I had to take the head off and had a helicoil put in. The spark plug popped out when I was riding so it was a bit to far for rethreading it. The helicoil is...

Dustin, looks like you have an early Trail 90 (64-66 CT200) with a late model engine. What is the serial number of the engine - located below the Hi/Lo...
Dustin, The CT200 did not come with a Hi/Lo subtransmission but instead had dual rear sprockets which required the rider to manually add or subtract chain to...
Hi Mel, Thanks for the info. The bike does have the dual sprockets as well. I do have the air box and filter, but it requires turning the carb around. The...
Hello All; Has anyone had trouble removing & reinstalling the emulsion tube on a '69 ct90k1?. I had to press it out and press it back in after cleaning. Is...
Tom, Yes, they are a tight fit. That's so the gas will not leak by the tube. How was the "O" ring? If you litely lube it , it goes in a lot smoother. Did you...
Hello Dustin, Another simple option is to remove the tumblers from the lock so that any key that fits into the lock will turn it. This takes about 10 minutes...

Phil, more than likely you have the throttle slide installed backwards. Remove it from the carb, spin it 180 degrees and re-insert it. The wide slot with the...
