- Yeah, it was fighting me. The cylinder was totally filled with water, and its been rusted tight for about a year, but it came loose, and did run, though horribly. Like it did before we let it sit. This is a few weeks later as i'm writing this, and i haven't really messed with it much since. I'm still pretty sure its ignition. Had plenty of power if you kept it in the right rpm range.

Awesome vids dude keep them up!
Thanks man.
nice!! I havent seen my '81 125 in a while and I plan to restore it. its not that rough though
Awesome! Yeah, they are really cool looking and riding bikes.
Mine has the one where the stator goes around the outside of the fly wheel, with a smaller flywheel, the difference between the 2 setups is 6 volt and 12 volt. Every year of the atc 90 and atc 110 1969-1980 were all 6 volt. My xl185s is 6 volt so your xl125 should be 6 volt as well. The more modern looking one we see in the later atc 110s and atc185s and 200s were 12 volt.
Gotcha. Yeah... I'm not sure about the different setups meaning 6V or 12V. And it looks like every year of the XL185S has the stator on the inside of the flywheel, same as the ATC200X style. But also mostly the same as all the other CDI style ATC's. Though i still can't say or not if its 12V. I know the headlight is 6V, and the battery, But the Ignition stator is seperate from the lighing stator, (Like the ATC's) so its possible one is 6V and the other is 12.
Interesting Tom.
Turns out most of the problem was the points not being clean enough. Like usual.
My atc 90 used to sputter because of the stator, now it Won't run because the stator died..... but it did sit out side about 20 years before I got it
Hey man! So i was just wondering what kind of alternator setup that would use, and so i went on mr cycles to see some diagrams, and i see two types of alternator setups, the one similar to what this xl125 has, and one that looks more like the 80's style 110/185/200 setup. Any idea which yours has? The later style has a big ring stator that goes around the flywheel, and the other type has a 2 kinda tube shaped stators mounted behind the flywheel, with the flywheel going around them. I'm just curious, ive only seen on 90. Its a 70 and i have no idea what that has going on. haha.
My ct70 did the same thing (acting like it was flooding) and the problem I had later found out was that the brass seat for the throttle needle was worn out. Hope ya fix it!
haha, wow. Its really interesting all the different problems things can develop over the years. I tried a few different carbs on this thing, and it did the same thing.
i got this 90s murray riding mower, got free from freinds dad. cleaned it up and ran beautiful. till one day i go to mow with it. it would not start. so go to tinker on it, took almost all of it apart looking for the problem.
had gas, n spark- cleaned flywheel, stilll nothin. as a last resort, i slapped a magneto from my parts bin on it and fired right up.
only thing i could think of is the other mag was goin bad maybe? 👍
Yep, i've definitely had, pretty much that happen with some of the three wheelers. Where they had visible spark, but would run awful, and it was because of a failing Stator. Luckily the honda shop manual has the Ohm range for the stator's, so a quick test lets me know if thats the issue. But yeah, sounds like it to me, that the magneto was dying out. I Don't know if i've ever had a bad magneto. I do know with the older Wisconsins's that had magneto's, they would have much weaker spark, and not run as well especially at idle as they would with a 12V coil instead. But i think some of that was probably the points not being as perfect as they should have been. haha, of course none of your magneto machines are gonna have points probably.
tommartyn - the weirder thing on this is i got a craftsman 86 gt 2 , motor was full of water, been sittin who knows how long and it fires right up. crazy.👍
yea i currently dont have any riders with points at the moment, i did have this one dynamark- would run for 15mins then die, let it sit an hour and itll fire back up. i cleaned the points, but it needed new ones. ended up gettin rid of it anyway.
Most likely your coil is stuffed had same problem when coil wormed up it started to fail swapped out no problems
Could be. I don't remember if I tried the coil. I might have though, might have swapped a working one from another machine into it at some point.
Man I wish you'd sell some of your toys, I'd totally buy something off you, and if I had all those tractors I had I'd trade you cause I know you can't turn down a good tractor
victor trout look a Craigslist Wisconsin we have ton from old toys laying about
hahah, yeah, I don't know man, i'm pretty attached to all these things.
You seem to have good luck with getting your hands on old honda's
Thanks man. I keep an eye out. This one, the guy really didn't know what he was doing. It was a real mess when i got it.
Yeah that's a sweet bike I had one a lot like that for a while I put a 200s engine in it and it was a lot of fun. You could probably put a 200x engine in that pretty easily because there are the same as a 200s. Yeah I am planning on making a video on the turbo geo here soon probably show how I did it. I don't know if you have ever heard of Boostedboiz but they have built some cool cars and Charlie put a turbo on a geo but now he I Honda swapping it he just started his own channel Charlie Mock you might check him out too.

Hey man, yeah, years back i put a 200S engine in an XL100. Maybe a 73 or something. Been a while. haha, i kept the thumb throttle setup. haha, it was pretty weird. Pretty sure all my 83-85 200X engines have stripped out kickstart parts. And my 86-87 200X engines have their own issues, not that they'd bold in anyway.
