brought another one back to life!

I'll get pics later, Found a ad on craigslist for a 82 185 ATC for 100 bucks obo. The poor thing was missing 1/2 the carb, leaky front tire, tore up seat, etc. I asked the guy what would be the best deal for the thing, and he told me 75 bucks. I figure the recoil and clarke tank was worth that. So I bring it home, I had this old 200X carb on the shelf, bolted it one, filled it with gas, tossed a not so bad plug in it, pulled on it and she fired up. It smokes, but runs good! tonight, I fixed the leaky front tire and rode it around the cul de sac!. Turns out, when I checked the numbers, its a 81 ATC200. Not too shabby for a 75 dollar trike! Probably cover the seat, give it a proper tune, get a front brake cable setup on it and make someone a nice toy. Jim

how are the fenders? that sound like a good deal

[Jim mac]

fender is worn, and has a crack, which I stitched with Zip ties. Ive got a old driving lite im going to use as a headlight. I dont really want to go as far as reringing the motor, the oil is real dirty, who knows maybe itll smoke less with fresh oil. Jim

Pics! it aint pretty, it smokes but seems to run pretty good.

I would have bought it for 75.00

Might smoke a little less after the carb is set right also.
