Hey guys, just picked up an 85 200x and the only thing that seems to be wrong is it leaks a little bit of oil from the kickstarter. Any idea what the problem is? Old seal? trike is completely original from 85 so im guessing maybe some worn parts. Thanks for the input. Heres a link to the thread with the pictures on it, thanks to stoney http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?t=73807

Hard to say without a picture of that particular area. There is an oil seal there and that could be leaking, but there is also a gasket for the little cover that houses the 2 reversing gears for the kickstarter, that gasket is prone to leaking on a 200x. If it's that gasket that is leaking, some gasket sealer in conjunction with the gasket there will do just fine, you'll need to drain the oil first and clean it up real good though before applying some.
