**UPDATE** I found out what was causing the issue. Prior to this i took off the chain guard when i was tinkering with it and that was the reason why, Sorry for bugging everyone.
Well, some prior info for you knowledge hungry people.
When I got my 200x (1986) I rode it for maybe 15 minutes then (because I love tinkering) I changed the oil, inspected the air filter (uni foam) and cleaned the plug. after putting roughly 1.5 hours of riding time on it I noticed some oily stuff on the chain and the skid plate and that general area, at the time I really didnt think to much of it for some reason. Well another half hour of ride time when a friend and I went down the road (him on his doodlebug) I let him drive it through some yard to learn how.
When I hoped on it just for fun I noticed it started making a weird noise (very faintly) so I stoped and thought "okay, now I will check the oil". So I did and there was hardly any in it, I mean slightly below the low line and there was oil all over the left side of the engine and all over skid plate and that general area. Well i didnt start the thing at all after that and had my friend drive his doodlebug back to my house and get his truck. After getting it back to my house we washed her up and drained what was left of the oil and refilled it with "Mobile 1 10w-40 4 stroke wet clutch style" oil (is that good for it?). Then I got a rag and wiped that side of the engine all pretty like and started her up after 2 minutes of kicking and changing the plug.
Now i can physically see the oil coming out of this little spot right above the engine sprocket where the wires to what im pretty sure is the stator are. Is this simply a gasket fix because I have changed the gasket in this area on my 185s no problem. I really hope that nothing is bad inside the engine because I spent a lot of money on this trike.
