    been awhile. new to me trike

    Been about 2 years? When I dragged my 66 chevelle project home I sold 4 running 110 projects and a running 70 project. Plus a 200s and a 200es. Basically sold my hoard of projects but kept the 2 85 atc70's and 110.
    So today while visiting my mom out of town I see a 84 200s and a 125m for 300. The 125m has bad tires seat etc. I decided to buy the 200s just because I was bored. Tires pumped up. Tank has rust inside, headlights gone. Front fender is broke. Got it home, found the throttle cables froze, took the top of the carb off squirted some carb cleaner, pulls and it runs.
    Ordered a new cable, brake levers and a headlight. Will pull the carb and clean it the week.
    The trikes not pretty, but has a K&N Filter and a cobra exhaust. Paid 150 to the trike (probably overpaid) 50 bucks for the cable levers and headlight.
    Will get a pic or two later. For the guys that's been around here, the pic won't have the the wheeler in the back of my 68 el camino. We sold that last year. Jim

    I didn't have room in the truck. probably could go back and get it for 100 bucks.
    went out and tinkered with it tonight. cut the frozen throttle cable just to get the slide to work. cleaned the carb and air filter. it runs pretty good. ordered a throttle cable, 2 brake levers, and a original headlight to replace the lawn tractor light on it now.
    I'll try to upload a pic. I do have a seat that's not in the picture. jim

    Not too shabby. Funny how you guys have to deal with sun fading down there, while up here on the Pacific Coast we have to deal with rust! ha ha

    ended up installing new brake levers, throttle cable and it runs great, so 2 days later I sold it.
    went back and picked up the 84 125m. came with the certificate of origin, original receipt, manual, key. it's got sun faded plastics, needs a seat cover and a lever to foot lever brake cable. it also has 3 flat tires, but I pulled the plug and grounded it, pulled the cord and it's got spark.
    So time to clean the carb, and see how it runs. jim
