2008 Lifan LF200GY-5 Second Gear and carb issue

[TheGammaGhost]

Hey chinariders!

It's been a while sense I posted here, I've gotten so much help from everyone here years ago on my "Lifanized" Roketa db-06. I'm looking for some more help with a Lifan GY-5 200cc that will be my girlfriends first bike.

So me and my brother both have DRZ400's and my brother is completely not interested in selling or doing anything with his GY-5 so he said my girlfriend could have it, but it has some issues.

First thing is, second gear is a pain to shift into, Like you gotta stomp it, and hard to get it to go, it wasn't always like. My brother said he did an oil change to see if it would get better, but it did not help, I will start with a fresh oil change my self to see if it gets any better. If it doesn't does anyone have a suggestion on what it could be?

Second thing is, the carb spits out a lot of fuel, Like the float is stuck or something ( i've only cleaned a few carbs so im not to experienced with them ). So we had a GY-5 Parts bike, so we took the carb off of that and tried it on his running GY-5 and it did the same thing, which i thought was very strange. Im willing to just replace it with a new one if possible, if anyone could point me in the right direction for one that will bolt and hook right up, just to be done with it. If you have suggestions on it, I am willing to take it apart and have a look inside.

Any ideas or help is appreciated Thanks guys!
