Will It Run Honda 3 wheeler, Big Red 200es Edition Best one yet, HELP! ATC Repair
1984 Honda ATC 200es Big Red Edition
In this episode I drag home another broken relic from my childhood. Each video in this series breaks down another step in the process of rebuilding and maintaining your Honda ATC 3 wheeler. Think of this series as a "How to" or an online shop manual for easy, quick repairs for your 3 wheeler. I pick up where the dealer has left off. Many of these tips will apply across the model lines of most ATC 3 wheeler from the 70, 90, 185, 200 and even the 250 four strokes and 350x. I focus on the major repairs that are most common to ATC owners. I show you how I make the repairs and hopefully you will save some money for yourself and be able to get back on the trail enjoying your ATC.

Third time I've watched this this year...I take something new away each time. Just started to work through a starting issue with my 83 200 Big Red. Your videos have been very helpful and I thoroughly enjoy your candor. I feel like I'm just hanging around the shop with you...great job keep them coming.
Got an old 82-83 200E running, really thankful for your channel man, getting help with this old stuff in 1080p from a really knowledgeable dude is priceless!
Thanks, glad I could help.
Thank you for this! I actually just watched this video while on my way to look at a non-running 1984 ATC 200ES. This video gave me the confidence to buy it (cheap)! Currently tearing it down and going through everything. I am certain it will ride again!
I've watched several other videos of yours as well and enjoyed them all. Keep up the great work!
Just bought an 84ES but the reverse box I was told is bad and taken apart but he gave me an entire bottom end, glad to have found your videos!
I pulled my uncle's 84 200es out of a back field where it sat outside for 15 years. Fixed it up and now it runs and drives
EXCELLENT VIDEO and trouble shooting!👍. It looks like you have been around these 3 wheelers before. Great job thank you for sharing.
You bet, Its mostly luck. lol
Thanks everyone for the comments, I try to answer every question and read every comment. Please take a moment to hit the subscribe button.
Had a 1986 250 big red loved that machine. Man I wish I never sold it but back then they were everywhere still not that they are all that hard to find today but most are just so clapped out and parts are getting hard to find.
Join some of the FB groups if you are interested in finding a good one.
Man, what a great video! Just watched this and the top end rebuild for the 200es. You answered about 15 questions i had just wondering on where to start on my 84 big red thats been sitting quietly in our own barn for about 20 years. Trying to finish a 85 250sx now, then hopefully the big red... Soon i hope!
Awesome videos, glad to see another guy saving theses old girls, nothing more satisfying than bringing one back to life and going for a ride.
Thanks 👍
these kinda vidieos are gold, keep em coming.
I am glad you like them, Thanks for watching
I love the way you put so we feel good about what we done today
I love a happy ending. Lol

Thank you so much for this video. I have two big reds, an 83 200e and just purchased an 84 200es. Working on getting them both back up and running. With you info I now have a starting point. Thanks again.
Glad I could help, You will love that 84. Thanks for watching
Great video, very helpful, I'm rebuilding a 83 Big Red e. Thanks for the awesome info.
That's great, let me know if you need any help.
Thank you so much. Very helpful. I've been chasing this problem and now I can go home after work and see if that magnet assembly is broke on mine too. Also I hit the sub button for you.
I'm Glad it helped, Thanks for the subscription. Let me know if it works. Thanks
Une vidéo très instructive 👌
Merci beaucoup pour ce que vous partagez ! 👍
Awesome find and great job!
Thanks!
Awesome video,I've had 4 of these 84 Big Reds. Very educational, detailed video,thanks for posting.
Thanks Gary. Appreciate the support
Awesome video definitely cleared up some misunderstandings on how the rotor in the CDI works. Thanks bud !
Glad it helped, thanks for watching
You are awesome, I love this stuff , great job , keep these videos coming brother
Glad you enjoyed it. "Will it run" videos are my favorite videos to make, as long as they run at the end. Lol
Very helpful! Thanks for putting this together for us. This was an issue for me at one point
Glad it helped and your welcome. Thanks for watching!
i just got a 83 200e in running shape for 700 bucks not too beat up.
