they usually say somewhere on the cylinder what size it is. It looks like a 60 to me though too. 60 or 80 it sure is cool! Nice find. :Beerchug I have a old magazine with a test on one of those now that I think about it. I will hunt it down.

well, I was just wrenching on it, got spark, seems to have decent compression, no start. Took off the carb, DIRTY! worse one ive ever seen. the needle is messed up, so I tried to get it to fire without it, NOPE. I just want to hear it run before I tear it down, get it runnig well, then tear it apart for the resto. The lil holic is nuts over this thing, he knows its faster than his zinger, wich he still cant ride! he wants nothing to do with the zinger now. :rolleyes: Hopefully with a little tweaking, I can hear it run, then I think I will get a new front tire, and see how she rides, then start restoring. The fenders ARE fiberglass, I think it is a Hi-Performacne ATV kit, the same folks who brought us 3 to 4 conversions. It is different than the pictures we have seen of the Pro-Design kit. Its cool, but I still need to finish up the Tiger, I guess I will start this thing soon.

Thanks Holic! Great Score! It small, like you said, must be a 60. It looked bigger on ebay, plus with the guy saying it was an 80. I'll tell ya, the rear hubs, rims, and tires look like ATC70 flavor. The side of the rear fender by the airbox kinda looks like it has the same louver pattern as an ATC70 too but the rest of the fender is way different. Judging by that chain tensioner I bet its the Hi-performance ATV kit too.

Very Cool little ride ... :D
