Gonna pop in here as I'm watching you take the engine off and say I'm guessing you've just got to much lash in your valves. Those two caps on top of the head are there for easy-ish adjustment of those dudes. Pretty bike man, I've had a couple 200s and to many other 80s Hondas to count. Cool stuff 👍🏻
No way!!! This may be the problem with my 200 trx! I’ll have to check it out. Had to put new springs in mine and never thought that would make a sound issue. Thanks man!!
Lol first took the engine part then the clutch? still didnt find it, finally the problem was so simple. Glad you got it sorted out man. Does not matter what u post bro. I'm always here and watching. You take care now. PS: my go pro did same trick, told me sd is corrupted and i need to format, i said f that, bought a sd card reader (cheat one like 4 bucks) and i got all my files back with that reader.
Haha thanks man!! It was a good bit of wasted time but oh well stuff happens, I’ve been loving your vids and a lot of others have been to! I bet it’s hard for you to even keep up with everything lol. I always appreciate you watching! I have a love hate relationship with my go pro!! Sometimes I just want to throw it in the lake!! Haha
I own two 85 big red 250 big reds and one trik had same sound couldn't figure it out same thing took motor apart clutch side man can belive it was cdi thks great video.
That thing is mint, can't believe its so old! Taking it apart may have taken up your time, but it made for a great video. I've never taken an engine or trans like that apart so leaned alot. Hope all is well 🙂👍
Hey Dave thanks for watching I really appreciate it, it was kinda a waste of time and not the greatest video but oh well 🤷 I hope you and fam are well!! I bought somthing pretty cool that I’m gonna make a video on shortly 😁
Good video, man! You have some skill to tear into it like that. Defiantly never seen a camera angle like that before, under the trike, really fun, man! 👍😎
Dude I love Sweden I wish I lived there! You guys got your shit together unlike here in the USA we have so many idiots that don’t want to work and others that rob and steal and so many dumb ass politicians!!! It’s crazy!! It wasn’t like this before obama was presedent!
@@TheHomePros6221 haha, I heard that Obama was the best thing ever! If you like socialism you are welcome to Sweden…But hey, isn’t Brandon going to fix all your problems?
Socialism.. no don’t like that but I do love the country itself and the people there. Everything made in Sweden is high quality, the people are smart and seem really nice, I love the USA I just am tired of the idiots here that are ruining this country and a lot of Americans feel the same way. Haha Brandon hahaha
84 200S was my first 3 wheeler growing up! Shortly thereafter, my parents got me a 70! I loved the 200 but they thought the 70 was a better fit!!! I love 3 wheelers!!!
@@TheHomePros6221 it was change out at some point but all the gas tanks are the same but the graphics are different but it’s definitely a 84 tank doesn’t matter if the trike was made early if it’s a 85 it will have a 85 tank which it doesn’t but still the trike is super clean
The most dangerous feeling vehicle I have ever ridden. One of these big balloon tired 3 wheelers with the two wheels on the wrong end. If the two wheels were up by the handlebars this would have been a good design. I rode one of these at 35 and knew if anything happened I would splatter.
Man that thing is nice!! I miss my old 200s, lots of memories!
Thank u, next is a 250sx!
Thank you for sharing, i have a big red 250 1985 and a learn a lot for fixing the engine , always a pleasure watch your project 👍👍👍👍
I have a 1982 200e Big Red and totally enjoyed this video! You have a super clean sweet machine!
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!

Nice guess but ended up being cdi

That’s awesome I wanna buy a 250 big red u wanna sell one?
At the end of the day you got it sorted out that's all that matters.
You are correct and I thank u for taking your time to watch and comment!

@@TheHomePros6221 not a waste, and its a good video. Can't wait to see the new project.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼………………..well, I wouldn’t say “for nothing “, it was a good video.
thanks man!! I really didn’t think it’s the best video or anything but hopefully someone finds it useful. thanks for watching my friend!!
I need to pour myself a drink and watch this 🙂👌
I could use a drink myself lol
Good video, man! You have some skill to tear into it like that. Defiantly never seen a camera angle like that before, under the trike, really fun, man! 👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks brother
Love the old Honda’s
Me to!!
you mentioned the timing chain adjustment several times but never the valve clearance adjustment
Hey Donald thanks for watching!! Yes I adjusted the valves also everything is in spec
Well this one tricked me, and I checked the CDI numerous times but never could figure it out, thanks for watching
Sorry Im late! Cool intro music! I want a ATC but they are rare and expensive here in Sweden.

@@TheHomePros6221 I hear ya!
That sounds like the spring in the centrifugal clutch
It's your cdi spark advancer. I had the same sound I took the cdi cover off while it was running and pinpointed the sound
I wish my Big Red looked and started that good.
I love the old 250 big reds they are tanks, they start really quick make sure the carb is clean and valves adjusted correctly👍🙂
Good video👍
Thanks nils!! I was just watching your new vid
My stator coil went out on my 82 200s so I am putting my 83 xr500 engine in. Hope it hauls ass cuz the 200 only did bout 50
that’s gonna be insane!! please send me a video of it when done lol
You call that a CDI? Looks more like a ignition advance setter for a points ignition system.
Hahah I know rite!!
I appreciate the video.
your awesome joe
84 200S was my first 3 wheeler growing up! Shortly thereafter, my parents got me a 70! I loved the 200 but they thought the 70 was a better fit!!! I love 3 wheelers!!!
Great video! I grew up on a 3 wheeler, loved working on it too!
Thanks man that’s awesome they are really fun!
I’m hoping to find a rear rack to fit my 84 and not sure of the installation. Are there holes in the rear fender where it mounts to frame?
yes it does
Beautiful machine. Thanks for keeping it alive!
Nice fix and wheelies👍
Thanks 👍
Looks brand new, just from the dealership.
Nice
Thanks
I know videos a year old but i think your noise could the timing chain arms wore
it was the cdi my friend
The atc 200s it’s mint the only think is it has the wrong gas tank it is a 1984 gas tank and not a 1985
it says it’s a early 85 on the frame and the gas tank was never changed out as far as I know 🤷
@@TheHomePros6221 it was change out at some point but all the gas tanks are the same but the graphics are different but it’s definitely a 84 tank doesn’t matter if the trike was made early if it’s a 85 it will have a 85 tank which it doesn’t but still the trike is super clean
I would check your muffler.
It's normal my 185 and 200s with fresh engines make that noise.
yea just annoying
My best guess before watching the entire video: Bent push rod?
It was more of somthing stupidly simple lol
Foam ear plugs while riding your machine would have been soooo much easier than a tear down. I do salute your perfectionism though.
Thanks 👍