83 is a solid unit, good find
Awesome! That was fun, thank you!! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it
Just bought my first “84 Big Red 200es. Fully complete. Great shape. Now I’m hooked. Looking for a 350x project!
Thats how it starts lol, welcome to the family
You really know your stuff with these bikes. I grew up riding them and Im wanting to hopefully find me a cheap one that needs little work so I'm watching all I can on them.
There about there just keep looking, thanks for the kind words and happy new year
@@mrcbuilds Happy New Year to you too.
I've got I think is a 82 200 e in my mother's garage . Watching your video is really helpful. Thanks.
Great. Big reds are always fun
Way to go. Awsome job.
Thanks!
Thx for making content like this. I love it
Happy to help
You sure know how to with the old school atv's your videos are great! And I crazy about the old school atv's you said something about a big red with 200x front forks ! I have a Honda 250sx with 200x front forks with the tall skinny front tire. Man it's a bad boy! Can't keep the front end to the ground and I put stuff saver tires on the back and beefed up the rear end shock! It's like a raceing bike ready for the track! And I'm loving it!
Hi William, thanks, yeah I love these old things. Yes the 200x/250sx is a very good swap, skinny wheel and disc brake, honda should have built it that way. Thanks for watching!
The car you have in the shop, looks like a 53,or 54 Chevy. I couldn’t get a good look at it. It looks good.
Thanks 👍 its a 1953 Chevy 210 street rod (unfinished)
200 motors are great. The best of them all in my opinion for reliability
Nice find
Can you explain things very completely good job keep up the good videos
Thank you
Way to go bud
I like your style. Looks like you got bit hard on these. Just picked up an '84 200es last week in decent shape, although it set me back $1500 CDN. Changed the front tire and ft brake cable, charged the batt and good to go. Prices have gone through the roof lately.
Yes they have, but I really think it is all relative, when free money is given out inflation goes up. lol , thanks for watching
Awesome video man!
Thank jason
Fantastic.
Many thanks!
bullet proof engines!! well done great video!
I agree, I love the 200cc engine.
Satisfying
Really good info. here, I got some tips on maybe why my 200x is hard to start ! Thanks a lot ! 👍
Check timing, check leaking intake gasket, check weak coil, poor grounds, bad plug
Right on !
Wish I had watched this before I bought my 400$ 200es running and driving, smokes and plastics are not good or missing. Has been stored inside no rust in tank.
They are great machines. Can run forever if taken care of. Thanks for watching
I have a clean 84 trx 200 ,I sold it to a guy 10 years ago ,I ran into the guy at Walmart and asked him about the Honda I sold him he said he still had it and never road it ,he sold it back to me.
That's a great story!
great video man!!!!
Thank you.
Try a JIS screw driver. Specific Phillips head that most Japanese manufacturers use. Keep the great content coming through! Something therapeutic about fixing up these old Honda’s
I have a very stressful job, this is my theropy. I need to get some of those JIS screw drivers for sure. Thank you for watching and subscribing to the channel.
Great video! I just came across your channel and I’m really enjoying your content. I have an 84 200es that is almost done being turned into a rider. I put the project on hold for the past few months and now I am getting nothing when I press the e start button. It worked fine 3 months ago. Bike runs great when I jump the battery or pull start it. Electronics are definitely my weak area and I’m stumped. Headlight works, reverse and neutral lights do not (they used to work fine) could be related. I’m hoping it’s something simple being a complete bike and that function used to work fine. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear it!
there are 2 fuses back by the battery, check them, all the main connection happen inside the headlight housing, look in there for an unplugged wire. the dash lights especially. the no start, make sure you are sending ground from the button to the solenoid. Thanks for watching
"Only the young can say" Journey. 🤟🤟
interesting video thanks for showing ,im doing a 125 cdi version at the moment on my channel ,i know nothing of these bikes so your intel is appreciated, there isent much on the 125s on you tube but im putting up what i discover to help others, if there is anymore out there lol ,Greetings from Wales UK. Ive subd bring em on lol.
