I have a Tank Trail 200. The 163FML OHC is a good motor as far as I'm concerned. Mine has given me no problems so far. It did require a lot of prep work to make it decent. Here is what I have...

I would first check where the throttle needle is positioned. When I first got my bike it wouldn't idle for crap cold. My needle was set on the last notch, as lean as it could go. I moved it to the...

That's how mine was with stock gearing (17/56). 50mph was redline in fifth gear. I went with a 43T rear and I can hold 65 pretty well. Will do 70 but that's about it.

The carb swap has proven to be a great upgrade. The bike used to be a bit of a pain to start cold. I'm used to having to set full choke and warm up a bike so it wasn't that much of a problem, but...
