Question about 82' 110cc - Question about 85' I could buy

**Lukeatc185** · 08-13-2009, 06:22 PM

you need the ohm meter. and the manual will tell you what the meter should read. i would use a compression test tool. there handy to have if you plan on working on any engine. and there not overly expensive for a tool. im not sure if the big red had a compression lever if it does dont use it pull it with the plug in. if its insanely hard to pull its got decent compression,

there is also a 1970 US90 on craigslist . says it needs a plug wire, new seat and carb cleaning. he wants 600

i like bigger trikes. i want to get a 70 and put a 110 in it soon. thats my next project when im done the 225dxk

if it had bad compression would it run real slow, or is there no way of knowing unless you test it. the more info im getting the lower my offer seems to be getting. lol

there would be some powerloss. if its really bad but there little to no smoke. its probably a gasket. or warped/cracked head. or valve seals can do it too. if it smokes its probably ring/piston/sleeve.

i mean he wanted 800 at first, and i offer 450 and he says ok but.... so i might go see it and lowball him even more. i wish i had more free cash right now, i'd just go buy that 200s and be done.

so best case scenario , i go see it and it doesnt smoke and once running it runs and drives like a champ. then would you still be worried about the internals?

BTW, is it rough on the tranny to pull it with a quad and drop it into gear like that?

i dont think its good for it. but it has a auto clutch people use downgearing to slow down often. its probably hard wear on the clutch pads.

For your 110 questions. That nipple on the side of the carb. is the gas over flow. When extra gas is accumulating in the carb., whether the float height is set wrong or there is a piece of debris blocking the float needle from closing all the way would cause that. How far do you have to tilt/rock it before it starts leaking, if it correct you should really have to have it sideways for it to leak. A hose is supposed to get routed towards the front of the engine by the pull starter, there is supposed to be a piece of plastic coated metal bent in like a U shape where the hoses for the carb. go.

As for the splined shaft next to the pull start with the N, there is actually supposed to be a red button with an arrow on it that points to N when you are in neutral. It's just a neutral indicator. I would take a Big Red 250 over a 200s anyday, its a much more comfortable ride.

thanks for the answers DZ. the black hose on the carb that runs down through a metal "U" is on the front of the carb though. if im sitting on the trike the nipple im talking about is pointed due left. the nipple with a hose that runs down through a metal loop is pointed straight ahead. anyway, thanks again. im gonna go load my camaro and head to the dirt track. hopefully the atc serves its purpose tonight !
