My name is Jamie. I live in Western Ky. My buddy gave me a 1984 200es honda. We have some pretty good trails around here to ride. I got the 200es running very easy after it had set for over 5 years. It ran great until i got stupid and tried a hole that buried a 4 wheeler just a few minutes before i tried it. Well lets just say it was a little to deep. So now it smokes like a frirght train. So i went out and found me another big red to ride and its a 1983 200. It had been sitting for years. I took it home and it runs to. The only problem is that the front forks is shot and it does not have rear brakes or reverse. I hope to get the running engine on the 1984 frame before this weekend.

ouch!
Was it real hot when it got dunked?
If it still has good compression, we can all hope that the muffler packing is still soaked and blowing steam.

You obviously changed the oils?

What color is the smoke?

x2 crucial questions!



welcome, maybe you can salvage the motor in the 200es if it is damaged.
