Hoosierlogger's ATC 70 resurection

[hoosierlogger]

Go get a Kreem kit, and follow the instructions. I had a tank pouring gas out of it, used that and it has been fine for over a year now. I let mine sit with that stuff in it for a few days, and flopped it around out in the sun every few hours.

I used the Kreem in my Harley tank. It SUX!!! I will probably go with the Red Kote (SP?) brand. I have another 70 tank that is pretty bad inside for the one I am going to keep stock. Ill do them both at the same time.


Ive got too much going on right now, so progress is going to be slowed a bit.

Its alive!!! I bent the pipe to fit tight to the frame, bolted it on, and fired it up today.

Pics of the pipe please!

[hoosierlogger]

ill get one up as soon as I can. I am really busy right now.

No I have re-directed my available time into getting me 85 200x back in running order. I took the 140 to an off road park and got to ride it for a whole 10 minutes. I tore the rubber bowl gasket on the carb, so I made one out of some paper gasket material. The gas attacked it and the fibers keep plugging the pilot jet. I am currently searching for the correct bowl gasket. Ill post more pics and possibly a video of it when I get it going good.

Got the tank patched up and everything is on but the pipe and foot pegs (which I havent got yet). Once I find a tubing bender Ill get the pipe done. Probably be riding it Saturday. Ive still got to clean all of the flaky spray bomb off of the plastics and trim the fenders. Then If I can come up with some more money Ill be hitting the Mosh's up for a seat cover.

BTW those arent runs in the third pic. That is oil leaking out of the cap from when I coated the tank with oil till I get gas in it.

that looks pretty cool man.

Well no real further progress on it yet. Life keeps getting in the way. I did buy a better tank off of Bustos82 for it. I also now have to put new brake shoes on it. The liners came off of the base and when you so much as touch the brake lever they lock up tighter than a ticks butt.

I still have yet to touch the 85 200x either. I need more time in a day.

Well a little update here, I changed out the rear brakes, and crapped the transmission all in the same day. Going to tear into it and find out exactly what happened. It wont stay in second gear unless you hold the shifter lever up.

Sounds like the famous shift drum stopper broke located behind the clutch cover !!!!

I wish that was it. I took the clutch cover off and noticed the wheel was on top of the stopper instead of in the groove where it is supposed to be. I thought oh hell yeah an easy fix. Thats when I grabbed the clutch and it moved up and down. The right side case is busted where the bearing sits. This sucks, Ill order the case and get it back together before TrikeFest.

Now it is coming apart.

Hey Hoosier -

Is that the intake that came with the engine, just flipped around? I have a 125 with a top mount starter going into a TRX70 so the carb has to go forward. The manifold that came with it is giving me fits and I'm looking for options.

Also - how did you bend the pipe? Heat and beat? I'm thinking of trying a conduit bender on mine.

Cool project! THanks!

Yeah thats the one that came with the motor. I put it on forward because of a lack of foresight when I put the oil cooler. I had to dent the bottom of the tank to get it to fit, but it went in there. I now have a plastic tank on it and aone of those little discs that will let you put the carb on in about 14 different positions.

And you are correct on the pipe heat it and beat it. I heated it with a torch and clamped it in a vice and pulled on it.

So did you buy a brand new motor and the case already broke? Whats up with that?