No problem 👍, glad I could help, yep the first 2 years 125m isn't talked a lot about, RUclips needs someone to highlight those bikes.
Awesome video
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
At 7 I was gifted a 1980 Honda 110cc...At 8 got a brand new 1985 Honda 125m..It got stolen and in 1987 a got a 1985 Honda 250es Big Red still love it..I like the trunk space,removable head light,head light guard,Super low gear,back up kick start etc...I have a 2013 500 Foreman also it's a great 4 wheeler also...
Thanks for sharing, It really is impressive all the options they had even back then. Thanks for watching.
Cool bike and I’m fixing to pick up one just like that.
84 is my fav BR.
Honda Needs to bring these motors back
Agreeded just in a bigger displacement
Hey bud business card gaping works great better than my finger pop compression tester did!, Yeah I put a clutch in my big red and finished up yesterday and didn't get the turbo charged power I thought lol so I took your advice and hooked up a compression guage and 100 psi is all I could get. Got engine about ready to come out !, PS You sure move much more faster than I do in your videos looks like you move at super sonic speed ! Lol
If only I could be that fast in real life. lol
thanks for Watching. A set of rings would do wonders to your machine, be sure and lap the valves too.
Nice find. My 5 yr old wants a 3 wheeler so bad. He has a 06 crf50. But I see your 70 sitting back there guess I'm gonna have to find him one. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of it.
Hi Tray, your right those 70s are great kids bikes. I sold that one 6 months ago. Its was an 85 the last year made.Thanks for watching
I just picked up a 1984 200s I am fixing up.
84 is a great year for atc. The 200s is a nice machine. Does yours have a rear rack, if so that's a rare option.
I picked one of these up about 2 weeks ago. Same story didn't run. Had to clean the carb, rebuild the recoil, electric start still isn't working but I'm fixing it
That's great, put 12 volts directly to the starter . Verify it works and then trace your wiring backwards to the starter solenoid, then to relay and button. Good luck, let us know how it turen out. Also you can take the starter apart clean, grease if it doesn't turn with 12 volts
@@mrcbuilds thanks for the advice. I'll look into that then
these videos are great. thanks so much. any thoughts on what bike I have. Is there such thing as a 84 200e?
The manufacturing date is 4/83. dual range but no reverse. chain drive.
The only dual range no reverse was a 200e either an 82 or 83
Just subscribed also very informative videos
Thank you for subscribing, I have a surprise 84 coming in the shop very soon.
Thank you for subscribing, I have a surprise 84 coming in the shop very soon.
Watched this vidio a couple of times and very informative, thank you. Do you know where I could find a 84es rear axel?
Id suggest a FB group like honda hoarders or atc collectors. Ebay will work too. You may want to buy an entire machine just as a parts machi e
Thank you. 👍🏻
Your welcome
I have 2 84s love them
Your a lucky man, I really thing the 84 was the best year, I have a 84 build coming up real soon
@@mrcbuilds yes sir one is mint the other is a daily driver
Thks for videos and i have a mint 1984 200 es think valves need adjusted shes a little noisy is it a easy job?
Yes I go over adjusting valves in this video ruclips.net/video/IiihbGQXUsw/видео.html . you can do it, a 22m wrench and a 10mm wrench is all you need, be sure and set the engine to TDC before adjusting. Good Luck! Thanks for watching
3rd time watching this.
I picked up a 200es, my first 3 wheeler. I have a question about the exhaust that may seem dumb. But i’m new at this.
Where does the exhaust seal go? I looked in the service manual and it doesn’t show if it goes over the header pipe or the exhaust pipe.
Meaning, does it get sandwiched between the header and exhaust pipe, or does it go between the exhaust pipe and clamp?
Thanks
There 2 a copper or aluminum one between the head and header and a asbestos ring between the header and muffler.
Your content is great, I'm a new subscriber! I've got the same bike '84 200es. Question. My spark plugs are fouling and turning flat black, then the bike won't start. Any suggestions on what to repair? Thanks builds!
