Hello everybody,
I just picked up a new to me Honda trike, dirt cheap. The owner thought it was a 200s, but the engine says 180cm, so it must be a 185s, probably 82-82. I haven't verified the VIN yet.
The trike is rough. Its been sitting for quite a while in the central Oregon elements. The cool thing about this 185s is that it's got a full aftermarket suspension system on it. I've identified the manufacturer to be PK racing.
I am not sure if I should start investing the time to fix it up, or if I should offer it to somebody who has fewer unfinished projects than I do, and $$ to invest. It will probably take quite a bit of work to sort out. As of yesterday, the engine does not have spark, but the compression feels quite high, almost as if the motor has been Powrol'ed or something. Its really hard to pull over without the decompression release. The original gas tank is dented and rusty inside, the original plastics and seat are trashed, the chain is rusty, etc. , and the list goes on. Its really a killer old trike, just needs a ton of love. I'll try to post some pics in a day or two.
I just picked up a few necessities to hopefully get some spark. I'll start checking connections, and other basics soon. I'm sure the motor will run if I can get spark.
