83 honda atc 70

[1985BigRed250ES]

hey guys, i am needing some help here with my 83 atc 70. it has no pull start so it has to be push started lol. i can push it with about 1/4 throttle and it will start and run for 5 seconds or so and then die. soon as i start pushing it again it will fire right off with 1/4 throttle, any more it wont run and any less it wont run. i have been thru the carb 4 or 5 times with no luck. i have tried a new spark plug (NGKC7HSA) and it didnt change anything. the choke seems to be not working correctly but it shouldnt keep it from atleast running for more than 5 seconds? I think it might just be time for a new or good carb. does anyone have one they want to sell? also i need a good gas tank that doesnt leak.

anybody? please help this thing might wind up getting burned and hauled for scrap if i cant get it to run soon. thanks

if the choke is not working that might be why it wnt start if it hasnt been started in a while. try taking off the air filter nd covering the air intake as a choke. did that with mine before i fixed the choke

for 30 dollars you can get a brand new one on Ebay and rule it out.

Id put a new carb and choke cable on it. If your just going to scrap it Ill come get it. Just sayin.

So he might as well buy straight from ebay!
Whoever doesn't trust ebay had one bad experience, maybe two and theyre just chicken now.

Get an ebay account.
Get a paypal account.
Buy the carb.
Done deal!

yea, that where I was trying to head him. ebay is just fine, but sellers pay high fees

ok thanks for the help. anybody got a recoil starter less than $80.00?

[jb2wheels]

I know it sucks, $80 for a clean ATC 70 pull start isn't a bad deal.

That's one thing I learned to look for when buying a 70 - pull start and solid seat pan. No pull start = -$100 from asking price and set pans were a deal breaker but now somebody is making reporductions.

[1985BigRed250ES]

the pullstarter needs rebuilt. and who makes seat pans for em?