Sounds like your carb is running rich screw inward the enrichment screw on the bottom of the card about a half turn, clean the plug and try again. The other cause for a black plug can be weak spark. Test your coil with an ohm meter.
@@mrcbuilds Thanks mrc_builds what should the ohm meter read read?
My electric start quit working on my 84 trx 200 any suggestions what parts I would need.love this channel, I subscribed today.
There could be a number of issues. watch my trx200 will it run video, and see if that helps, then let me know what works and what doesnt. like does the starter spin? does the dash neutral light come on, dose the solenoid click when you push the button? does it start with the pull rope?
@@mrcbuilds I hooked it up to a jump box and it now works, I'm going to put a really good battery in it.
I have a 185s . Sat in woods uncovered for 6 or 7 years. Got it too run and ride. Had same thing happened with springs. Replaced them but now has spark, won't run just backfires out of carburetor??
Backfire can be timing or carb related. Since you had the rotor out. Go back and double check your timing and valve adjustments. Then if it continues, clean the carb and check for any air leaks.
Just pulled mine out of storage.first start in 2 years..just needed clean gas..I feel bad I haven't rode it since I got my 93 honda fourtrax
Dont feel bad, it's a Honda it will be ready when you need it.
Hey friend! You helped me out on my ‘83 big red left oil seal. She looks good, clean, painted rack..etc. I changed that seal and gasket and oil was pouring out out of the pull cord😞. I can only assume I dont have a clue on best way to seat that seal. Can it go too far in? Should it be flush with cylinder wall or recessed in?
Go to www.atvmanuals.com and download the free manual, for reference. That seal should be flush with the end of the crank when the cover is inplace. Double check it's the correct seal. Thanks for watching
@@mrcbuilds thanks! I will download it for sure. Sounds like I went too far. Luckily it’s not too expensive. Although I cant “save ‘em all” I should still be able to save this one👍🏻 keep up the killer videos!
I was wondering if you knew a good place to get all the ball bearings for the entire front end for a 84 Honda 200es for steering and the front tire
Sure thing, this kit will work for the steering stem amzn.to/3YoBvh6 and this for the front wheel amzn.to/3F01STD
I have a 1981 200 three wheel it is very hard to start is the little springs in the cid casing or is it out of time
Theres no way for me to know for certain. But if it runs good just hard to start, i would adjust the valves and check the position of the pickup. You may can advance it just a degree or two and improve starting. Dont forget a dirty carburetor will make one hard to start.
I just bought an 84 big red 200es. Noticed it was leaking oil somewhere on the head it was dripping down the front end of the cooling fins and possible ideas where it might be coming from and what's causing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Could be a few place. Get the machine clean then warm it up and watch for a leak. Start at the top like exhaust valve inspection cover it has an oring, the head could be loose or a blown head gasket or the exhaust donut gasket is broken and leaking unburned fuel mixed with oil residue.
1 of those should be your issue.
I have alternating current from My CDI at my black/yellow on my test light but nothing after I plug in the coil. My kill switch isn't hooked up
If you are getting any currant at the coil then your cdi is working. Trim the plug wire 1/8 inch, retest, replace the plug and retest then replace the coil. That the cheapest to most expensive when you cant be certain of which part is bad.
I really need new forks or an upgrade for my 84 200es. I just got a great one all there just seized front
Hi Ashton, best option is to find a 200m front end, and swap the whole thing over. A 84 atc200 [ no letter] would also work. Both have a 9 inch wheel, and a more modern shocks. You can swap a 185s and 200s with shock suspension, the trade off is a 8 in front rim with a different bolt pattern. I have not tried it but I have been told a 200x front will also swap. That would get you a skinny front tire and disc brakes. Thanks for watching and subscribing .
I have a very inconsistent spark could the spring and weights be my problem?
Replace the plug, and check all the grounds. At the coil, engine, frame and battery. If then you have issue, coil the cdi. I do a video showing how to diagnose each part, and also how to convert to the cheap square cdi.
