You stole that. Good job!

put the ring in the cylinder and measured. 024 gap the 2nd ring looked larger and the oil rings basically had no spring tension. the good news, all the bits and pieces looks to be packaged in the box. jim

I have so much going on in life and busy work that I couldn't go after it. I texted it to you as we have to keep an eye out for each other in this hobby. I was so glad you could grab it! Its a deal! You have to keep me updated on that build. I did score some ITP 8x8 4/110 +3/5 and 400ex hubs of Offerup this weekend. I am excited by that to widen my track.
went and honed the cylinder, tore down the heads, lapped the valves, waiting for the seals to show up so I can put the head back together. pulled the oil rings off the piston and they almost fell thru the cylinder. jim

you know you've been around this stuff too long when you buy a 300 dollar basket case, and you put new rings on the piston and you bolt it all back together in a hour and you don't have any left over parts! and the crazy thing, I didn't take it apart! it was bought with a box of parts!
I'm thinking I'm over the worst of this covid so if all goes well, I'll be bolting the motor back into the trike tomorrow. jim

here's a pic of the latest trike.
300 for the basket case
100 for gas and snacks to buy it 6hrs drive
75 rings, gaskets, hone
25 front master cylinder
It came with a headlight and guard, I swapped the headlight over to my other 200x that has a title.
trike came with 2 8 inch and 2 9 inch rims.
I've got 2 new 20x11x9 tires I'm going to install on it. right now there's 1 8 and 1 9 inch tire.
took it for a spin this morning, shifts good, both brakes works. Also has a super Trapp exh.
one other thing, I have to find my thumb throttle and get rid of the twist throttle.
but I'm happy to have a running 200x for 500 bucks. jim

I would be too!
The supertrapp alone is worth $200 - such a good buy
I'm glad you sent me the ad for this trike. if I didn't have the day off that Wednesday, I wouldn't have bothered to make the call. I sent a pic and video to the lady that sold it, she was happy to hear it's driving. jim

a little followup. trike #1 is giving me intermittent spark issues. going to buy a new champion plug tomorrow. those ebay ngk plugs aren't firing consistently, the used champion plug sparks decent.
the 2nd 200x runs and starts fine all the time so I had a little time off this afternoon and went and got the paperwork for a bonded title. Going to put all the nice parts on trike 2, tires, plastics, headlight, seat tail light etc.
trike 1? I've checked stuff, going to try the plug then if it still has issues, ill replace the stator. If the trike makes mad enough, there's a running 185s I can use to turn the 200x into a auto x. jim

I posted a follow up in another post. turned out to be a weak stator, installed a new stator and it's running fine now! So 2 titled 84 200x trikes running. I used 20-11x9 rear tires on one and 22-11x8 on the second with aluminum wheels. when I get the cars moved out of the way, I'll get pics of them together. jim

update. trike 2, the one that was a basketcase, took it out for its maiden voyage today. put about a hour seat time and it worked great. it's got a twist throttle which I really didn't like but we rode dirt roads so it wasn't bad. carb doesn't have a smooth idle, ive got a 223 cycle rebuild kit to install. jim
