82 185S for a fly rod and reel!

[homebrew13]

One of my old co-workers is moving to Cali and didn't want to take his 185 with him. He says its in decent shape. good plastic needs seat cover and has some carb issues. He wanted 100 bucks but told me he would trade me for a spare cortland fly rod with reel and some flys. I'm gonna jump on it and go pick it up today. hopefully I can get it rolling with out dumping to much into it. would be a perfect trike for my wife and 12yr old boy to ride. I'll post some pics later when its home.:beer
anyone out there got a service manual for it on there computer? I seem to have all of the honda manuals except the 185 and the 125m

I have the Haynes manual that covers the small trikes and then has an extra chapter for the 185s/200. Here is the extra chapter. Right-click save as:

just went and picked her up today. she started first pull but would only idle. (thinking clogged main jet)brought her home tore apart the carb and the gas that came out looked like mudpuddle water, i couldn't believe it started with this crap. the tank is the culprit. i drained the gas and could not believe the amount of solids in the fuel there was even a nickel sized rock in the tank. the original owner said the tank stated leaking on the corner of tank and he fiberglassed it?
Any way went and hosed all the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* out of the tank went and bought some Heet and permium a 2 buck inline filter , adjusted the throttle cable and placed the slow jet at 1 1/2 turns out. fired right up and rips it. very torque son of a gun, kept pulling front tire up and sideways. it would 2 wheel real easy (that made me a little uneasy about my kids) but all i did was ride in circles in the front lawn and up/down the street. so far my parts list is this
Need: new tank, kill switch,front and rear brakes,seat cover,fix pull start rope,tail light bulb
