Need opinions on this particular year....I believe it is injected....

I think that the 1200's came both ways in 85, both injected and with carbs. I had 2 84 1200's with carbs and a friend of mine has a 85 with carbs, his seems to have a little more low end grunt than mine did. I wouldn' buy an injected 1200, the carbs work just fine and around here nobody knows how to work on the injector system and parts might be a little hard to find. But that is just me, I am not saying that you shouldn't buy one. I know that there are probably many of them running around and they may never need any service on the injection system as long as they are maintained properly, but I am a little paranoid.

The 1985 LE was injected, and the Interstate & Aspencade used carbs. The LE is pretty complicated,and expensive to maintian,but are great when everything is working.

There is going to be one disected and sent on ebay in a week or so if you need any parts. I have a buddy with one and he has 47,000 still on same stator and having good luck but I sure would not want to work on one myself lots of stuff under that plastic. Zeke in snowbound Ks.:O

I've had a 1985 LTD since 1989. The fancy one with fuel injection and all the other factory toys.

It's been great.
