83 honda atc 70

[1985BigRed250ES]

thorpe, the pull start that i have is rusted bad, 2 of the 3 bolt holes or tabs is rusted off the pull start. wehn i purchased the 70 the pullstart had been laying on the ground beside it for a couple of years. i need another recoil starter but dont have the $80.00 to put into it right now.

I happen to have a nice functioning 70 pull starter. Do you have any 250es fenders you want to trade if you don;t have $$??

i dont have any plastics for a bigred. i do have bigred rear end parts though.

Well, it takes 5 minutes once you get the hang of it but it takes hours to get the hang of it...

I second that. The first ti me I replaced a spring it took forever and seemed almost impossible. Now I can pull one apart replace the spring and have it all back together in like 10 minutes. Actually did one 2 weekends ago for a buddy.

Plus atc70 pullstarts are like gold, they just keep going up in price.

if thats the case, the atc 70 is leaving, it isnt worth my time. i guess i will stick with the bigger atcs. it was a dream to own the whole honda line of atcs from the atc 70 all the way up2 the atc 350x. oh well the atc 70 doesnt look like will be part of it. i have a 250sx, bigred 250es, atc 110 and now working on getting a atc 250r and a atc 200x.

Didn't take me hours to get the hang of it....I thought it was pretty straightforward. Wind it up onto the pulley, set the pulley back in the case and put it all back together. I've seen people try and wind the spring back into the case and that doesn't work at all....

350xx i think i will push it into the nearby woods here on our property and let it sit there and maybe one year i will drag it back up and do something with it. got too many projects right now anyway. i got a 250sx that needs new bearings in the rear, new tires and a rim. i got a 1988 honda trx 300 2wd that needs the rear end rebuilt and a few other things i have forgot.

Poor 70.

Sell it to get some funds for other projects and in a year or 2 buy another. Dont send it out to rot in the woods!

what would it be worth? would be willing to trade it for a good rear diff for a 1988 honda trx 300 or a good rear end for my 85 250sx.
