Greetings... I'm a newbie that just picked up a 1986 Honda 200x today. I traded a rough 1978 Suzuki RM50 (that I bought 2 months ago for 100.00) for the Honda straight up, so I'm not sure who has the better end of the deal right now, lol. The guy I got it from has had it since it was new and it looks fairly nice.
I didn't plan on owning this Honda, but I needed something to ride along with my son, who rides a 2003 Kawasaki KX65. I originally bought the Suzuki RM50 for him, but it just needed too much work. So instead, I found the KX65 and it's been great... Except that I'm stuck at home base screaming at him across the pasture "Shift into 3rd!!!"
So in my eyes, I have a 100.00 Honda 3 wheeler that I dreamed of when I was in Junior High, and I don't even know if it runs.
I'll be looking for suggestions on how to deal with a crankcase gasket leak... Sounds like that could be a "fun" job, lol. I've never rebuilt an engine, but I have friends who have and there's always youtube, repair manuals, and of course you guys. Like I said, I'm into this thing for a 100.00 so I'm more apt to take some risks.
I look forward to hearing from y'all!
