1984 ATC70 Running Project

[mywifeknowseverythin 16]

I picked this little Guy up Last weekend.....Been Eyeballing it for 4 yrs now....Been Sitting under a Pine Tree in someones back yard....You could say Ive been "Stalking It"....

I talked the owner out of it for Next to nothing....150 Bucks!!! Brought that thing home and First Pull!!! BAM!!!! Fired right up....My son Garrett was Foaming at the mouth to Climb aboard and take it for its maiden voyage but just about the time he threw his leg over to mount this Trusty Red Steed it had a heart Attack and Died:aargh:

I pulled and pulled and pulled but it was a no go....So,,,,I decided I would take the Tank Cap off....Its one of those OLD SCHOOL ones with the Vented On and Off Switch.(Goggle it!!) LMAO!!! I thought maybe that vent was plugged...So for the first time I got to take a peak in to the Bowels of this Beast...I threw up in my mouth when my eyes caught their First Glimpse of the Cancerous Rust that had Formed in there..Freakin Chunks Were doing the Back Stroke in there like they were in a pool on some Caribbean Cruise Ship:huh:

I calmly told my son that I had to preform Surgery on this Little Guy....He Dismounted,,,,Reached into his Front Pocket and pulled out his little Index Finger and Thumb....Pulled the Trigger and said he would see it in the Recovery Room..LMMFAO!!! (One Freaking Cup of Coffee....Sorry people)...

Anyway,,,,,I pulled the Tank,,,,Its at the Radiator Shop right now getting cleaned up and Sealed....I pulled the Carb....Its Gummed up Bad....The Isolator Gasket is Cracked so I just ordered 3 more gaskets for the intake...I also Bought a new Carb and intake manifold for it....The plastic is in Great Shape!!!! NO CRACKS...I need to find a new Coil....the one that is on there isnt Stock....I also need to figure out why there is an Aftermarket Stop button on it and why the Stock On/Off Switch is disconnected.....That is really as far as I have gotten.....I might just put it on the Bench and Take it down to the Frame and redo it....Or I just might leave it like this and Ride the Snot out of it....We will see....

very cool! Those things are hard to hurt, these just keep going...I LOVE Ebay- there's all kinds of stuff out there!!! I'm working on a 90 and a 110 right now. those old guys are starting to get snatched up and fortunately for us, most owners don't think they're worth much. with a littlke work.....the atc110 just needed a carb kit, $13 on ebay w/freight, it runs like new! they're so simple you cant hurt them.

Hey if anyone needs an atc90 engine, a guy up the street from me has TWO, both running. wantsn like$50 each I think, I'll have to nail him down on that. He GAVE me a good atc90 tank that was laying under a tree! and I bot a clarke plastic tank from arkansas for a really good price. chvylvr on ebay has a BUNCH of stuff and he's treated me really nice! I recommend him.

Let me know if you find another 70- - the neighbors grandkids are that age and it would be a great start

[mywifeknowseverythin 16]

Im a Trike Freak:yes:

The only Honda that I have never owned is that ATC90....One of these Days I would like to tear into one of those......

Here are some of mine over the yrs.....

Ha Ha!!!!! This is my Sister Back in like 1979 Or earlier on her 110:biggrin:

[mywifeknowseverythin 16]

I keep forgetting about this bike.....This 85 250R was Bought by my family when it wa new an it is still in our Family....there Are actually 2 of them....My Sister out in AZ has them right now.....This picture is of my Youngest Son Garrett and my wife.......He is Maybe a yr old....He tells me that he wants my Z when he gets old enough....I just might Put it away for him.....

[Stoopidbot1 11]

I was born in 79 you old fart.

[Raptor8 10]

I just now logged in dude, anything weird?

wow you have some serious wheelers. that yammer is a rare one- I know where there is one in springfield OR but have not heard from my spy if he wants to get rid of it. has been ignored for years am told.

I need a headlight for my 110 exactly like on your 200, need a h/l switch too, if you have them hanging around. If, not I'll ebay them no problem. have a few friends there now hahaha.

WOW what a collection. I bot mine to restore and sell no less. I know there's some kids out there who would be forever changed if their parents got them these rigs.

[mywifeknowseverythin 16]

I was born in 79 you old fart.

Ha Ha!!!!! I WAS RIDING BEFORE YOU WERE BORN!!!!! My Dad cant find the Pictures yet but I had a 1978 ATC70 when I was 8 or 9:huh:

[Raptor8 10]

And yes...That is my NERDY Self in the above picture....If I had Skills....I would be able to Chop that off.....These are Scans my Dad keeps sending me.....I guess there is nothing better to do than Go through old Pictures when you Retire....

Hey MWKE!

It's been a long time since I have been to this site. I got your message. I have a bunch of different motors for ya. What are you looking for? I have 90cc autos, 110 autos, 125 pitbike manual clutch, 110 semi-auto w/revo. They are all Honda copies, and are very dependable engines.

Oh yeah sweet little purchase. Reminds me of the 200x in great shape I got for $100. All it needed was a head pipe. $18 on ebay!

[Sc0tt 10]

I had an 86 ATC110. I liked it it had low and high gear ratio.

[kidatvs 10]

I have more atvs then atcs at this time. Atv or two for sale if anybody is interested. The trikes I have right now are 79 110, 85 200x, 85 350x, and 86 250r. Would be willing to sell the 110 also. I want to get an 82 110 cuz that's what I grew up on.
