Recoil Starters

[HondaManr]

Hey guys,

Just wondering does a 83 ATC 200E recoil work for an 82 ATC 200.
i am looking for recoils, just screwed mine up.
im not very great at putting the spring back either.

It should work as they have the same motor.

[HondaManr]

ok thanks.
how about with all the 200's

Wrong, wrong, wrong!! 200e pullstarters are different. The motors are not the same, simular yes, but same NO.

These machines have pull starters that will work with each other.

hmm..

200E recoils should work on all those other bikes listed, I used to have one on my old 200s, plus theres a 200 starter on my dads 82 200E, so yes, they will work, you will just lose your auto decompression.

Okay, then what is the difference in an 82 200 and an 83 200e motor???

Did you even read your own post there Howdy???

To the original poster, what I first stated is correct. The 1982 atc200 and 1983 atc200e have the SAME motor. The 200s is a little different but uses the same pull starter. I have two 200e big reds and a 200s and their pull starters all interchange.

Does a atc200 have Hi/LO sub tranny? NOPE!
How about electric start ( from the factory )? NOPE
How about a factory stator for charging a battery ( from the factory )? NOPE
Shall I go on?

Are you sure your not confusing the 200 with a 185??? I thought the 1982 Honda ATC200 DID have the hi/lo tranny???

[Nick_R_23]

I think the point is that the recoils will still interchange, the Hi/Lo, electric start, and different stator make no difference, you can still use a 200E pull start on any other 200/185.

Well I stand corrected. According to the Specs page here, honda first made the 200E in 1982. So the atc200 and atc200e do NOT have the same motor, though the pull starters are the same. Hey, I can admit when I'm wrong.:D

I can admit when I am wrong, but I am not wrong on the fact that they are different. But if you insist on saying they are the same, then so be it. I won't waste anymore of my time in this thread.

[zoomerman]

i know for a fact that they i different. all take pics tonight

[HondaManr]

Confusing, confusing...
but thanks guys...

[GeniusBlock]

maybe completely off but fyi, I have an 82 200E and an 84 200ES...recoil on the 200E was in good shape...wanted it on the shaft drive...no worky.

[Custom200]

The 200e wont work on the 200s. the 200s have an allumium piece inside of the case with three little pieces that engage to catch to turn over hte motor. The 200e has one tooth to cath and the inside disc is plastic. To my knowledge it wont work.

[HondaManr]

ok thanks, just so you guys know,
i have an 1982 ATC 200

[Nick_R_23]

Ok people, listen up. THE 200E and ATC200 STARTERS WILL INTERCHANGE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I used the 200 starter on my 200E before I got the 200E pullstarter fixed, and then used the 200E starter on my 200 when it was broke for a while. The only difference between the 2 is that the 200 starter has a hole in the top for if you want to use the automatic decompression. Again, THEY WILL BOTH INTERCHANGE 100%
