Hoosierlogger's ATC 70 resurection

[hoosierlogger]

I didnt have alot of time tonight, but I got 2 tires mounted and front wheel bearings installed. Front wheel is on it now. I played with the intake manifold some. This thing needs cut and rotated then re welded for the big ass Mikuni to clear the gas tank. Either that or beat the piss out of the underside of the tank to make room for the enricher lever to come up. Think Ill work on the wheel spacers tomorrow at work.

Are you going to cut your plastics?

Either cut it or hinge it, I haven't decided. The plastic has a small crack in the bottom of the right fender, so I might just go ahead and whack it off. This isnt going to see much mud, So I am not too worried about it missing some fender material.

Well my first attempt at the wheel spacers was unsuccessful thanks to a POS band saw. I cut my extenders and didnt notice till I was drilling the 5th one that they weren't cut straight. I threw them in the scrap barrel and came home for the day. going to see what I can do with it when I get more time and patience.

Good luck!

Today I put on the carb and intake. I had to make another dent in the tank to get it to clear the ginormous carb. Got the other tire mounted and put on. I also made a bracket to hold the coil and the oil cooler. I have to look into the front wheel a little further. There is something in there making noise like a bearing is bad, but I just put brand new ones in it. Going to look into that when more time is available. Any who here are some pics.



EDIT" I figured out why the front end was making noise. I forgot to tighten the bolts that hold the front wheel to the hub. DUH!!

Does the carb fit better facing the front? On my Piranha 140 mine is facing the rear but I elongated the holes in the intake where it bolts to the head. This way I can tuck the carb right up against the frame and then a few whacks with a the tank fits, and the choke lever is easy to reach.

[hoosierlogger]

Yeah it fits better facing forward on mine because I stretched the frame 3" If it werent stretched out the air filter wouldnt fit. I tried every position I could possibly put it. I even considered cutting the manifold in two and re-welding it back together, but the Mikuni was just too big for it to work any way but facing forward. This SOB has an enricher instead of a choke. It needs to raise up and the lever just wasnt going to work under the tank. Plus I needed a place to put the oil cooler.

Wait til you ride it, you won't quit smiling. Ya my frame is stretched too about the same as yours. I have an atc 110 motor in a 70, there is a tight fit.

Hell I was grinnin from ear to ear just sitting there drinking a beer looking at it tonight.

I have been looking for a free air cr80, I want to put the motor in a 70 frame. I built my big bore 110 powered 70 first, then put the 140 in another one, I thought the 110 was quick till my brother and I lined them up side by side. I was on the 140 and I am about 40 lbs heavier and I was able to beat him on the 110 every time. Now I want to do a two stroke in a 70 frame.

[hoosierlogger]

I am anxious to see how close this 140 will be to my 200x.

[350xx]

I am anxious to see how slow a atc70 is vs my 350x :]

I got a lot done today. I took it to work and worked on it all day. I finished the axle extenders that Steve0916 started for me. Rear stance is now 4 3/4" wider than stock. It was supposed to be 5" but the band saw didnt cut the round stock straight. Steve put them in his lathe and got them squared up for me. He also bored the hole through them for me. I tapped them and welded them up. I also Welded on some brackets for the coil and oil cooler,hooked up the oil cooler, coil, rear brakes, welded up the broken steering stop, And got it wired. I now have spark. I have to figure something else out for the oil cooler Ill be damned if I didnt put the SOB high enough where it could hit the friggin gas tank. Probably just cut another piece to bolt on to the bracket and the cooler instead of cutting it off and re welding it now that the wiring is all done. Ill get some pics up in the morning. I am going to work on it all day tomorrow too. Hopefully I can be riding it by the evening. (if the foot pegs I bought get here)

Did you get the kill switch all figured out then? Just in time for some snow rides...
