Over the last couple of months - my '84 200es has been driving me crazy. Here's what's happening. One day it will start and run with no issues. Cold start with the touch of the electric starter or one slight pull of the starter rope. Runs great all day. The next day it will not start (cold start). After numerous attempts it will finally start. Run great for a long time and then stall out - almost like it is running out of gas. New petcock and filter was installed this spring. Next day - again no issues - will run great all day. For example - yesterday it started fine, went for a 2 mile drive from home. Cruising along about one hour into the ride, in 4th, it stalled out. Started easily - idled great, put it into first, lightly applied throttle and it would stall. Over and over again, this happened. It would only keep running and move if I did not get on the trike. Therefore to get home I had to walk beside it and feather the throttle. As soon as there was a load (me - ) on the trike - it would stall when trying to go from a stand still. Today went into the garage - bumped the starter button and she fired right up. Drove down the street numerous times and you guessed it - no problems.
Your opinions appreciated. Is this a carb or electrical issue??? Maybe the clutch??? (I have it adjusted as per the owner's manual) Could there be a problem with the coil?? I have been stranded a couple of times because of this intermittent problem - but I will never get rid of her.. Anyone else had similar problems with their Honda ATC???
Thanks in advance. BK3
