1982 185s repair manual

[thomic1]

Hey all;

First post and all :Bounce, as always with a new purchase the first thing you seek to get is the repair manual. Coincidentally, I also happen to be looking for such an object and hope to find one here first before I am forced to buy one and (god forbid) be the first one on this site to offer it up to my fellow man...
I 'do' have the owners manual if ne1 wants it in pdf format; just pm me or email me with your request. I look forward towards a rewarding experience with you all.

:beer Wow, that was fast!!! I've been using the search option to discover this manual for so long, but never finding (as you've seen) for the actual model. the links are great! I just got my first trike from craigslist offering up some of my scuba gear for it: now that I live in the desert not much water around ;). Unfortunately, the previous owner didn't know 'how' to take care of the machine, and after a preliminary TLC session with my trike, it's beginning to smoke after the 8 oz of oil (BLACK!!!!) I exchanged for a new 1.3 qts of new blood. From what I've read from this site already I believe this to be a sign of blown out o-rings from riding it with "low oil"... I've had her for about a week (this Sunday) and have a brand new project to restore/rebuild her to awesome potential!!! So I will draw upon your wisdom for this project and hope to report to you all the progress and finished product in hopes of helping the next person. Thanks for the welcome and help already. I look forward to the future with you all...
