- I end up picking up a $250 Honda Big Red ATC 200 three wheeler. This three wheeler is in very rough condition and hasn't seen light for over 6 years. Will this machine run? #Honda, #BigRed, #Trike,

We have a 83 and 84 Big Red. Both are 200ccs. In 85 they went to full suspension and to 250ccs. I’m not trying to be negative or anything but I don’t think you have a Big Red. Bid Reds had electric start on them and a hi lo transmission selector. In 84 they went to shaft drive and also added reverse. You may have a 185 or a 200. There should be the actual cc number on the cylinder towards the bottom where it mates to the cases. That will tell you what it actually is. I love your videos and channel, I’m just trying to be helpful. I’m a bit of a Honda Atc nut, I have four at the moment and I’ve had six at once in the past before.
@@christophercook3840 great to know! Thank you for this information!
What's your email bro
I had an atc 125 and 70, but not a 200 :(
I've been working on slowly restoring a 200sx quad, poor thing has been abused to the moon and back, No starter, No airbox, No airfilter. No main fuse. 1 chain adjustment bolt missing. rings were non-existent both tires were flat, drive sprocket was welded back on. Looks like it sat outside for 10 years, Then it came to me, Got the rings replaced, honed out the cylinder. new carb throttle free'd up. And the thing fires up like a dream, I cannot express how it baffles my mind that people throw away things that are so easy to work on, and that'll last you a lifetime. It's like i told my neighbor. If you work on these honda's long enough, they'll work for you for years to come. Love these machines! Nice video man!
Harbor freight sells round lights, you’ll just need the brackets. That’s what my friend used for his replacement
Good to know, thanks!
That is a killer deal for a 3 wheeler. Great vid man love the content!
youve got yourself a 1984 atc 200s sir. good machines, very barebones. i quite like them
First vid I've watched on the channel and loved, can't wait to go through the previous videos
Day 8 of asking if 2vintage can do a collection vid
I think he flips them for a small profit and only keeps a couple.
I would love to run across a deal like that it's going to clean up nice. Electric start would have been nice.
You always find the best deals. I would love to find something like that for 250. The engine sounds sweet too.
Too bad the headlight is gone, they're really cool on these Big Reds. They have a 20 foot or so extension cable that serves as a mobile work light. OEM will be expensive, but any headlight is better than none.
Yeah the headlights definitely complete the look of the machine!
ah, maybe someone took it off as a work light, forgot, and drove off - like people do with the gas pumps in their car lol
The 250es has the long cord for the headlight.
Ted Zipoy no only on the 4 trax it dose that not the big reds
Should have stopped at a car wash on the way home and gave her a good bath!....Good find!
This is one of the best trikes I've ever owned. You definitely need to keep these one!
You can’t stop buying more projects can you keep up the good work
He’s got money to do so
Leeeets go!!!! Got my popcorn ready for this movie keep it up!!
Looks like just Honda 200. Still a sweet machine to find! Keep up the great content!
Nice machine love the old Hondas! We got a double dose of the piano ringtone this time!
That has to be a bargain, engine runs really sweet, with regular oil changes it'll run for ever! Nice job!
Dude I use to cringe watching your videos back in the day but I have to admit, you put yourself out there mistakes and all, have come across lots of really old gems, and have learned a lot over the years. And you know what that's how it's done. So I apologise for any of my old comments. I actually can't wait for the follow up of this trike. Nice work. Well done 👍🏼
I still cringe watching his video's 😂😂😂
That plastic gas tank is an upgrade it’s about $200 on eBay Canada so pretty much you paid 50 bucks for the three wheeler got most of your money back from that gas tank lol 😂 nice
Haha I didn't know that!
I use spray on aircraft stripper on the plastics. its in a blue spray can. you can usually find it at any parts store. it works very well for me.
I got a 1983 185s a d it's good to see someone has the same problem starting them in the cold. I've found that just alittle squirt of starting fluid in the cylinder on half choke does so much better than gas for a cold start
2vintage saying: it’s a Honda they last forever
Me thinking: totally agree 🤟
She absolutely has good compression. Ouch! That looked painful....watching now.
Yeah didn't feel too good! Lol
Hey what state are you in? I have a resort in northern minnesota and want to do a vintage ride this spring. The trails go through my property so you can leave right from your campsite/cabin.
Wildhurst Lodge Adventure Channel
That sounds like something I would like to do 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i remember a old 2 wheel tractor we used to have with a kickstart. it was famous for kicking back when you tried starting it, and it pushed your knee up into a metal bar
Get a tube for that tire then u can use it looks like it’s missing the fender flares also probably be hard to find
I think 3 wheelers like the coolest looking thing 😂 you should try and find a 2 stroke 3 wheeler to fix they sound loud and a lot of power just hard to find
when you were pulling it and it snapped.. that was because your decompression release isnt hooked up. not a great feeling. i pulled the tendons in my fingers pulling them over like that. if you want good tutorial videos on rebuilding the pull start check out d-ray garage.
providing it rides this is one of your best buys as far as repairs involved verses what you could sell it for they are highly sought after great vid
Love the vids lately keep it up man 👍
Have a blessed day everyone 🤘🏽
You to buddy
Thanks brother, you too.
