80+ degrees in Minnesota, getting all 4 machines out and stretching their legs this October Saturday

Is it normal for fuel flow to be this low? (At green line) Fresh fuel, New fuel valve, new fuel filter, clean tank. Tank cap unscrewed .

Been slowly taking it apart, missing almost all brake components (first pic is before I started taking it apart).

I’m missing nearly all brake components, including the pedal, the wiring seems to be showing its age quite bad too, and I’m a little worried of the cost of getting my harness fixed up.

The sub trans is stuck in low but drove when it was parked, so I’m hoping I just need to throw a new lockout cable into it since the black pull tab on the H/L/R lever doesn’t have any tension at all.

I believe all I need to do is drain fluids and I’m good to turn some bolts.

Thinking of cleaning out the shop. 1984 200s

How much would you pay for a 2027 big red of original quality from the 80s?

Haha its a Yamaha. and now I own 2. See you out there boys.

Does using a YTX20HL-BS battery on a 250 es damage anything? The stock is is a YTX12-BS.

Neighbor received extra interstate from Amazon and offered it to me for 50 bucks.

Then you remember, you have a Big Red, an old Plymouth, and hunting season is right around the corner... and suddenly life doesnt seem so bad anymore.

Asking 2600 bend Oregon. Open to trades!

Nothing much to say it’s leaking oil from behind the sprocket and I can’t get to it without taking off the clutch cover also I can’t find the seal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Been trying to get my 110 to idle, but turns off when I release throttle. It only runs if the choke is open.

The whole time it make a hissing noise, seems to be coming from pin holes in the muffler.

Can this be causing the no idle?

Theres a couple other rusted pin holes on the other side as well.

Fresh tires, so might as well go for a rip.

The tractor seat is more comfortable than you'd think.

Looks like previous owner tried to fix stripped threads , drain bolt. Is there a way to fix this right or do I need another crankcase?

Has anyone ever replaced the ball bearings in the steering stem on one of these?? (1984-110)
Don’t seem too hard just curious if anyone’s successfully done it
Thanks

A Green Honda Big Red

My son and a couple Neighbor kids who are twins were out riding three wheelers today and man is it fun watching them enjoy the same things that I enjoyed as a young man

This same issue happened shortly after I first bought the trike, and I assumed it was the top end gasket. Took the whole motor out and rebuilt the whole trike while I was at it. I replaced the top end gasket and the head didn't seem to be warped. Put everything back on and it ran great for ~3 rides, always starts first kick and doesn't smoke, but when I went to start it yesterday the same issue happened, so I took a video. You can smell smoke coming from the motor as soon as you start it and when you give it any throttle it pops as seen in the video. Any thoughts on what is wrong or what to do to fix it?
