Hi all, just picked up a 82 atc 200, 83 atc 185s and 84 200s. Been about 15 years since I had a trike, first one was a 125m. Feeling like a kid again hehe. :D
Been checking out the site, this place is awesome! :TrikesOwn
Anyways, just been playing around with them. The 185s runs/drives good (smokes a tiny bit), the 200s is missing a bunch of parts off it and the atc 200 isnt running.
Worked on the atc 200 tonight, had no spark. Guy said it died, no spark, he replaced the pulse generator with a used one, ran it for ten minutes and then went to start it later and had no spark again. So I checked it out, swapped out the pulse generator with the "parts bike", still no spark. Checked the resistance of the stator several times, tried cranking it etc. infinite resistance. Checked the good bike, made sure I had the right wire. Went back and checked again suddenly had 224ohms. No spark still. Swapped spark plug wire, got spark. Tried starting it, now not getting any fuel (will deal with that tomorrow). For kicks I put the original spark plug wire on before I came in and have spark. Wiggled wire around, etc. never lost it again. Bad connection in the coil? Stators strange too with the resistance. Going to check all the grounds I guess?
Would have tried swapping cdi, but plug is different then the 200s
Going to play with it more tomorrow, get a new fuel line, clean the carb and see if I can get it fired up. Will take some pictures to post as well.
