Jusepy82 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hello friends , so I decided to get my 84 honda atc 200 a big sister , although she is a bit sick at the moment. I brought the 200 and got it going well but decided I needed another trike in my life. Sooo I brought the 250es from a guy up by Horopito car museum. Got it for a steal but boy it's a big job. frame rusted by foot pegs, motor not running , massive oil leak from left hand side cover . I have fixed the side cover gasket and also had the motor running now. I put the 250 up on stands tonight so I could make this build thread. So far I've brought a second hand CDI for it , brought another rear rack and fixed the wiring and repaired the wiring behind the kill switch. The previous owner couldn't get it running. I plan to get it purring , then strip it and repair the frame. cheers. Sorry bout the novel. top bike is the 200es that hoons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyfive Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I probably don't need the frame of this one I've picked up, but I'd probably want to keep mostly everything else that isn't rooted on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thanks man , What sort of condition is it in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 From memory its a bit scabby, but not rusted through, will try spend a minute on it this weekend and grab a few pictures/start the dismantling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Tonight I had a look into the carb over fueling as I had to drill out the slow jet as it was blocked solid. I ended up drilling it out but I think its fucked now as its pouring fuel out the back of the carb. So I disassembled the card , ready for when I buy a carb kit for her. I thought I'd look into the wheel bearing play on the left hand rear wheel. Took the castle nut off, which was loose, had a quick look at the splines of the hub. They looked ok, so I tried to crank up the castle nut to no avail. The split pin wouldnt fit through the hole as it's not wound on enough. I removed the hub again and had a look at the wheel bearings and it seemed they wernt pressed into the axle tube enough. So I punched out the bearings and cleaned it all up , what a mess ! Anyways reassembly another night as I'm dangerously close to too many beersies for this kind of mechanical work. Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 @johnnyfiveyou dont happen to have rear brake assembly spare too lol. Noticed tonight mine have seem to be missing. Yer everything:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Ooh, that's right, I was supposed to get into shed and look at this thing. The foot lever and cable is missing, I assume everything inside the drum is still there, though I think it's missing it's outer water shield thingo. Will have a look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 This frame seems solid enough, I'd better check it's not better than mine hah! A little bit scabby paint but not chunks falling off or anything. Someone's done a bit of a hate crime on the RH peg mount and put bigger bolts through with nuts, unclear why. I'd like to hold onto the pegs probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 You'd probably have to come get it though or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Where abouts are you @johnnyfive ? How much are you after for the frame And the brake setup? That box section around the foot pegs is where mine has rusted out . Also check your swing arms underneath that towing hitch as mine has rusted through behind it.

johnnyfive Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hopefully I can make one decent diff out of these two. The swingarms are a little different though. Not really after much for those bits, if they're of use to you, they're yours, a rectangle of cheap cans? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusepy82 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 You SIR are a gentleman and a scholar !!! The parts will be greatly appreciated ! Im not looking forward to taking my swingarm off as it pretty rusty where the through mounting bolt goes in. Ill pm you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
