Like at the bay and out in the valley
« on: June 26, 2023, 02:41:28 AM »
Got this Like 2 days ago , yesterday took it near the bay .
and it died about 2 miles later.   Was bad fuel hose .  The one thats located in the tank and is known to
rot out.  See Stigs sticky in 200 forum



Fixed it today and mounted windshield and went out in the valley.

How's that seat working for you?
Some owners have issues....
"the bay"? I forget where you are located.
"bad fuel hose"? in the tank, or?

Still dealing the the shocks, I did find a surprise today , tomorrow I take off the panels and will take pics.
(basically the guy I bought it from said he "cut" them , I called him again asked how did you cut those?
He said (English not his first language ) "oh not cut I adjust ".   Ok hmm still I could just sit on it and bottom out, so
today I had it up on rack and looked up at the shocks , they dont look cut but there seems to be a big washer up at top .
I was thinking now why is a big washer up there?  That will be discovered tomorrow when I take panels off
and take a good look.   Im thinking the shop or someone placed washers there to lower it and thats why  I bottom out
just sitting on it. 
 
Near SF bay area .  Yes in the tank just like you warned, fuel line was cracked that goes on the pump and sits in the fuel.
Replaced it per the video and did valve adjustment and new spark and it fired up.

So took panels off and took a look at the shocks.   Previous owner cut off 6 coils (he wanted it lowered)
which pretty much rendered them useless .  No wonder my ride was horrible.  Not to mention just sitting on it would bottom it out.    There was no compression on the spring at all , just rattling around in there.
The large washer was because when he or whoever cut them the springs would not stay put so big washer held them back .  Although there was no compression or really no point .


Imagine taking off your shocks and riding over bumps and ruts, thats what I was going thru last few days.  Back even started hurting.

Anyone got spare 200i shocks they want to sell let me know.   Heck I just really need the springs inside them my shocks are find just the springs bad.
