another what was thinking purchase.

[Jim mac]

I've been looking for a 200x to make a auto x. guy at a yard sale had one for sale. its a total pile. he's dropping it off in a few.
pros. both brakes work
engine has good compression when kicking it
has good front wheel but tires junk.
tank is good and has a cap but painted
bearings seems good
wiring all there
original carb
handlebar controls all look good
the bad. some quad rear tires and hubs
no plastics
home made seat pan with factory brackets
no airbox or boot
no headlight
rigged exhaust.
if I get a 200x I'm going to want clean plastics and a new seat.
pics coming tomorrow. jim

That rear rack looks like it's off of an early-mid 90's Polaris 350L or 400L

ETA: Nevermind, I was wrong....

Looks like a diamond in the rough. I love those congrats

it had a weak spark last night. can't get a spark today, the harness is a mess. extra wires been added for the lights. pulse generator is at 100 ohms, stator was at 600 ohms. tried a couple different coils. jim

It's a good start! You'll have it running in no time. I would love to find one and build an autoX but they are seldom found here nowadays.
Take care

I went and watched mrcbuilds video again, double checked the electronics and changed the pulse generator. checking spark with 2 new ngk plugs and didn't see a spark. stuck the old champion plug on the wire and saw a spark. stuck it in the motor and it fired right up!. jim

[Jim mac]

installed a petcock in the tank, so carb has fresh gas. installed a new plug just to see and it started right up!
now to start a list and hit eBay. bolt on air cleaner, front tire and I can ride the trike. jim

Looks like a great start. I can't find a decent 200X within a reasonable distance. I don't have spare days to spend driving to get a good one.

[Jim mac]

2 months ago there was a decent looking 200x for $1500. wife said if I wanted it, here's $1300 you pay the rest or negotiate it to 1300 bucks. well the trike sold before I could get it. So this will be the next best thing.
running 200x $200 bucks
will order a new front tire and air filter for 100 bucks?
I've got new 22x11x8s on 200s wheels and hubs
so I may come out ahead with this trike. jim

Been there before, went trough the whole harness and replaced more than i needed, just to realize the plug was bad.

[Jim mac]

little progress, picking up a factory exhaust this afternoon to replace what looks like a china 110 quad exhaust on the thing. trikes loaded into the truck so I can run it to the dmv Tuesday for a bonded title. Then I can start swapping parts. I can't see dumping money into it until name is on the title. jim
