Unfortunately, I had to drill out the stock main jet, scared shitless I would damage the pilot jet in the process. (I also tinted the headlight yellow, because who the fuck cares?) The intake kit comes with a beautifully machined adapter that shamefully can’t be seen as well as a larger jet for the carburetor, which should’ve been easy to install. ’s pipe-literally just a flanged pipe, with an optional muffler-comes with a thick, rubbery, black heat wrap that I didn’t like, so I covered my pipe in the über-hip heat wrap everyone loves to hate. The CT200’s exhaust is a black box held on with two bolts. Then I stopped for lunch: a turkey wrap with all the fixings, potato salad on the side. I followed a detailed how-to video on YouTube and ran into no issues whatsoever. ![]() ![]() With the engine sitting an inch higher, I installed the belt-driven torque converter, which is much more robust than stock clutch setup. The risers are chunks of square tubing that bolt in easily, although realigning the engine takes finesse if it’s not lined up properly when the transmission goes on, the chain rubs. ’s torque converter swap requires the installation of one-inch engine risers due to clearance issues-it also requires cutting and removing a cross-member from behind the engine-but reviews said “smoother acceleration” and “increased top speed,” so I didn’t think twice. I cleaned the internals and closed up the 196cc, 6.5-hp, pull-start engine, which I then unbolted from the beige frame. Eventually, the gear cracked and came out without fuss. I’d watched YouTube tutorials before bed and came to the conclusion that there’s no clean way to remove the governor, so I hacked it apart and diligently collected plastic shrapnel. With the chain-driven, centrifugal clutch transmission removed, I opened the engine and located the black plastic gear that restricts top speed. First, I removed the speed governor, which requires cracking open the engine case. A box from showed up the next morning, and I got to work with coffee in hand. With everything unboxed in my garage, I set aside the front end, removed the camouflaged bodywork, and called it a night. The Coleman comes half-assembled in a big-ass box that requires a truck or van or a back seat as spacious as a Maybach’s. The Coleman I raced in the Mini Moto Enduro, the CT200U, had a completely rigid frame, but my mini-bike, the EX model, has a standard front fork, which will surely be appreciated by my genitals. The clock started after I picked up my Coleman CT200U-EX. For me, the whole build would have to be completed in less than 72 hours. Fortunately, labor isn’t intensive and monetary investment is minimal, so it’s up to you to decide how much time you’re willing to commit to the project. Mini-bikes are fun, simple, silly machines, and putting too much time or money into one is dumb. To repay such kindnesses I wanted to build an enviable mini-bike, but I felt conflicted about that. ![]()
