VIN help

[Anglin_Texas]

HI, I got a Honda and not real sure what it is exactly...(given to me.) From what i can gather on the sticker it says (i think) ATC? and then 183S 1982
the VIN on the frame is JH3TB0100CC244442 It's pull start, chain drive, square headlight... that's about all i know... and it's missing the IGN. coil.. where can i find one of these? Also I have a chance to get another for $100. needs carb work... good deal? Thanks for any and all help.

Welcome to 3 Wheeler World! Yes, you have a 1982 Honda atc 185s. You can post an add in the classifieds for the ignition coil, Im sure someone would have one.

Oh, and for $100 I would pick up the other one as long as its complete.

could be 185... the sticker is hard to read. mean it's a 200? Thanks for a quick reply!

[Anglin_Texas]

OK.. yeah there other one is in fairly good condition. brother and law got it from a friend and needs money now. Thanks for all the help.

Nope the 185 is not the same as the 200, close but different. Here is the vin chart that someone posted before.

i would prolly buy it for 100 bux

OK.. thanks for all the help.. seems like a great bunch of folks and a great forum so far! was told the other one is a 200 but who knows. Which one is "better" if either?

[cragster]

i hear there almost the same...the engine sizes are sooo close hat they cant be diferent.

If its an older 200 (like 81 or 82) I think most if not all of those models had 25 inch tires instead of 22's. They were more of the "utility" ATC where the 185 was the "sport" model, kinda.

OK, thanks... Not sure what tires the other one is yet, but the 185 has 25X12X9 on it now.
