They had some cool body designs back in the golden area. Working on a 87 TRX 125 I found in a barn. Getting it restored my my grandson. Plastics are a hard thing to come by.
@@AppalachianMountainRiders Yes sir! Ive got one half of a front fender and the center front body piece. The rest are lost to time. People must have been hard on their atv's in 87 plastic wise. Got mine running like a top, just cleaning and repainting things now. Amazing how well these Honda engines survive the times and still run so well. I guess the Chinese were on to something cloning them. I used a Chinese aftermarket carb on mine, had to modify it to mount but it runs great.
I have the same honda bought in 2001 rode it for 3 years then put away in my dad's storage warehouse. Zippy was a good project name. Honda will always be Honda. Good reliable engines.
I inherited a 1986 Fourtrax 200SX from my Mother's estate. My Dad had drained the gas from the tank and carburetor. It was last run in 2000. I put a new battery in it, filled it with new gas, and it started right up! It idles a little rough, and seems a bit rich, so I will be rebuilding the carburetor this spring, but other than new tires, it rides and drives great! What a fun, nimble little machine!
Jason didn't even expect a reply to that comment. When i saw that old 200 trx it brought back a lot of memories.I live in south Fla not a lot of places to ride.I think little man will love it when its done.
I do. All the videos of the rebuild are on the channel. Though I have since pulled the motor and am using it to power a go kart for my kids. I couldn’t bring myself to spend over $500 on new plastics for a machine that at best is worth $600-$800…lol. Build videos of the go kart are on the channel too for what I’ve gotten done so far.
I have one in is badly beat up missing all of the plastics leaks a little bit of oil but it has a timing problem and one of the valves are not closing it's having blowback out of the intake have to replace the head
randy antoine actually there are a total of 11 vids with this build...must not have looked to hard...😂😂😂😁😜. Here’s a link to the playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLk3TzxQ0ZRwi1bYAra0yg4xv4F8FMVE3s
I have a Honda 200sx and it was just siting and fixed it up only had to replace the seat and a hand break on it, recently replaced the chain tension rod and if there was one thing I would change about it would have to be the chain driven axle, its a constant pain to adjust and tighten the chain.
Parts are hard to come by anymore. Best is do a google search and see what comes up. eBay has been the best parts place for it I have found. You just have to have patience and check often for newly posted stuff.
I’ve got one even more beat than that one. Ran like a champ though until I ripped the recoil off trying to start it. Didn’t have any brakes either but it was fun..
@@2035jim I'm 14 but it is easy to take care of as long as you are careful I am actually thinking about buying another one to fully fix mine and restore it
What up im from guaymas i got one of the trx honda 200 qnd i want to know were i cant fine de decomp lever i yous lost and lose the oil i want to fix if you can helpe telme a bout
Lots of comments about how great and long lasting this little 4-wheeler was - and I’ll second that. Had one since Christmas 1987. My question (and I’m afraid I know the answer): what ATV out there on the market today would come remotely close to that kind of durability?? What is the most dependable option these days? Still a Honda or ???
@@AppalachianMountainRidersjust wanted to say there's a company called Mayers plastic ( don't know if my spellings rite) They are supposed to be unbreakable.
My left side crank case cover was actually broke at one point and fixed with a electrical tape and JB weld...lol. I show it in one of the later videos and end up replacing the crankcase cover.
@@AppalachianMountainRiders the one I was looking at was sold lol... sucks.. but still looking. I'm dead set on one of these to be honest. An amazing bike, always wanted one.
DrDeathJr96's Game Room I’m hoping to have mine back up and running in the next week or two! Make sure to check out the rest of the restore vids of zippy too!
My friend has one of these and when you put it in reverse i was dead cause every time he goes to back up he gets off and pulls next time I take it for a spin in going to have to put it in reverse
Yep. Some small differences in a couple minor things but by in large it’s the same. I’m he Clymer manual covers the differences between the 3-wheel and 4-wheel models when they arise.
It's probably going to take a couple pulls... Starts right up! Lol! Honda. Check out some of my restoration videos if you get s chance. Drop me a comment. I specialize in Japanese classics. Good luck with "Project Phoenix." Lol! It's going to be a beauty! 🇺🇸🏁
Wonder if your piston is warped a bit? Once it’s hot and expands might be a little tighter in the head causing more pressure making it harder to kick over and start.
I have a Factory original exhaust on mine i will take a look at it and send you some pics if your interested i am in Florida so i am pretty sure it is in much better shape then yours
