I've visited this forum many times but figured it was time to make an account.
I inherited an ATC250ES "BIG RED" from my grandfather recently. I remember riding this around his place some 20 years ago. I forgot he still had it! It has been pretty heavily neglected for the past 15 years or so but I brought it home to see what could be done.
Carb was a nightmare, I ended up having a friend of mine bring it to work and put it in the supersonic cleaner for a few days. Rebuilt and it fired up!
Other things I've addressed in the last few weeks:
New battery
New Levers & Grips
Replacement gas cap from CLARKE Mfg
Oil & Filter Change
Fixed reverse indicator - unplugged under motor AND bulb was cracked
Covered seat with new material
Rear brake shoes
I've logged quite a few hours on it already, it runs great. Amazing how well these things were designed
