I had a 1986 sp200 new. Uncle had one of these we picked up in the back yard of Kanawha river.. Arround 87. Had to lap the valves and clean the carburetor. The rear wheel had bearing and hub issues at we kinda fixed. No rear muffler so really loud! Hit the kill swich while riding and open the throttle. Then ON with the ignition and an earth shattering "Kaboom" Had to Show Local boy CHris Martin how to ride at Campbells Creek in high school on his KDX200 air head. Ended up taking both bikes up near the "Nose" at Witcher Creek. Good times and would love to ride with Chris again
Thanks for sharing this video. I have a '78 SP370. Owned it for 30 years and I am exploring different carbs for it. I am running the original carb with a Vape ignition. It runs great when it wants to. The carb is just too dang finicky and will kick back when hot, just unpredictable..uhh. Cleaned and replaced just about every piece in it. My question is what kind of throttle are you using with your TM carb?.dang those things are expensive..but it sure seems to rip! Thanks!
Love it! I have a DR370 project as well. In the early stages. Great information, Thanks!
Bought one new in 1978! Almost as good a wheelie bike as my 1985 Honda XR350! I've found another one of these and hope to have it in my garage soon!
Awesome!

I believe it is just a Motion Pro push-pull style throttle.
And rider🎉
