Hello all - I'm Corey from the great state of Mississippi. Don't get me as a redneck just yet. No, I've yet to really experience any kind of ATV off roading, trail riding, or whatever. However - I'm wanting to get into trikes/ATV's because of the capabilities. I've been involved with speed for most of my life (yes, all 19 years of it) being around boats, cars, you name it (except ATV's) and I've seen it. Anyway - back on track.
Day before yesterday a door was opened for me. I was GIVEN a 1986 Kawasaki 250 Tecate engine. It needs rebuilding, and, well hell, I've decided to do it. I hope this to turn into a project 3wheeler soon, but am in need of a frame and yada yada. Because all I've got - is an engine.
I've been told it was the strongest motor on a trike and what not, but I know how opinions are (there like the hole, everyone's got one).
Anywho - I'm really just posting this to find out as much info as I can on this. I've searched, gotten spec's and what not, but no real feedback about the engine. Could someone please tell me that this is a good engine (without lying) and that I could do something with this. I've got the engine, carb, exhaust etc., without the CDI box.
All I know of the engine is that it has a wiesco (sp?) piston and has been re-sleeved 5 over. Go ahead and laugh - probably said something wrong. O yes, its also got some kind of DG exhaust?
I'm hoping to do some light modifications on this, but don't want it to be ungodly unsafe. I want to have fun, and go fast, but don't feel the need to go through injuries from it doing it.
Sorry so long - Thanks for all the help in advance -
Corey.
