Just picked up an 86 for $150 tank is junk but has the recoil with the decompression parts. Piston is seized I have the cylinder full of MMO right now. Oil is clean and the trans shifts. I have enough parts to swap the top end if it doesn't come loose or has low compression. Pretty excited to add another one to my horde. Can't wait to get another trike back on the trails.
Hey Hopper!!! I too love it when another vintage honda is saved from the scrap pile!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!
Harvey, please have some t-shirts made up Harvey Spooner I'm telling you will make a lot of money, very knowledgeable man everyone loves what you do love the old quads and trikes, Sell for$19,95 know a lot of people in every one of them would buy a shirt from you, old school ATVers ,appreciate everything that you do
You most likely will need to change the valve guide seals they are probably dried out so they're not going to wipe the valve when they're moving so the oil is just constantly going straight through and that's probably what's causing it
Not a bad find. It probably needed new piston rings. It's getting harder and harder to find plastics for the 200S. I have an 84 200es, and an 85 250 es. It's a bit easier finding plastics for those.
I had a 200s just like that and it smoked just as bad I change the oil in it a few times and drove it around for a few weeks and it stopped smoking it would just smoke a bit when I would start it
Hey Bernie!!! I'm going to do the same as U did, I will run it for awhile, change the oil and see how it is.... It smokes, but, it is not blowing oil out of the exhaust, so, there is not a big hurry to open it.... Thanks for the advice, Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
Hey Mark, I don't see how it ran with that air filter, it ran rich without an air filter, with that, it must of been completely chocked off.... Thanks for understanding, watching, and commenting!!!
Probably suffering from no air filter blues but I'd change the oil and ride it some before I passed judgement. If they wouldnt buy an air filter, it is a good bet they didnt bother to change the oil. 👍
Hey Fan!!! I'm going to take Ur advice, will run it for awhile and change the oil before I break into it.... The oil was about empty... Thanks for the good advice, Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!
Well, it is a long shot but I have seen quite a few cars and trucks that smoke like heck because of oil. I have an 88 iroc z that smokes like that three wheeler and oil change didnt fix it but you never know till you try it. Either way I will enjoy watching you build it up. 👍👍
Hey ScooterSquad!!! I think some people love my collection of Honda ATCs better than they like me!!! Thanks for Ur encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!!
Have a deep love for atc's spent hundreds of hours in the woods riding them with my brothers and dad. Ps work love to see you tinker with that Yamaha razz sitting under the tarp been bugging you for a least 2 years about it 🛵🛵
Hey ScooterSquad, The scooter belongs to my younger son, be replaced it with the 150cc yamaha 4 stroke version and there maybe the 250cc version joining his hoard also.... I will memtion it to him to see what he wants to do.... He needs a new car, maybe after that.... Thanks for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting.... I was just thinking, 20years ago, I would ride almost every day also.... I need to get back to that!!!
after seeing a rag for an air filter it dont suprise me that it smokes. my old xr200r came with a sock filter and smokes, i bet the intake valve is razer sharp like my xr's lol, dust is the enemy of all engines. rings and a valve and she will be good as new.😁
Hey David, I'm going to run it a bit, maybe give it an oil change and will see what happens, but, U R probably right, the top end needs a rebuild! Thanks for Ur advice, thoughts, watching, and commenting!!
After a bit the color of the smoke went from blue ish to white... maybe a good hard romp will clear it up? Thanks for hanging out with me bud always a good time.👍👍✌
Hey Trike Master420!!! The Honda factory electric start atc stators are not interchangeable with the pull start only versions.... So, the 200e stator will not fit in a 185.... But, they are cheap on eBay... $20 gets U back in the game.... www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-ATC-200S-200-185-185S-110-PRIMARY-IGNITION-COIL-FOR-STATOR/372681653401?epid=220677957&hash=item56c58ebc99:g:xM0AAOSwQJhUlGld , Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
I recently bought a 1984 ATC 200ES that has had a rough life that I have now stripped completely down and getting ready to start restoring. Would you be willing to sell parts by chance?
Back tires look like that same Wooly Booger tread pattern that majority of the ATC's in my collection came with, I had the idea to try put a old 80s/90s square sealed headlight on the front of one of the bikes but the ones I have are too big for the original housing.

Always check oil before starting. I’m sure you did but I’m just putting it out there.

I've got a 200e engine iam dropping in 83 185s.
I found aftermarket plastic for my fat cat, but not the trikes... yet
Try maier, they have a lot of trike plastics for a reasonable price.
In fact, here's the link to 200s plastics there maier-mfg.com/atv.html?cat=450
Glad it had oil in it. Didn’t see you check it
What is a wet compression test?
You try to run it with gasoline...
Great sound them 200S bikes make. It did me good just listening to it. Thanks. I like it. Rings I’m thinking.
I had a 200s just like that and it smoked just as bad I change the oil in it a few times and drove it around for a few weeks and it stopped smoking it would just smoke a bit when I would start it

Hey ima be buying a 185s soon and the guy says it needs to be rewired do you have any tips?
Can I get parts for 1980 atc185
i have a Chinese 125cc and the starter box for the spark is fried is there a way to bypass it?
Hey Andrew, I would do the pit bike hack,
will a 200e stator work on a 185s stator.?

can i borrow that for a mesquito fogger
Whats the location?for pick up
bummer had hope for the ol girl!!!
Just asking but was the choke still on ?
What rear tires are those?
Back tires look like that same Wooly Booger tread pattern that majority of the ATC's in my collection came with, I had the idea to try put a old 80s/90s square sealed headlight on the front of one of the bikes but the ones I have are too big for the original housing.
Be careful trying to run too much on these old stators. The max rating wattage for the 200's was about 70 watts if memory serves.
