84? Trx 200

just picked up a 84? TRX 200. came with spare motor/trans. front plastic head light and few other small things.

also buddy got from same guy 84ish 200s atc frame with exhaust, front forks, wheels, tires, 200 motor plastics, spare carb, and a bunch of other spare parts as well.

paid $500 for all of it

started digging into the TRX last night got plastics off carb cleaned, oil checked. got it to fire off of starting fluid.

so at this point thought I was golden, until started to work on the electrical. some one has been into this bike and crossed a few wires nothing really bad like neutral switch was grounded out. some of the wires on the motor look like they have seen better days, but still work. next went to work on the elec start. (that is how I found out about the neutral switch grounded out) hot wires the starter and it just spun. at first thought there was a problem with the starter. put one of the spare starters I got with it and did the same thing. Pulled the cover off the case and was missing the intermedint shaft front the second gear to the crank. this motor is also missing the cover for the spark pickup.

now after finding this I was a little pushed back. looking at my options.

pull motor and put the other one in? (was told it was a runner and complete. from I can see it is all there. Also was stored indoors)

rob parts off of the other motor to try to get this one to run. did get it to fire off starting fluid.

the spare motor elec looks in decent shape. all covers are present. same shaft drive H L R shifter. same exact motor. at this point thinking about motor swap and keep other for parts. was told it runs by guy I got it from.

plan with this TRX is for a kids bike. got two 10yrs that want to start riding. And this would be a good project for them and myself.

motor swap?
rob parts make work?

only picture I have right now.
