i have a 81 185s thats currently not running because its missing the ignition system and one or two other things

i know this guy who has an 82 atc200 (not big red) which he'll probably sell if prompted. it does run and, though in not as good of condition as my 185s, is still all there.

i was wondering if i were to get it, should i use it or take the parts i need off of it (cam sensor, coil, cdi box, throttle slide, and throttle cable) and get my 185s running.

i ride about 75% percent of the time wide open on dirt roads so top speed is an issue. which one is faster, the 185s or the 200??

also, if i was to disable the 200 to fix the 185s, is the cam in the 200 bigger than the one in the 185?? if so, would it fit in my 185??

also, does anybody have any used ignition parts for a 185s for sale??

thanks

The 200 is faster. if it runs and needs cosmetic work. Get it to ride and slowly fix up the 185 if it is in better conndition. then you can do the 200 after so your not with out a ride.

buy the 200 and sell the 185 and buy the parts to fix up the 200
