andy m Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I had issues with a 200 a while ago, firstly how old is your cdi? I changed both coils (there is an upgrade) and then fitted an OKO , it was a worthwhile upgrade, started and ran like a watch and performed well.

furse Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Personally a new dellorto carb would be a better purchase, may get away with new slide and jets but the body will be worn also. And as mentioned above electrics need to be spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 My 200 was awful almost unrideable with the stock Dellorto and put a OKO on and transformed the bike. I was very impressed~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie1 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 After restoring my Fantic it initially ran fine but quickly developed a carb fault. I changed a couple of jets but concluded that I needed a new carb. I figured that as vitually the same type of delloro carb was fitted to recent gas gas bikes then there could not be a lot wrong with the actual carb just the fact that the one on the bike was 35 years old. I fitted a new dellorto which was jetted and had the correct slide for the Fantic. It run great straight away and still going strong 2 years later. I've no experience of the OKO but I would suggest it is a replacement rather than an upgrade nothing wrong with the dellorto unless it is worn. Note Dellortos can be bought cheap on E bay but the standard jets and slide are not suitable for the 200. i know dellorto uk and inmotion will supply correctly set up carbs but cost a little more.

fantic240motor Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Personally I'd buy another stock Dellorto. I did the same with both my 240's, the old carbs were simply worn out and the inlet rubbers hard. I think there are two issues here that often get mixed up. Does the bike run okay on it's original set up or does it need improving? I'm happy with the stock Dellorto but if you think that it is in some way inadequate then go with the OKO.