Great video and really informative. I just picked up a 1983 200e that's been stored inside for years and everything looks to be intact except the gas tank is dry and has a funny rust in it kind of a frosty rusty look almost. What would you do with something like that? Thanks
I'd rise the tank with some white vinegar, swish it around if its light surface rust it should come right out. Then fill the tank with non ethanol fuel, keep it full when stored, this will keep it from rusting further.
@@mrcbuilds Thanks for the reply, I did that and it really helped clean a lot of junk out. There are still rusty brown spots and a few spots with heavier rust on them yet on the inside. Should I clean it more like that and if so how much should I do before it's alright to put fuel in it? Thanks
The viniger etches the metal, so take it easy, I'd say fill it again with the viniger and let it sit over night and more time. Keep an eye on your fuel filter, I think you will be fine, you can run 2 filters if you wanted
@@mrcbuilds The inside of the tank is looking pretty good! The bottom of the filter is the tank to the petcock looks like it's split or something, would it still be good?... I haven't taken it out yet to see. Can you replace just the filter on the petcock or do you do the whole assembly? If I do where's the best place to get them price wise?
@@birchcreekbandits8874 yes you can replace just the screen filter, finding them can be tricky, check amazon and Ebay
I’m on the hunt for a big red myself there good utility vehicles for the farm and they are good garden trailer haulers
They can be dang near bullet proof if you take care of them too.
@@mrcbuilds I agree
I have a 1984 200es big red shows 2 fuses 1-10 1-7 amp found the 10 Amp but have yet to find the 7 Amp no lights on neutral/power also now push button not engaging starter , jumped starter selinoid starter worked most likely no spark .any help w[would be greatly appreciated thank you David
1 will be in a black fuse holde mounted on the frame next to the battery, left side.
The smaller is a whiye barrel style connect with a red wire running directly to the battery. Pull you head light with a battery installed you should have power on your red wire at the light and keyed hot on the yellow with red tracer.
Hey
Where can I find the advancer spark assembly for this thing.
Thx
Contact Ace Hendrix (in Georgia) on Facebook, he deals in atc parts, tell him I sent you.
Have a 1999 Honda XR200R same problems I couldn't get it to start it all now it's backfiring I can't figure out timeing on it
Set the crank at T the cam pin in the snout of the cam should be pointing at 11 o'clock the rotor end with the line casted into it (has magnet on it) should be pointing straight up or 12 o'clock. Cam lobes should be pointing down.
Question my rear end shakes like it needs bearings idk do you have a video on the diff on the 84 or no anything?
Try this one ruclips.net/video/2zGILAz8joo/видео.html
Thanks
Thanks for the video! I just bought a
an ‘83 200e big red. After this video and some trouble shooting she fired right up👍🏻
Found an oil leak after it started running so any tips would be good. Thanks
Glad I could help! Best tip is download a free manual. Where is the leak coming from? pinpoint the location then go to www.partzilla.com look at an exploded view of that area, see which seal need replacing, and order it.
@@mrcbuilds awesome info. I will do that for sure. It was spewing from the stator wiring harness. Not sure if that means the main seal blew or not. It rode great for about 30 min before the oil started spewing. Sounded like a pin hole whistle in a baloon.
@@wekeepsitreeloutdoors You may be correct there is a crank, it get dry and when you bring these back they can leak when pressure builds up. You can find it listed on ebay check www.partzilla.com, double check this part number, it should the the crank seal behind the pull rope assembly

Thanks Sammy.
@@mrcbuilds love seeing the growth of the channel, one day i am going to have to make a trip and buy a machine off you
Anytime. Sir, anytime
I still have my sons 83 Yamaha 200 tri moto, want to get it going, how do they compare to the Honda 200s ? Is Yamaha a dirty word in your shop? 😄
No not at all, i even oen one as a youth XT125 enduro. Lol my first motorcycle. The balance and handleing is different on Hondas, the engine being more forward as well as the riding position. I have never ridden that model, but from what i have read. Also the triZ layout is much more like the Hondas, if i ever run across a nice triz250 i will drab it. But there is another machine i want first thats yellow. Lol
I was born in 1984 and im looking for a 1984...lol
84 was a great year, the Big red 200es and the 250r were the top of the line. Good luck. thanks for watching
I just got a 1982 185s in great condition, no reverse lol sucks, only thing that sucks can't find a hitch or racks for under $200, had to make them myself

Do you know anything about removing the sub transmission?
