smoker. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaisuper Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Nice one buddie, ill find one and get it put on. Didnt relise its called a header pipe lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoben12 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 That's fine ! You may as well get one of theese as the stock pipe is probably the same price maybe more. http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/products/thor-Gas Gas-titanium-front-pipe You will get more power and tourque as well from the titanium pipes like that one. S3 also make one look on trials enduro direct. They look awesome as well but make sure you get a guard for it as they dent easily Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonsaisuper Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hi, my bike is a 2000. He breaks all sorts from evo to pretty new I think he can get most parts his business is breaking bikes and selling parts/bikes for people who havnt got a brand new bike lol. I was in contact with gas gas uk but when I said my bike was a 2000 they didnt want to no so I found this chap he is a very handy bloke who will try and get most parts for most bikes lol and not at a rediculas price lol wouod you like his number ??
