86 200x needs motor help (fix?)

[erectordale]

anyone think i can straighten this connecting rod? can i at least salvage the piston and jug? I know the connecting rod might need a little weld job but other than that, she's gonna be good as new. LMAO :D

[toyota200x]

I have never seen anything like that connecting rod.

[chris200x]

Wow,,,I thought I had problems.

[erectordale]

this was the motor on the 86 I bought from 3ww member and he was right its trashed !!!! I think jb weld might help LOL found a 400ex motor wondering what it would take to fit to this trike

[90nut]

WOW Dale. I thought the conecting rod was broke but not that messed up. I feel kind of bad now. That is definatley a display piece!

[erectordale]

lol 90 nut still think it was a fair deal found a 400 ex motor today might just have to mod this if can't find a engine lol

[90nut]

Speaking of different engines for it, when I first picked it up I thought, maybe that 426 wiould fit in there? Well I measured it and it is only about a inch from fitting legth wise. If only the swing arm bolt was a little further back. Oh and when you get redy to fire that tiger up PM me. I would love to come up and check one of those badboys out. If you have some space to ride I might just have to bring my T3 along and we can go for a ride.

[erectordale]

sure thing cody parts supposed to be here this week !!

[90nut]

Well I finaly said screw it with trying to get the kickstarter off of the tecat the civilized way. Tomorrow night I am taking the die grinder to it and cutting a slit in it so that I can pry it apart. I hope it works. Just let me know when you get that bad boy together and I will be up.

[bigredhead]
