    New Big Red guy from Ky.

    I have ridden atc's and atv's for about 25 years now. I started out putting a bazillion miles on a Honda 185s. Then a 200s. Then I went into the atv market and aqquired and TRX 300 and a Foreman 400. I always wanted a Big Red but never really found one close by when I had the money to spend. I recently got a 1985 Big Red for $200. It is mostly complete, missing the headlight and side covers. Everything else is there. It sat for a long time in a guys garage with no gas in the top 1/3 of it. So the bottom 2/3 of the tank look like new and the top 1/3 has some rust. The tank has a small dent on the right side but NO visible rust anywhere on the bottom or underneath. I am looking forward to getting this thing running and using it. I found this site while I was doing an online search for the 1985 Honda 250ES wiring diagram. I found one on here that says 1985-86 on it. Not sure if the 85 is different or not.

    the only difference i seen is the 85 models have a round 6 pole plug for the cdi they are hard to find but you can buy a china sqaure plug 6 pole cdi its under gy6 pit bike cdi the wires are the same color code so easy to install

    Welcome to 3ww Scotty. Try not to dig up too many 6 year old threads.

    Whoa, I didn't catch that!
    I skimmed through, and thought I was replying to the OP.
    I guess I was, just a few years too late.
