replacement balloon size tires and other questions about my new wheelers...

[cooter69]

Hey guys, does anyone know if you can still get balloon style size tires? if not is it possible to convert my new balloon tire style 90's to my non balloon style tire 78's rims and tires?
Oh and by the way I just picked up 2 balloon style 90's and another 78 atc 90 for 100 bucks. They did run when put in storage but now they need carbs cleaned and how do I go about cleaning the points or whatever they are called to make it have spark again? They were running when put into this guys barn but they sat forever so they lost spark. And how do you go about cleaning out the gas tank if theres a little rust in there? Not like chunks but its just old gas and surface rust...
Thanks, Jeff

Not to be an @$$, but have you tried a search on either topic? Both topics have been talked about ad nauseum. The info is there you just have to search for it.

[cooter69]

Yes I did search. I typed in balloon tire conversion and came up with about 1000 posts but no real topic about it.
Edit, I just tried again and it doesnt come up with anything?

I just did a search and it took a while but for the wheels:

Apparently you can swap over to the atc90 rear end. Or you can buy these adapters to run 3X100 wheels on your us90 axle:

Here is a link on cleaning and lining your tank.

yes... I put ATC 90 front and rear axles in my US90 and run regular tires now

[cooter69]

Damn thats pretty expensive for 3 little pieces of steel to convert to regular rims and tires. Not to mention I have to buy the rims and tires too. Anyone make the conversion pieces any cheaper?

[harryredtrike]

your balloons are ruined?both 90's.all six tires?if so bummer

[cooter69]

Yes, all 6 are shot. Large rips way beyond repair. It's too bad too because they have good paddles on them.

[harryredtrike]
