Some help with restoring a 1985 Honda 110 Atc

[saturnthegiant]

Take my advice and get a Clymer manual to go with your service manual. Seems to me the Clymer's are more detailed with more photos. The service manuals are very general. You should be able to find parts pretty easily.

Also you might keep an eye out on Craigslist for a running trike in your area....you can usually get a running trike for pretty cheap. I was like you at first, i bought a non-running trike and was gonna fix it, but in the meantime i had very little cash and was getting to do no riding, so i watched Craigslist and got a nice little 125M for $300 and a little later i got a really good running 200E for $500, the guy came down from his original price of $900. If you show up with cash you more than likely will get a good deal. Most of the time people aren't busting down the door wanting to buy trikes, most people are crazy about quads!!!!

Yeah lol. I agree quads are good but trikes are better. Back to the subjject!!

They don't got the owners manual, but they've got the shop manual. do you think that'd be okay?
And also, i've been lookin' through old photos and everything. I've noticed that my three wheeler while the frame may be that of a 85 110, the plastics, fuel tank and many other parts are not the same of that year and are of some difference. I hope this doesn't interfere with my restoration too much.

You need more than the owners manual if you want to restore it. I get all my shop manuals and parts manuals from them. They are reproductions of the original Honda manuals. Cost some but well worth it.

I could sell you a whole 110 threewheeler the same as that one.It just needs a motor rebuild because of lack of compression and you can ride it for 10 minuites and it dies.

What do you want for your 110? And where is Gulliver

[somekidwithanm4]

I don't know. I sent him a private message asking him about it too, but he hasn't replied. Like i mentioned above, this thing has had some tinkering probably and i knwo that it has a plethora of different atc year parts.

A little update on the 110:
I'm honestly thinking now that a manual might not be of much use to me as the facts is that the trike is less than 50% stock in my guess's. The only items i can tell are stock are the plastics, seat, frame and headlight. Some things i don't know if they're stock or not and somethings i know they're not stock period. I'll post a few newer photos in a sec with the trike mostly reasembled.

[somekidwithanm4]

Here they are.
The side view.

The engine and tranny i'm pretty sure the tranny's not even stock now.

The gas tank which i know is not stock. Anyone know what it's from?

The rear end

Frame label. The proof that at least the frame's an 85

Exaust.

[somekidwithanm4]

Does anyone recognize the designs on the gastank?

[somekidwithanm4]

Nvm about that last question. I've found out it's an ATC 90 motor. I know it's from 1970-1978 but i don't know the exact year. That would be why the wiring looked so wierd

[1985BigRed250ES]

the tank looks original with some kind of graphics on it. the exhaust looks stock. yeah I would say the wiring is kinda wierd looking. The motor looks like a 110 motor from a different year, but u can Identify the size of the engine by looking at the head on the left side of the motor, it should say 105cc. not sure what size the 90 motor is CC wise.

[somekidwithanm4]

Thx for the info Big Red. Also the engine says 89CC so like i said it is a 90 CC motor so now you know what 90 Cc motors say. Also what are some good tips with removing surface rust and good carborator rebuild tips.

[1985BigRed250ES]

I removed the surface rust on my 110 with a wire wheel on a drill. as far as the carb goes, I have put it in a gal can of carb cleaner and let it sit for about 30 mins and blew it out with compressed air and put a rebuild kit in it. It ran great til the spark plug hole stipped out and it has sat ever since then. As u know I am currently restoring my 110 and I forgot about the carb in the cleaner for two days and it turned my carb black<<not sure what caused it, but all of the passeges are clear and I got to put it back together and when I get the motor back, hopefully it will run great again.

[somekidwithanm4]

yeah we'll see. mine is sitting in carb cleaner right now as it got some rust in it from the tank. i think i'm gonna go buy a bottle of that evaporust and dump it in the tank cause the tank desperately needs it

Where in Utah are you? I have a 84 110 I'm thinking of parting out.
