what to look for on a 200x purchase

[Daniel 250es]

I am going to look at a 1986 200x tonight. What problems should I look for?

Rusted out tank. Lower corners are most prone to rot out!

Check axle bearings front and rear . Pull the dipstick and check the oil level , give it a sniff to see if the motor smells burnt LOL . If its a runner listen to the top end for noises , knocking , ticking exc .

X2^. Also make sure it is infact an 86-7. They have a square tube frame, very easy to distinguish. If I had a peso for every mis-listed ATC I have seen.......... well....... I would have about 25 bucks. If this is for a full resto, keep in mind 90% of your money will be spent on the sweet white plastic. Good luck!!
