Hello
Thinking about buying sterling exhaust, anyone recommend carb size/ jetting setting for standard 200 engine.
Cheers Jim

Come on, some one must have one

Got one on my GP175. 28mm Delly, not overly impressed with the pipe though.

Never run one but I have run a PM (Sterling is a copy, apparently a pretty poor one at that).

I ran a PM on an engine with more mid and top range power than a standard 200. It produced power at the top end but killed power low down, so much so that I often had to slip the clutch to get it moving

Any reason why you are attracted to a Sterling?

Price is the only reason to be honest, I like the style of the pipe up the side of the legshield but I'm not that bothered about loads of performance, any other suggestions?

Personally, a standard box pipe or Clubman. But, if you really want an Expansion pipe then maybe a JL3 or JL1, if you can find a JL1. Maybe, a TM24 or PhBl25 carb with a JL3?

I’m speaking theoretically but not from experience.

I once swapped an AF clubman for a sterling on a muggy and wish I hadn’t. I know this doesn’t answer your questions but if an expansion is what you want save a bit more and you wont be disappointed with quality and a little more performance.

Cheers Shane

Thanks folks, based on the comments I'll have a rethink and maybe stick with me clubman!
