I have a gp 200 indian engine with gp gearing and indian box all rebuilt with quality bearings etc, 28 mil dell open mouth running 122-125 main, av264 atomiser x7 needle middle clip, sterling pipe, pulls lovely first 3 gears and will pull oki in 4th when cold, then just doesnt want to know in 4th when its warm...At first i thought the barrel/ piston was at fault, (second hand stage 4 barrel piston) Ive borrowed a mates 225 top end (thats why there is a varying main jet size) and same again, plug colur is ok and it starts and ticks over ok when cold or hot, only think I haven't checked is the timing since it was originally done...Its really starting to get on mi tits now...Any pointers would be gratefully received... :wtf: :bald: :cry:

is it a genuine GP200 gearbox? some late GP"s. and vijays etc, had the 150 gearbox fitted, and with that sprocket set up (18x47) fourth gear will be dire. seen a couple like this, change of gearbox to GP200 transformed the scooter.

There's an indion box with a ludicrously high fourth. It's called a vijay super mk2 or something similar.
I've got one if someone wants it for the price of postage. An amusing practical joke!?!
