identify my motor

[jeepinxj]

I just bought a Honda big red 85'. I noticed my motor is black and yes could be painted but wanted to see if it is original. I know it could be a sx motor thats the same but just curious. The motor vin is te04e6024914. Any help is appreciated.

Te04e 6000001~ = 1986

Ok thanks monroemike! So looks like its not original then the tag on the framr says 1985.

Here's some manuals, if you have not found them yet.

Thank you very much that im sure will come in handy. Are the 85 and 86 motors the same? I know the carbs are not so now to figure out which carb i have.

Any other input?
