Neat little thing about the 185cc and 200cc 3wheelers, the engines share the top end and crankshaft with the XL and XR 185cc and 200cc motorcycles, with only one significant difference. If you look up Horsepower numbers you'll see that the motorcycles put out almost 2× the powers as the same displacement 3 wheelers. The motorcycles came with a flat top piston and a lot more compression than the 3 wheelers have with the dished piston they were equipped with. If you are going to do a top end overhaul, order the piston and ring kit for the appropriate displacement motorcycle and that 3 wheeler will come to life.

In the early 90's my dad bought a 200 from a guy who said he had rebuild the engine with an old bike he had and it was a rocket. Well, compared to my 110. Dad kept it about a month and sold it. Said it wasn't fit for working. Wish I had it today.

Working on everything from chainsaws and weedeaters to cars, trucks, and tractors, but I always keep my eyes open when I'm on a farm or ranch. Seems like every farm or ranch will have at least a couple old ATVs, and a few dirtbikes/ enduros that have been sitting for years. 9 times out of 10 if I knock a couple bucks off what I was gonna charge for whatever I'm there to fix they will let me haul off one or more of there ATVs or bikes. I have managed to collect a lot of my stuff this way.

He eliminated all bog and popping with abrupt throttle changes. I sometimes tolerate a little bit in order to run cleaner and save fuel when steadier on the throttle, though one has to mind overheating too when running lean. I also find it very interesting that OEM carbs are so much better on these than aftermarket carbs when I find the opposite is so often true of small engines because the OEM carbs are difficult or impossible to adjust the mixture due to emission regs while some aftermarket carbs appear to be exempt, and if you think I am adjusting mixture too lean, just look at the emission mandated fixed mixtures! Though I suppose these 3 wheelers predate the small engine emission regs.

He should also have used the wax option at the car wash, which not only shines this stuff, but is wonderful at preventing corrosion and helps lubricate cables and stuff, especially when these machines get rained on. I also would have tested the tank before putting the seat on.

If I learned anything about these small engines, is that you definetly need to put the air filter in, in order to have a good idle. I’ve been tuning the carb for hours without luck until I decided to try putting a new air filter in the box. It stopped bogging down when revving like magic!

I always figured maybe these engines were just particular with vacuum?

I havent been too hard on it or anything like that since ive had it since i was always tought to take care of my stuff but a cousin or someone of mine had it before i did and sunk it in a river multiple times and beat the hell out of it and it ended up sitting in the top of a barn for like 15 years. It burns a little oil (but it burns less and less after i got it and started using it), has no headlight, brakes, and the right wheel wobbles cuz a tierod or something is shot, it had no key so me and dad hooked the killswich to the pullstart somehow to get it to run and it works great (thr electric start still technically worka though). But even though it is old and did not have an easy life before i got it it does pretty good for what it is. We use it sometimes to tow a little trailer with wood on it. Even the reverse works.

Quick tip from a small engine guy. I put the Gunk brand carburetor cleaner in a brake lamp. Itll help with rebuilding carbys. Strip down the carb, do an initial clean and spray it down the the brake lamp, let her sit for like 30 min, then into the ultra sonic. Then rebuild. Also that brake lamp is great to spray down an engine before a power wash and itll help clean the inside of fuel tanks before a rust remover is added! love how your channel has grown and keep at it buddy!!

Absolutely LOVE old Honda's. Bought a 1983 Honda 110 off a guy who bought it new for his kids... And NEVER maintained it. It had sat for probably 10 years before we got it, hadn't been started or ran in that long. Tank was empty so it was in good shape still, changed the oil, changed the spark plug and dropped fresh gas in the tank. Thing fired right up, ran a little rough but didn't even hesitate. Ran it for two years after adjusting the carb to have it run better, ran great only ended up losing it because my idiotic uncle wrecked the dang thing and not only totaled it but basically dropped it down a mini cliff that we couldn't find a way to recover it.

Wow, The red Honda 3 wheeler brought back a lot of memories. Seems like that the Feds got involved in getting the 3 wheelers banned from being sold due to a lot of service accidents. During the early 1970s near Georgetown,Ky there used to be a motorcycle race track that had a full slate of racing during the weekends that also had 3 wheel class racing in addition to the dirt bike racing. It was really cool to see those 3 wheeled cycles hang those corners usually with one of the three wheels off of the track. The Honda XR-75s dirt bikes back then were tough as nails and would absolutely scream around the track. Thanks for your great video, Kevin & Mook.