Thanks man I appreciate it. You too!
Decompression lever on the right side of the valve cover.
might have saved his knuckles.
He rigged up a strange pull start handle. Glad you are doing a 3 wheeler though.
Strange but highly functional over the plastic one
Those old 250's are bullet proof!! keeper for sure
These old Hondas are something else. They were built to last and be worked.
Badass man find Love watching your channel love the dam barn find dirt bike you got in the garage!
I just picked up an 83 atc 250R I'm going to rehab a bit. I found a few pages on Facebook to be very helpful finding oem Honda parts. ATC Crazy and 1980s death machines and trike riders, I see parts all the time and Big Red's are very popular bikes these days that bring in the cash if they're in good condition or not.
Motor is 84 or older with down shift pattern and neutral at top. Look at jug under the carburetor the cc info is there 180cm 3 for 185 and 192cm 3 for 200
if you cant get it running, and decide to part it out, i need that gas tank BAD!
Did u not watch the video
@@cadesperry3467 yes. U never know, it might have horrible engine failure.
I grew up with this machine. 1983. Rode it in the bush until about 2005.
It hasn't run very well since. Had it into the shop a few times but stopped investing in it
As I'm in between coats of paint on my Suzuki Dr I'll sit and watch this video
What size? I have a 79' DR370 I'm slowly picking away at
@@keziaandnicholasward7044 1987 dr200. Just a little lightweight bike I use in the woods. Love the weight and reliability
Love your videos man! Glad I stumbled across your channel! I picked up a 1985 250 Suzuki 4 stroke.... still trying to find info on it but I got it for 100$ and has no throttle response... hopped on TH-cam to search it up and came across your channel and I’m hooked! I’ve seen a good chunk of your videos already lol keep on doing what you’re doing man! Love it!
That air filter in this was cleaner than that "new" one in the TRX450 🤣🤣
If the tank is plastic. It might be a clarke tank which is worth money
Me: Looks at him bust his hand on the crank
Also me: Looks at the decompression lever on the side of the engine
Me again remembering the same damn thing on my Yamaha 3-wheeler and forgetting about the said decompression lever and busting my hand on the crank. :P
Hahaha
@@2vintage gotta admit tho, sometimes its impossible to get a start with the decompressor on..so :P I miss my old Honda and Yam :-P So far I've rebuilt 2 hondas, 3 yams, 1 kawa. All 1990 and under :-D its a lot of fun
These in mint condition are 1200 tops.but I'm talking mint..alot of people overprice their 3 wheelers because they think they're worth more than they really are
Man I would have never pulled on that peace of square metal tubing
I always look forward to seeing your videos!
my favorite things you say is that everything is always “pretty good” “pretty bad” or “pretty clean/dirty” lol.
I bought a TT250 just like this... 3 hours trouble shooting, cleaning it up. Paid $150 for it... sold it for $900. should of kept it....
good little project you have!!
Never had a barn find before, I'd love to find a 3 wheeler or sport quad, I have found a storage crate find it was a Honda 1981 185s got it for 350
Work on a lot of em here, farmers love em. I got an 84 fourtrax 250L with same airbox, and electric start, battery behind airbox. thinking that 3 wheeler might be an 84. Great find yes all down shifting. My 250 has a shaft drive with an auxiliary transmission mounted to the drive link for front sprocket.
A good thing is too quick power wash the vehicle before do anything on it, helps a lot.
That pull handle looks dangerous haha
Hel love the videos keep em coming what size is that ultrasonic cleaner looking to get one for my projects yours seems to be size I need
Liking the constant projects, keep up the good work 👍
I love the idling sound of a 3 wheeler 😊
So you love the sound of any idling four stroke then? They all sound the same 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@wisecampmotorcycles8258 I mean they sound more unique than say a 250 dirt bike
@@hayestucker1040 Ah okay, guess it all depends what exhaust system is fitted.
Piece of hard wood dowel is best for starter handle. Owned by someone who had good ideas and some not so good
And get yourself a propane turbo heater to warm that garage up! Turn it off when filming but damn, I’m cold just watching lol.
I find myself looking forward to your videos lol good job bud
I just got my first honda 3 wheeler, a 200x and I love it!
Looking forward to the next episode!
great job. that engine runs nice . another great score
Yah for sure bro go to a tire shop and ask them to install a tube in it, I work at a tire shop and that is an easy fix, they should be able to patch the tire then put a tube in after cuz she still has lots of tread left
I love old honda revivals...they just wanna run
For the fork paint use rust oleum sunrise red it’s the closest to Honda res
May want to check VINs on online before buying machines if possible (make sure not stolen), but if you're not registering it or something, doesn't matter.
