I think the Zong engine might be patterned after the XT200 engine. However, I know from my top end rebuild that the Zong employs an XT225 flywheel. Some of the parts in the Zongshen engine are a little different from the parts in a TW200 engine, but all the parts are compatible with the same Yamaha, engine block series. Spud

The BW200 used a jackshaft, much like a mini bike. This allowed the engine and rear wheel to remain centered.

You just described a jackshaft. It is normally used on mini bikes to multiply gear ratios, but it's also used to transfer the drive from the left side of an engine to the right side of the wheel.
In the case of the BW200, the primary chain connects the countershaft sprocket to the jackshaft, and the secondary chain connects the jackshaft to the rear sprocket. You can correct virtually any misalignment this way.

Thank you, Weld. I don't think I would like to maintain two drive chains, two extra sprockets, and the jackshaft itself. :( I can see why Yamaha switched to the extra-long countershaft for the TW200.

Does the BW200 engine look like your Zong engine?

Do you plan on riding your TW200 in the mud?

If you find any spare, TW200 carb boots, please let me know, Weld. I need one of the rubber carb boots that leads from the airbox to the carburetor.
