Hoosierlogger's ATC 70 resurection

[hoosierlogger]

Well I bought this turd a while ago and now that it is getting into winter, it is time to start polishing it up.

I took it all apart and stretched the frame because it was all smashed up from the P.O. hitting the main tube with a in an attempt to straighten it out. Cut out 5 3/4" and put back in 8 3/4 of thick wall tubing that steve0196 turned down on his lathe for me so it would slip in the original frame tube. I welded it in today at work, and shot a coat of spray bomb black on it temporarily. Going to sand blast the wheels, forks, tank, and numerous other little parts tonight and get a temporary coat of paint on them. Ordered a Lifan 140 manual clutch today. It should be in next week some time. I have some work ahead of me on this one.

Someone needs to buy my 200x parts in the classified section so I can spend more money on this.

[yamaha driver]

you told me about this build. Hope it works out sweet only if i had more cash i would buy your parts hahaha

[trizilla]

what is that motor out of? its not a stock atc 70 engine.

[350xx]

Yeah, what is that weirdo engine? And see my build if you get the chance. After i get it all going, thinking of selling the 70 engine and getting a lifan 140. Then making a seat latch system so i can kick start it.
Or go electric.
For now, I am just getting it running to play on it for a bit.

The pull start conversion isn't that hard, but pull starting with the recoil is a bit of a chore! LOL

The motor in the picture is a C70 passport engine. It has kick and electric start. I played with it for a few minutes and got it to pop like it wanted to start, but the timing is out on it. That motor is for sale by the way.

Ive been watching yours. You are moving along pretty good, just dont do anything cheap to get it done that you will regret later.


I promised the wife that this will not affect the bank account. All of the money that goes into this is stuff I found in the couch cushions and in lying in parking lots. Plus what people have bought from me. It might take me a while, but it will be fun in the end.

I think I am going to hinge the fender on the kicker side if I can figure out how to do it without it looking stupid.

I am going to try a hinged system if i can when i ever get to the conversion.

For now, my project is at 109.69+the 100 i payed for it
Total now is 209.69
All that is left is labor to get her going again, and maybe new points.

[hoosierlogger]

I am at $489 so far. That is
388 for the motor
25 for the bike
10 for spray bombs
66 for bearings


I am sure there will be a little more but shouldnt be too bad.

[hoosierlogger]

Well I got the forks and rear axle components sand blasted , painted, and installed with new bearings through out. The trike is starting to take shape again. The 140cc Lifan just showed up at my door in a nice white undamaged box. I just need someone to buy some of my 200x stuff so I can but new tires, exhaust, and foot pegs for it. Ill post pictures of where I am at later on today some time.

[hoosierlogger]

Ok I got the motor mounted in the frame. Chain, shifter, and kicker put on and the hand brake perch converted to clutch perch. Now I got to get a different intake, make some wheel spacers, make up a mounting tab for the coil and the CDI. Tires will be here on Friday. The only way I would have more room to work was if I took it in the bathroom shower. LOL

Looking good!!

[jfaulkner02]

Looking good so far. Im at a stand still on mine for a few days.

[350xx]

Looking good! Im doing my seat as we speak, i wish the pan didnt have little metal triangles on it because id rather staple this mofo!
Making a template out of paper now, then cutting out the vinyl, then sewing it up, then making slits for the triangles to go through. since they arent sharp anymore, haha.
Just taking my time and doing it right.
