Hi everyone!
I just purchased my second 'big' three wheeler last night! I got it for $350. I need some help identifying what exactly it is. I know that it's a 1984 because of the EPA exhaust sticker says "this 1984 Yamaha blah".
I have no idea if it's a Tri-Moto or Tri-Zinger or what?
Here's some pictures:

After reviewing my old thread about it (before I bought it), a member Chopsaw (http://www.3wheelerworld.com/member.php/38209-Chopsaw) posted a picture of his:

I'm fairly sure that they are the exact same bike. His comments in my old thread were: "I bought a 84 200e Yamahauler that was sitting in a barn for 250 with
original title . Cleaned it up , dialed it in and flipped it for 600 . I liked it , but Bigred was jealous .
Go look , and if you're not sure take pics and ask here . I'd like to see it ."
Also, what's the difference between the 84 200e and just an 84 200? Electric start? Could I use an 84 YTM200 transmission (read below)?
Other information on the purchase:
-no electric start (not sure if it ever had one)
-the key is the size of a lawn mower key, I'm pretty sure he makeshifted it
-the key stays on 'on' and if you turn it to 'light' it will shut off. It will not go turn to 'off'
-I'm not sure what the neutral on/off indicator did/does, but it doesn't seem to take affect or do anything
-the headlight and taillight are not hooked up/functional
-I'm not sure if it has a battery, I'm still trying to get the seat off .-.
-the rear footbrake cable is gone
-the transmission seems to be 'jerking' in first gear. It will grind and have a popping noise all throughout every gear. I know this is a huge issue, and I was unaware of it at the time of purchase. It was midnight out and I didn't get to drive it for more than a minute, kind of just took the guy's word.
Any help and information would be much obliged!
EDIT: Here's a video of the transmission http://videobam.com/XFNZy
and here's some more pictures of the trike