First! Thinking of picking up a 200es shaft for 400 runs but smokes? Good deal? Also get a 250sx next best one. Ytm 200s are fast to
**second
Also instead of wd40 use soapy water for tire leaks lol, although I know how it goes not feeling like getting a tool or something else when you're in the middle of working
Got a 1985 250 three wheeler last night
They are so fun!
You can’t kill a Honda especially the atcs a very classic and bulletproof machine
That’s a lie lol, I’ve rode Honda’s my entire life and I’ve blown plenty engines
sleepy brian not everyone has the same experience. I don’t go out flooding mine in deep ass water or covering it in mud. If you ride it the way it was made for they’ll last forever.
It has a decompression lever on the head and there is supposed to be a cable that goes from the pull start to the lever. That way it ain’t so hard to pull
If your ultrasonic cleaner doesn’t work on carb, pick up a Cal trec one on eBay they’re awesome🤘🏼🤘🏼
Weren’t those tanks originally steel? Also you could hear that spark snap on the camera that was pretty good!
YES, my 84 is early model with a steel tank. Ive heard some are plastic
My 85 big red had a steel tank
Yep, that's a common aftermarket tank. Won't rust though👍
Probably made by Clarke mfg or IMS. It looks like it might also be a larger capacity tank.
Without having watched the entire video, any video with will it run and Honda in the title, the awnser is yes, yes it will run.
yet another project has come :D
Those Tub O Towels work killer.
Heck yeah!!! My favorite machine ever made
currently me and my dad are fixing up his atc350x that's been sitting for about 10 years maybe a little longer
I never click so fast
Nice three wheeler u should buy a blaster some time I bought one and I love it
That is a well used 200s with a plastic replacement fuel tank, good score for the money!
Great video, love old Honda's and 3 wheelers are awsome😀🇳🇴
Nice camera work with the spark plug.
What mixture do you use in your ultra sonic cleaner?
1/4 degreaser to 3/4 water
Great video! Waiting for more
A decent power washer would get that paint off easily...I had alot of success stripping paint off of color plastic..you did great with this one !!!!! 250is a steal
The next quad you should do is a Polaris trail blazer 250
Those trail boss250 s are good rides, I had a couple, the rear axle bearings & front struts are always worn out, really hard to get fresh parts. If someone could make & sell a cheap front strut for these units, they would sell zillions of them, & get a lot of those 250s going again
BTW I've learned so much from you that I'm starting my own u-tube channel fixing atv's and other small machines
What a good deal a.3 wheeler that just needed a carb cleaned that's great
i enjoy your videos,do you ever sell the bikes you fix up?
i want one
When you squirt has inside carb and start it will rev high like that because all the fuel enters the cylinder at once it's not metered by carb. Move the decompression lever while rolling engine over till. You find spot where it engages. It is supposed to be connected by a cable to the pull start and moves automatically when you pull it. Buy you can use it manully.
Looks like an early 185 or 200 but definitely not a big red. Still a sweet machine though
Agree. Big Reds have two piece rear fender
Not a big red... looks like a 200M which wasnt considered a big red. Front rack is not Honda, looks like a Kawasaki KLT front rack someone scabbed on, Honda front racks didnt use the shock pinch bolts to hold it on like that. The DG exhaust is a great score, have DG exhaust on three of mine and the really last, the oem exhaust is always rotted off. Looks like someone spray bombed the motor and carb and wheels black too. Also the recoil has the hole where the decomp cable exited, these always break inside the recoil, the head has the cable decomp lever, i dont think this motor came in this frame, looks like a 200m frame with an earlier 185/200 motor. Check the base of jug for the CU number. You can swap the cable decomp lever with the later hand operated one, just grab one off ebay and its a five min swap tops, really helps pulling it over. Its definitely a compiled machine from random bits. Decode the VIN to see what the frame actually is using the online Honda ATC VIN decoder site.
What’s the name brand and model number for your ultrasonic cleaner also where did you purchase it? Looks like it works really well.
good score man! with covid prices u could get easily 1500 for that here . atv prices are through the roof man. keep up the good vids buddy
Yes if you found that big red in that kind of shape in southern Illinois you would pay a ransom for it.
@@frankdodson3534 up in ontario here you hafta give up a arm and your first born child. lol
@@Rallysport31 you knw that's right . It's the same way here in the U S. You may get one for a song and a dance that is on its way to the junkyard
500 max.
USE A PRESSURE WASHER AFTER THE PAINT STRIPPER WITH THE PLASTICS!!! makes stripping the paint easy af
Love the videos keep up the good work
Looks like the 200M I spray painted camo back in the 90's.
Well you got lucky on this one ... might have to find a tire but still the little things it needs aint shit so good job and yes that thing will be fun in the snow ...
Spark plugs tester would be better for us to see and easier for u to test. 8 bucks on Amazon.
