hello
 

hey my name is Brandon . i just picked up a 2007 tank sport 200cc txk200gy-1 4stroke . i joined this forum to help try to find parts and learn more about bikes. this is my first bike ever

Any chance you can post a pic of what your bike looks like? First time I've heard of the Tank Sport, and my basic websearch for the bike is of no help either :ohno:

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure someone with more China Bike experience will be by to help :tup:

I bet is a Lifan.

Welcome aboard

here some pictures

Welcome aboard. :hi: Bike looks to be in good shape for an 07. I sure someone will have some information on it.

thank you . im excited just to go riding now lol . the carb seem to be having problems so that why it might need to be replace.

What carb do you have on it? Take a close up of the carb and I could help. More than likely you could use a MIKUNI VM26 Carburetor $35.99 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/MIKUNI-VM26-C...9269D92RNEDSSH

this is my carb

Just your standard Keihin knock off that comes on most of these bikes. It's not a bad carburetor. Most people convert to the Minkuni for ease of tuning - specifically finding jets cheaply and easily, but you can make the PZ30 work just as well. Honestly, if you search just a little bit, you can find the pilot jets for the Keihin as well. I've seen a 30 to 60 size slow jet kit for them for 5 bucks. There is nothing magical about the Mikuni over the PZ30 otherwise.

In fact, you can get the PZ30 knock offs with an accelerator pump feature for the same price or less than the VM26 knock off. People often complain about the "dead spot" when they blip the throttle with the mikuni, and that would solve said issue. Mikuni VM carbs had the same feature as well back in the day, but I have yet to see a knock off with one.

which one would you recommended me getting, the keihin one or the vm26 ? im still learning about this bike . everyday i learn something new lol

Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mikuni-VM26-...tY-KhP&vxp=mtr


You can save a few dollars by ordering from China.

I'd just get the Mikuni. Not one thing wrong with it, lots of guys here and on other bikes run it, and it works well. Heck, I ordered one.

Got mine straight from Amazon with free shipping for less than any of the ones I found on ebay. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also spent the extra few bucks on one of these, because this screw is a total pain to reach. Not necessary, but it makes life easier. They make them for the PZ30 too if you think it is cool and want to go that route. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111981067209
