I have been (re)assimilated! Zongshen GS250
It looks pretty good for $200 gentlemen!
![]() I am pleased to know its a cousin to Brother Spud's outstanding GY200. Knowing this is a Yamaha clone is great news. :P It has nice tripple disc brakes, upside down forks, cool matte two tone paint, a super comfortable seat, what looks like an aluminum swingarm, very nice alloy wheels and Cheng Shin tires, and a halogen headlight. The prior owner said it needed a coil because it did not have spark so I bet it's the CDI 8) . The fuel was not stabilized when parked a year ago so I anticipate a carb cleaning in my future too ![]() Thank God I know a Zongshen parts dealer! :P ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I just powerwashed it and it cleaned up real nice. 8)
I need data gentlemen. :idea: Which oil filter? What are the valve clearance specs? I assume I set them the same as Spud's Zong tutorial. I'll pull the battery and put in on the charger and hope for the best. If I confirm there's no spark, which I expect, I'll get a new CDI and start from there. I'll change the brake fluid, replace the gas, set the valves, fix a crack on the inner rear fender, check the electrics, oil and adjust the chain, and get her ready to run. It seems to be a fine machine. So far the build quality is the equal of Q or a Zong GY or any inexpensive japabes machine.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() http://chinariders.net/modules.php?n...ewtopic&t=8673 It also appears you might have the same, inverted forks as my Zongshen 200GY-2. Please take off the seat, and the plastic; I would love to see photos of your naked Zong! Take it off! Take it all off! :oops: :roll: I think you might also have the same Teikei, MV28 carburetor as my 200GY-2. I would love to see photos of the airbox, as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spud ![]()

LOL Brother Spud!
I started taking it apart. Here's the CDI, what looks like a turn signal beeper I'll disconnect, and the battery and RR. The carb is made in Japan but I don't know what brand. Engine numbers included if it helps you guys dig up info for me. :P ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Wow! Grats Doc, that's a sweet looking machine! I would say that you scored bigtime with that one
![]() Round these parts, for $200 you might get that frame from that bike that W&G bought for the engine... Incredible deals in the US. Cheers, Stew P.S. I knew you couldn't resist another project ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You have a Teikei, MV30 carburetor, slightly larger than my Zong's Teikei, MV28 carburetor. All the Zong carburetor information I posted in the Zong Sticky applies; you can use the same Mikuni jets. ![]() You scored big, oh wise physician! Welcome back to The Zong Collective! ![]() P.S. More photos, please! ![]() ![]() Spud ![]()

One of your TK, MV30 carburetor photographs is upside down, Doc.
![]() ![]() ![]() The Teikei, MV28 carburetor on my Zong is virtually identical to the Teikei, MV28 carburetor on the current, 2010, Yamaha TW200 motorcycle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spud ![]()

Your ZS250GS swingarm should also fit the ZS200GY-2, dual sport motorcycle, Doc.

The smaller, ZS200GS motorcycle is very popular in the Philippines.
![]() ![]() ![]() http://motorcyclephilippines.com/for...play.php?f=132 The ZS250GS appears to employ the same stator and magneto as my ZS200GY-2 motorcycle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spud ![]()
