the thing needs the carb cleaned, it runs fine with the choke knob slightly pulled. and the new front tire leaks. Not sure if its a bead leak or valve stem.
lastly am I asking too much for the trike? I got like 1 call locally. If anyone thinks Im overpricing it, whats a real world price for a 200 big red? jim

I agree, not overpriced. You should see some of the prices people are asking for junk non-running trikes on local classifieds in my area.:crazy: I definately wouldn't take much less than what you are asking.

I buy them not running, tinker with it, with the advice from the folks here. Get them running and sell them for a little profit. Not trying to make a killing. I sold my last real nice 110 for $200. only thing missing on it was a headlight. Ive got a total of about $320 into the big red. But I did take the chance on buying it not running or rolling. So I didnt know if the motor, tranny or diff was any good. jim

Its funny, Ive got 5 trikes right now. not one of them ran when I brought them home. Except the 250R which I paid the most for $350 and its got a bad 2nd gear. jim

Bad time of year to sell anything. Your price is good

ive posted a bunch of chevelle stuff on craigslist and not getting any interest at all. A year ago or so, almost anything from a chevelle, especially 4 speed parts would have sold in a day. I posted a atc70 for 400 locally and got 1 email on it. I decided for what I have into it, I may as well keep it. jim