The last time I rode a 3 wheeler was in 1985. My wife and I were at her bosses ranch in Custer South Dakota. I was in the Air Force and was out on the flight line year round. I was well weathered and acclimated to all sort of temps. So it's August mid 90s and I'm having a blast riding this big three wheeler and I start not feeling so good. By the time I got back to the house I was in full blown heat stroke. So here I am, a tough all weather guy flat on his back on a couch inside while everyone else is having fun. I guess the difference was instead of busting my rump fixing jets I was having fun instead. Gee, can't have nothing. LOL! Seeing that Big Red certainly brought back memories all right. Cheers Terry

Look up throttle shaft repair bushings..... The drill bit and bushing kit has saved so many original Holleys and quadrajetz....for me anyway. As soon as you fix the massive vacuum leak the idle screws actually work. I hope this comes in handy for ya, because oreily and autozone both screw up more carbs than they save.

What a throwback, I had one of these in my teen years. I've always regretted that I wasn't good enough to know how to fix it (left the gas line open over winter, it seized up.. brute force broke the piece that connected the cable to the carb and that was where I threw in the towel. Kinda embarrassing to think about these days considering I've rebuilt tons of carburetors since) and it went to someone who knew how, but these days I could've totally fixed it.. but I'll settle for watching you fix one. Those things are damn near unkillable, those are classic Honda engines that just will not die.

Honda originally started the ATC in 1970 with the US90s and they were mainly made for trail riding and beboping around. Then in 1980 they came out with the ATC200 which was a stripped big red as stated in the video. Along with the 200 came the 185. Then in 1982 they released the ATC200E with the name “big red” used for the first time. In 1983 The 185 got a slightly smaller frame now called the 185S and front suspension. The big red stayed the same except for the decals changing. In 84 the 200s came out (a 185s with a 200 motor instead) and the big red got shaft drive as well, the 185 was still manufactured the same as in 83. In 85 we see the split between Honda incorporating 250 engines into their “big red” name and a subsequent other model the “SX”. During all of this time 110’s and 125’s were produced although personally out of the 12 ATCs I’ve owned I’ve only had 1 125M and the trans went out on it. I’m sure there’s more knowledgeable people on these things than I but hey, now ya know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mook's machine is basically when they took the 86-87 125 m and made it a four-wheel version of it when they quit building the three wheelers. I have an 86 125 m and I found it's a bit of a unicorn when it comes to getting parts for, folks call it the little big red. A 125 with an upright style motor, reverse and low range. A good tank is impossible to find for it. Mine is rusted right through the bottom in multiple places and I'm running a mid-80s 110 tank held on with a zip tie. It would fit right in with your channel. 😎 One of my favorite videos was you and John getting those things running and riding through the Frozen riverbed last year.

I love the 3 wheeler content. I've got a 83 200e, a 85 250 big red, a 84 200es, a 84 200x, and a 85 350x. They are such a blast to ride as long as you take the time to actually learn how to ride it and not try and pretend it's a 4 wheeler or dirt bike

I recently moved into an old farm and I have one of these in various pieces in the barn for rebuilding during the summer, and I am jealous, even mine in parts as a project is worth up to 10x what you paid for yours over here. Very informative as to what the different models are. Good to see how the carb rebuild goes, having been sat 10+ yrs I am sure that will be an early job for me, and being a diesel guy small carbs are a mystery to me. Seeing the fun you have with it on the end just makes me more determined to get it done, although I hope I don't need many parts as international shipping will be a killer

You actually are working on something I know really well. The biggest issues I have seen with them is the ECM. The last one that I worked on didn't have fenders so I took the rear fenders off an older Craftsman mower, and they worked really well

I took 2 old Cub Cadet riding mower rear fender/running board assemblies and with some adaptation used them for front and rear bodywork on a 4 wheel ATV. Along with a cut down pushbar and grill guard of an old 4WD project complete with PIAA spotlights. Used an old steel 5 gallon removable style boat fuel tank. I think that monster is probably 200 lbs heavier than it was with plastic bodywork and it could use a lot bigger brakes but that weight will bust through bushes and brushy areas with ease and no more broken plastic fenders when you "bump" into things on the trail.

I had a '85 "Big Red" that my dad helped my buy back in '87 when I was like 13 years old. We had matching "Big Red's". We rode the crap out of them all around our property and various trails in the norther part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Then they sat parked through the mid to late 90's. I used 2 to make 1 runner in the early 2000's. I kept that going until about 6 years ago. By that time, it needed a complete overhaul, and family/kids didn't allow me the time to do that. So I sold both of them. Wonder where they're at now....? What stupid good memories I have of me and my dad and other friends beating the crap out of them, and they just kept on going!

try a product called "red cote" to seal your tank. Best stuff out there and a can goes a long way (can use on many tanks). A youtuber that has a channel called "Taryl fixes all" has a couple vids of him using it and the stuff is bangin'
