Hi,
I have just got myself an ATC 200S 1984 to fix up. I would like to change the (broken) motor for a motorcycle one with an electric starter if possible. Is there one which will drop right in? I dont mind changing the capacity (185/200/250)
Motorcycle motors are real cheap here in the UK but ATC ones are like gold dust!
Thanks,
Rich.

the only thing that comes to mind .. might be an XR 200 type tranny.. rear kick will be a problem and the sproket chain setup might not be right.. never heard of a direct bolt-in yet !!!!!..