Yes, some, which year and Model?
ALMOST AT 100!! LETS GOOO!!!
Just past my first hurtle. Thanks
I’m in the market for one of these. But the prices seem to be all over the place. Care to share the price you paid for that one?
Non-running 84 200es where I live run from $200 to $1000 depending on condition of the tank, seat and fenders.
I was running my 83 200e through the woods and it just died on me. It cranks over just fine but not firing now. I just had the carb gone through and ready to ride with a full tank of gas. Do you know what could be going wrong? Thanks
Back to the basic my friend. Do you have spark? If yes, then its fuel related. I'd change the plug, just to make sure, verify you have spark before you put it in. If you dont have spark check the grounds at the coil.
I'd bet you have some rust in your tank. Drop the carb bowl an catch the fuel in it, pour it on a napkin and see if it has rust in it. If so, clean the carb again, and replace your fuel filter.
@@mrcbuilds Yep, it has spark and it fires now. It seems like it's not getting enough fuel. I cranked on it and gave it throttle just enough to get it home. Going to drop the carb bowl tomorrow and check that. Thanks
Where do I find the little springs? Please help
The advance spring can be found on ebay. For 16$ a pair or on www.partzilla.com
I just got one I don’t know what kind it is can yu give me a holler back I’m tryna find out what year it is
If you picked up a big red go here. Www.justbigreds.com
So did you ever get the rear end unlocked ?
Yes, at the end of this video it was free. I had to destroy the brake shoe to get it loose the replace the bad bearing.
What compression tester is this?
It's from autozone
Can any one tell me what that plug is for on the side if the head light my bike has the same plug
It's a 12volt accessory outlet. Honda sold a line of items that you could plug in to it and power up. Think of it as a cigarette liter in an old car.
@@mrcbuilds I bet them items are hard to find kinda like the little honda pull behind trailers
Love the videos!!
Glad you like them!
I know the ban hit in 88 for the states but didn't Honda keep making these for foreign markets until the mid 90s like India russia ect?
I am no expert on the ban, my understanding is the last US sold models were 1987, and that any 88 models where from overseas, I am sure there was some roll-over 87 models that got sold as 88, in 88 just to clear the inventory. I am not aware of any foreign market ATC past 1988
Hey do you think you cold help me I have a 1984 200es that will not spark one bit. I have a good stator. I have a new coil and a new cdi box. I have a new pulse generator coil on the way I was thinking that might be the problem and I also have advanced springs on the way. The same springs you had to replace I had to pay $20.00 because one of them just broke off and was ground into dust. What wiring should I test I just don’t know where to go and really want to get it running
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
First check the gray wire from the cdi to the connection on the case by the reverse, disconnect it. Then check for spark. Then verify the kill switch on the handle bars is working correctly. In both off positions it grounds the coil, in the run position it is an open circuit. Then check again for spark. Set the gap on the rotor thickness of a business card. Let me know what you find out.
@@mrcbuilds I will do I saw that you wnat the air gap to be between .15 and .25 does that sound about right
@@Southern_PowerPro_Wash_LLC yes about .16 inches should be fine.
@@mrcbuilds hey I was looking at the gray wire disconnect nothing changed how do I check the kill switch
@@Southern_PowerPro_Wash_LLC hey Jake, you can take the headlight out. That were the main harness meets the handle bar controls. You can disconnect the kill switch and run a continuity to verify it works correctly. Keep in mind that ground flows through it and grounds the coil in the off positions. The circuit is broken in the on position.
Man can you help me find a seat for a 185s 3wheeler 83 model?
They are making fiberglass seat pans for that bike. Highlight sells a foam and cover for it. Goggle 185s fiberglass seat pan. Or go to www.3wheelerworld.com search for fiberglass seatpan, you will find a link.
@@mrcbuilds thank you
