I figuered out whats better than a 3 wheeler...
a FREE 3 wheeler. one of the guys in my club droped off a free 81 atc185 to my house the other day, been sitting in his house for a long time, he got it off some old man who oned it since new and was gonna try and resell it, but didnt want to bother with cleaning it up, so I ended up with it.
well I got it fired up with a spare carb and gastank I had sitting in my garage. well it pretty much fired up first pull with the choke off. took it for a little spin, shifted better than any other atc185 ive had. no cam chain noise, no other weird noises.
pretty much just gotta go through it and lube all the cables and adjust all the brakes and chain.
the only part I am having problems with is the fuel tap, it's pretty clped out. I notice it's rivited. does anyone make a kit with all the replacement gaskets and you just tap and screw the rivit holes? or are they pretty resonable from dealer or is there an aftermarket tap?
thanks
