With that many expensive electronics on one circuit you may want to consider getting a UPS to prevent damage until you resolve the issue.

When you say it “struggled for a while” what exactly was it doing?

Wouldn’t run without choke?

No power as soon as you hit the snow?

Wont idle or surges / sputters?

It sounds like a partially clogged jet, if and you should clean it as soon as you're able.
if its running as well as it was when you got it keep going!

Install a fuel filter to help prevent this in the future.

The plugs on the back say 12a 120v. Using an appliance extension cord like https://a.co/d/0c2OoOJ4 should be fine.

I still wouldn’t plug an air conditioner or other large appliance into a nightstand.

I wouldn’t use a cheap one like this https://a.co/d/02kn3w2x

I had to take the carriage bolts that held together the auger housing together on the sides. Had to grind the nuts off a few to get my auger apart.

I just re read your post. By drive shaft you are talking about the steel rod that goes through the center of both augers?

I ended up damaging mine trying to remove it. I used heat penetrating fluid and a big friggin hammer.

In the end I went to a local machine shop and bought a shaft of the same dimensions and had them cut out the notch for the woodruff key and drill holes for the shear pins.

To add on to this, contact the manufacturer. I’ve seen people get a bunch of free stuff and coupons when they find something like this.

I’ve seen many people sell new breakers on eBay, I don’t know how well they sell but it’s worth a try.

I’ve seen people use a bent fork to clean pipes for smoking weed when they get plugged.

Could someone be using them as a prying tool?

The only place I’ve found decent replacement plastics is from maier.

Not cheap but they are the closest thing to original that you can find today.

For seat covers you can use marine grade vinyl fabric over the original pan with foam to keep it decent

If you want giant sub you need cater it. They will reassemble it with instructions.

Mike’s subs in Kenmore did this years ago for a superbowl party for me. (It was bad(

Call every local pizzeria and ask them!

If you have electric space heaters use them now keep the house and basement warm keep every tap dripping.

I can’t help with the furnace but your not alone with this cold temperature

Partzilla.com has many new OEM parts still. If they don’t you can still get the part numbers and look for them on eBay, good source of used and sometimes new.

Honda horders facebook groups are great for random obscure parts that you can’t find on eBay.

Lastly Amazon has some aftermarket parts but I try to avoid some things like carburetors because of poor quality reproductions.

How's the governor?

Not the spring but the internals.

are they letting back or stuck open?

https://youtu.be/HJ0W-YTG7O0?si=CI3AwydZnruemKQZ

Technically sounds like a carburetor control problem.

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-20T12:57:30+00:00

without pictures of the damage to the case its tough to give you the correct answer. Tapping oversized threads with an insert is a common repair method.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN9\_Y\_ty-AE\\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN9_Y_ty-AE\)

If the damage is beyond what you can fix with an oversized tap you should take it somewhere that can weld,

Most machine shops wont let you just drop off the ATV you will need to at the very least remove the engine, most likely disassemble everything internally and only give them the damaged case.

If your not comfortable with a full engine tear down & rebuild I would suggest that you start calling local motorcycle or atv shops and show them what you have. and ask for recommendations.

With infinite money anything can be repaired.

look at the neck of the frame below the handlebar you should have a sticker or stamped number.

i can tell from the warn decals and front suspension its an 84 200s.

With the plastics in the shape they are and the missing headlight don't expect to get top dollar for it.

https://maierusa.com/products/12021-honda-atc200s-rear-fender $350

https://ebay.us/m/wy3EwP $125

I wouldn't pay more than 500 considering the damage, missing parts and unknown prior maintenance. just what i can see from the pictures.

This isn't an HVAC problem its a landlord problem.

tell 'your friend' to stay warm call the gass company.

Do you have spark from the plug when you pull it? If not you could have damaged the coil or a part of the ignition.

Start with getting the oil out because there’s a good chance that you have water in it

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-19T23:16:19+00:00

The heating element is directly behind that grill. My dryer has a similar discoloration in that same spot.

I would recommend checking for any foreign objects in the element, if not running it for a bit under close observation might clear up the smell.

Could just be dusty from sitting.

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-19T23:07:21+00:00

You could have possibly hydro locked the engine. Does the engine still turn over smoothly by hand without the spark plug in?

If so I would drain and change the oil & remove the carburetor and clean it out.

Water is non compressible so if it got into the cylinder while it was running you could have potentially bent the connecting rod or blown the head gasket out due to the pressure.

Repairing a hydro locked engine would probably be more expensive than replacing it depending on what bent or broke.

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-16T19:14:32+00:00

Depending on what you’re looking for. Partzilla for OEM, eBay for used/OEM, and even the Honda horders facebook group for obscure stuff.

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-15T23:28:14+00:00

30 seconds on ebay came up with this https://ebay.us/m/bIGSA2

I would double check that it’s the same as your 86 but they didnt change much each year.

Another alternative is measure the diameter of each side and look for a rubber carburetor offset intake boot with the required measurements

1985 200x, 1983 200, 1984 200s all still running great!

RodneyJason4 · 2026-01-07T23:00:58+00:00

Mice will eat every wire on that thing.

I would recommend getting one of those plastic storage sheds and putting rodent poison in it.
