Yup. Found one, the guy says it smokes pretty bad and leaks oil, but the price is right. $150. He says the engine isn't siezed and the plastics and tires are in great shape. I have no experience with 185's, can you guys tell me a little about them? how does it compare to an ATC90? :lol: hes seding me a picture tonight and I'll post it here. Tell me what you think. :D

well they are faster, more powerful, and sit higher than a 90. the engines are much easier to work on in a 185. now a little about em. well they are semi auto, better top speed than a 200s, 5 speed trans, 22mm carb, 8.0:1 compression and 63mm piston. there is allot more info lol. tell us what you wanna know.

Thanks for the info. Why are the easier to work on?

i found the top end on a 200s and 185s and so on comes apart easier than the 90 and 110 and 125. ive worked on all of the ones i stated and the 200s and 185 were the two easiest to do work on. the cams come out better and so on. its just my opinion though.

[70ATC90]

I see, well thats good to know. Maybe it will be an easy fixer upper then. Still waiting on the pic.

Another cool thing is any of the 200 engines (chaindrive) will fit in the chassis. Basically, you can find decent engines in basket-case frames and people will let them go for cheap.

Okay wait, so the 200s is slower than the 185??

[RedRider_AK]

Probably something to do with stock tires and gearing.

that may have some info to answer your question.

[70ATC90]

Well its cool to know they have some zip to them. I'm gonna go look at it tomorrow. My lady is NOT gonna be happy to have another one sitting around though. So I might not... If anyone in Minnesota/Wisconsin wants it PM me and I'll give you his number.

I guess you gotta hide the 90 and then tell her it's the same machine :lol:

Haha, yeah, I'll just put it in the bedroom closet under her 1000's of pairs of shoes. She wont even notice.
