1983 Honda atc 185s three wheeler

NEVER HAD

Okay here is the one you have been looking for just in time for Christmas!! Complete new rebuild, and all new gaskets as well. Also many other new items already installed and others included in the sale that have not yet been installed. Full list below. I was trying to restore back to near new condition before I was disabled and now unable to finish. But is nearly there. Never raced or abused since we've owned it for nearly 16 years now. Never flipped or wrecked in the 15 years either. Always maintained regularly with regular oil changed and tune-ups. But I have been recently disabled and am now not able ride or finish tinkering with it, so I am going to try and sell it after owning over 15 years. Exterior body plastic and trike overall in very good condition for year. Only exterior issues are the seat has 2 tears in it and the left rear fender has been roughed up a little on the edge, see pics. But I have a new seat cover never installed that is included with this sale. Here is a list of the new items already replaced and installed. carburetor throttle cable cdi box spark plug Complete full gasket set Honda synthetic oil and entire engine cleaned to like new inside. all 3 tires have less than 50 miles on them both front and rear bulbs replaces, both lights were working fine new oem 2 stage air filter new oem gas cap (70+ bucks) valves adjusted new pull rope new piston and rings New fuel line The only problem is the pull rope will not extend out now and cannot figure how to remove slack in the new throttle cable. Not sure if I put the pull starter spring back in tight enough or what after taking it apart to re grease it and replace the rope. Other than that she is a beauty ready to ride! Was running perfect, and still shifting through the 5 gears with no known issues. This trike has automatic clutch so no clutching on the handle bar. Replaced the piston and rings after it started blowing smoke, and decided to give it a full gasket set as some of them were not in to good of shape, and while I had it apart noticed a lot of sludge so I cleaned the engine out inside as well and added all new synthetic Honda oil to keep everything like new. Replaced the carb and cdi box due to hard start as well as spark plug now fires up on first or second pull again every time.I still have the old original carb. as well if new owner wants it for free. Replaced the throttle cable due to a kink in the old one. Still have it if buyer wants they can have it also. Replaced the fuel cap as it was losing gas flow due to inner cap plugged somewhere over the years. Replaces the air filter as part of normal maintenance schedule. Replaced the pull rope as the old one broke, also re-greased everything inside to keep it slick and fully functional, but now it is stuck and I cannot work on it anymore. I also have 2 more like new tires, a new never opened tire tube, that I will include in the sale as well as 1 or 2 more new spark plugs for future maintenance. No extra charge! Just finished replacing everything up to the pull rope right before I was disabled. Cash only no checks Paypal accepted but buyer responsible for paying all fees and full payment due within 3 days I will deliver for a dollar loaded mile! Any other ?????? let me know. Ed I also have this for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this early.

Thanks all for looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Dec-11-11 at 21:02:13 PST, seller added the following information: I have been getting a lot of the same ????? since I posted this ad today. Alright lets be perfectly clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This 3 wheeler was running just fine before it started to blow smoke, and I tore it apart. I rebuilt it with the new piston and rings and then installed most other items listed as well but have not as of yet been able to restart after rebuilding and adding the other items as the pull rope which is the only way to start is not pulling out. I am no mechanic but I have been riding and maintaining this for almost 16 years now. I hope this clarifies everyone's ??????????? If not please feel free to email me anymore and I will post them with the answers to this ad. Thanks again for looking! On Dec-14-11 at 16:53:37 PST, seller added the following information:I just noticed something that might be interesting to any perspective buyers. I was in the garage trying to figure out anymore about the pull rope not extending, when all of a sudden it extended out, but not correctly, as to how it was prior to working on it and tearing it apart. I also noticed that the decompression valve cable where it connects to the pull rope assembly has a torn rubber end, I do not know if that would make a difference or not if the decompression valve was not working right either. Just want to declare everything that I noticed today. I am honest and am trying to figure it out but I am in too much pain to work on it anymore and besides I really do not know what I am doing, NO MECHANIC!!!!!!!!! Thanks all for bidding, Ed
