Hello fellow wheelers, canadian project trike
I came across this 1983 atc 185s that I traded a pack of smokes for, it seems fairly complete minus a few bits and pieces. I figure since it’s already torn apart (Oh did I mention I bought it in boxes LOL) I will give it the old rattle can special. (Any suggestions on best color match? or themes :naughty:) After sorting through all the parts and pieces I have started a list of things I know i need that are missing; petcock, tail light assembly, Parking brake lever and cable, One rubber that attaches to frame to hold the front of the gas tank, Air filter but have the breather box, Rear grab bar or rack, the guts in the forks are all missing except the springs, decompression cable and I’m sure I’ve forgotten a couple things. I'm not sure if the gas tank is for this year and model so anyone that can chime in would really help me out, the carb has a choke issue as well, won’t shut off unless i hold it I imagine it's just a spring of some sort. I forgot to snap pictures of it but will add some within a couple days. Stay tuned to watch the build process there will be lots of pictures. I was going to record it and you tube it but it’s too time consuming I want to ride this trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro when it warms up. 11757411758911758811758711758611758511758411758311 75821175811175801175791175781175771175761175751175 91
