    It's me again with questions from brainbox....

    If I was to swap the engine in my 250cc gionvanni with a Honda XR200 motor, what should I also change.

    Will the Carb (Mikuni) work with proper jetting I suppose. I found out the proper jetting for the XR200.

    Will the wiring harness work or should I get a new harness for the motor?

    Anything else I should look for.

    Thanks in Advance

    Likely you're in uncharted waters with this one. You'll likely need more than a new harness. The coils, brainbox, rectifier/reg may also need to be changed. It could be a very involved project!

    You may just have to give it a shot. if you have more specific questions, let us know!
