My 1983 ATC110 Build

[KI4UJO]

Ok, so I actually got to work in a garage today! Well, actually just part of a garage, but it still counts. I needed to swap forks over to the replacement frame, as the old fork was warped. I started here

And ended up here

It's not much of an update, but at least it's something. Tomorrow, I should be getting chain tensioner parts, along with re-seating the shifter shaft. I'm going out of town again next week, but there's a good deal on a Big Red where I'm going, so I may come back with something.

[KI4UJO]

I drove it today, for about 20 minutes. In those 20 minutes, I: discovered that my motor dumps oil from the bottom of the bore, and where the bore meets the head, found out that I need to get a tire plugged, and broke my master link. So, I can say that I drove it in its restored form, but unfortunately stuff just keeps breaking.

[KI4UJO]

Well, it's really close to being done. It now shifts, and the chain issue is fully resolved. I would have a ride video, but my yard is a big mud hole and my tires aren't exactly boggers. Also, the tire can't be plugged, as it has too much dryrot.

Yes, I hit a tree at the end.

I haven't updated this in a while, so this is a good place to restart. As you probably noticed, I never really finished this trike. Honestly, it was never what I wanted. Though it ran decently, it still had a tire that went flat along with repaired plastic that ripped out. So, I drug this home saturday.

This frame will receive this 110's motor, tank, front fork, and plastics. As for the ripped rear render, I used the wrong type of plastic rod. It has now been repaired. Trust me, I TRIED to rip it, and could not do it. So, it is now undergoing more bodywork and will be reshot. I am also sourcing another recoil. This frame that my "83" is on now will return to its existence as an 81, using my collection of 110 spare parts. So, by the end of it, I will have an 85 110, and an 81 110. I really should change the title of this thread at some point. Anyway, here is a preview

You have been very busy on your 110 and is looking really good........the last step is put the 200x front on KEEP POSTING
the pictures You have a very cool thread...........Ol Deuce

[KI4UJO]

I do like your 200x front end setup, it's actually my background. So, continuing on with my Mostly 85 110. As of last night, it was here

Tonight, I got motivated and ended here

I know the plastics are bad, but they're temporary until the rear fender is finished so that I can do the front.

Also, a preview of my next build. It's going lower...


Ride Video Tomorrow (Hopefully)

[KI4UJO]

Ok, so no ride video. My day was a complete washout, I was only able to ride for 10 minutes. I did get a replacement tire, so I'll see if I can get it on the wheel.

[KI4UJO]

We'll, I'm late as usual. However, I have got a lot done. At this point, the trike is fully rideable, and has 3 tires that hold air.


Who doesn't love OEM rubber

Also, the rear fender is coming along


The current trike lineup

That's it for now. A thread is coming on the 81 soon...

[KI4UJO]

Well, the Chinese knockoff carb causes more issues than it's worth, so I ordered a rebuild for the original carb. After cleaning it, I ended up here

Which became this

Tomorrow, I'll get it installed and dialed in. Hopefully it'll solve all of my running/starting issues.

[KI4UJO]

Well, the carb didn't solve the problems. It just helped me deny the inevitable, that I needed to go back in the motor. So, I rolled it in to the shop yesterday. Also, I've plasti-dipped the plastics since the last time you guys saw it.





After pulling the motor, I found several problems. The gas spraying from the carb was determined in another thread to be intake valve problem, which ended up being correct (The intake valve was not sealing). Luckily, I have another head that can go on.



I took more photos today, but for some reason they didn't save. What I was going to show was the freshly painted left side cover and Hi/Low cover. Also, in other news, I passed my drivers' test today! In true triker fashion, the first trip's going to be to the Honda dealer for intake and exhaust studs. Also, I'll be spraying the pull start tomorrow, as well as coating the exhaust with a high temp manifold coating. Top end gaskets and a new ring set (Oil rings were bent by me last time, it was my 1st attempt at building a motor)are on order and will get here later this week. Lastly, I think the thumb throttle has to go. It may be replaced with this

I love the gold wheels! Great choice.. Thanks for posting the brand and colors you used. Also what's plasti-dip on the plastics? Thanks.

I like reading of your ATC 110 restoration progress. It motivates me to continue my own ATC 110 restoration. I can learn from your experiences, repair practices and methodologies.

I used E-6000 construction adhesive to reinforce the lower surface of crack-repaired ATC 110 rear fenders. My fender tops still show the cracks though.

Your rear fenders were in much worse condition. The left fender had a large hole but is now completely filled in.

What did you use for plastic filler material? What is the white coating material?

[KI4UJO]

The plasti dip that I used is this - https://www.dipyourcar.com/product.p...8&cat=8&page=1. I just bought it at lowes, for around $5.99 a can. It took 2 1/2 cans to do the front and rear (You could technically do it with less, but it starts to splatter when you get to the bottom of the can). I just cleaned them, and layed them on a small workbench and sprayed them.

For the huge hole, It was a multi step repair process. What I did was to cut pieces from a junk fender, and then melted them into the back of this fender using a heat gun. The issue for repairing them comes in the filler. There is no filler that I know of that is polyproplene compatible. So, I used a flexible automotive filler and laid it on heavily on top of the repair. This was in the fall. Over the winter, I rode it with the unpainted repaired fender. The filler slowly cracked out through the large rip, while the plastic held. At this point I realized that attempting to paint them would not work. To clarify, I can get the pant ti flex and stick, but it's not worth doing since the filler cracked out. So, I just dipped them.

I need to take some more photos, but the motor build's coming along well.
