First ATC build advice

[chuckyj95]

Ok I have a ATC125m.

1.I need to clean out slug form the tank whats the best method?

2.I am missing the tube between the carb and air box should I try to find it or just grab a pod fillter if I do that do I need to rejet?

3.Was there nurf bars or is there nurf bars for them?

Thanks pics soon

1. Depends on how bad the tank is I would just replace. There are rust cleanout solutions and tank sealers you can find on eBay but sometimes its more hassle than its worth.

2. You shouldn't need to rejet. Just stick an UNI filter on it and be done.

3. Not sure what you mean by nerf bars. Some of the trikes you could get cargo racks for the front and rear but they are hard to find and not sure if it was an option on your. I have a 185s and I know you could get a rear rack which I would love to find if anyone out there has one.

Anyway hope this helps.

Bars around the pegs so my sons feet dont go back in to the tire, like on some 4 wheelers. I would love a rack for it but i have a budget

To clean out the sludge, you can take some old gas and slosh it around and dump it out. To remove the rust some people soak it in apple cider vinager and that works. There are replacement plastic tanks out there, but I like the metal ones. They look WAY better.

Try and find the rubber hose on eBay or ask for one on here, if you do decide to go with a pod filter you WILL need to rejet. You have to compensate for the increased air flow.

No they did not make nerf bars for this model, maybe you can fab some up yourself.

The orig air cleaner boot is discontinued. An NOS one just sold on ebay...bummer. There are currently 2 used ones for sale. I would buy one and keep the bike stock. orig bikes are rare and orig parts are hard to find. these tubes rarely come up for sale. you can keep the tube and still put a pod on it which will get dirt quicker and be exposed to water if you ride in the rain or through streams. A pod might give you maybe 1 more hp if any, lol.

here's some free service manuals online

GAS TANK - It depends if its rust or sludge, lacquer thinner cleans fried up gas. if you have lite rust use some type of rust remover or vinegar etc but throw a box of bb's in it too. Shake the bejesus out of it but don;t get gas on you. pay one of the neighborhood kids you don't like $5.00 to do it. Thee bb's will break up/off the rust and speed the process up immensely.


OMG...Pay a neighbors kid...

Ok I have a ATC125m.

1.I need to clean out slug form the tank whats the best method?
I've used pool acid (muriatic acid also known as hydrochloric acid). Works great. Cheap. Nasty to work with and nasty to dispose of. I do NOT recommend.
The last tank I cleaned, I used vinegar. I think I used apple cider vinegar. It's super cheap.
I'd hose the tank out with a pressure washer first to get as much of the loose stuff out as possible, then plug the outlets, fill with vinegar, and walk away for a few days.

2.I am missing the tube between the carb and air box should I try to find it or just grab a pod fillter if I do that do I need to rejet?
I'd buy the tube. I like airboxes. Filters stay clean forever.
If you put a pod filter on, you'll likely have to rejet but you won't know until you try.

3.Was there nurf bars or is there nurf bars for them?
no they did not come with any
I doubt any are available now but I never looked.
