I have a cheap gx200 clone for exactly a year now

and it has never been able to idle and is pretty much wrecked now but will still start most of the time.
Even when i screwed out that plastic screw with a new clutch it wouldnt idle.
Instead of buying a new engine this christmass would buying genuine honda gx200 parts fix this and make it like new i could buy a new
carb
spark plug
air filter
petrol tank (dat ones all rust)
and centrifugal clutch
and proper 10w30 oil
would that be enough to fix problems?

just buying new stuff, doesnt make an engine work. you could have probelms within the block itself. but an idle issue should have to do with the carb. if you can buy it. get a mikuni carb.

Before you go and buy new parts, just clean the carb. Its very rarely necessary to replace a carb.

Before you buy new parts, (and if the engine has you stumped) just take it to a small engine outlet and let them have a look at it.

ok but could the none idleing be caused by anything other then carb?
and do the 22mm mikuni carbs all fit the gx200?

Idling could be other things, but it is most commonly the carb. Have an engine shop check it out.

The 22mm mikuni wont bolt right up, you need an adapter.

Since you've had the carb apart hundreds of times, do make sure the carb to intake gasket is good and the fasteners are suitably torqued. An air leak under the carb will cause the greatest engine run like death.

agk has lash specs, but they didn't work for mine. intake anyway. mine have to be really loose for my engine to run. cleaning carbs can be a pain, make sure when clearing jets you do it from the side you Do Not normally see. i use aerosol carb cleaner, and compressed air. if i have a clogged jet or four, i use a long thin hand sewing needle. e-tubes can get gunked up as well as choke/idle circuits. you said it set around for a year, clean the flys magnet and the corresponding coil sections. they will most likely be rusty
