Hey guys, I have recently acquired an ATC that I used to ride when I was a kid... My childhood next door neighbor never sold his ATC after all these years and its been sitting in his garage collecting dust. So after years of badgering him I was able to purchase it and I have been working on trying to get her running once more. When I got her she had all three of her tires were completely flat but I was able to air up the two rear ones. Sadly the original tire one the front was completely rotted away .
When I got her, the first thing I did was a preliminary checkover of the entire ATC to see what the overall condition of it was. I found out he left fuel in it which was in a stage of funk I would rather not go into (let's just say it was really bad). Happily though, the tank wasn't rusted in any way but the carb took the major portion of damage. I also found that the rear axle bearings are worn out (prob a common thing I guess) so I will have to address that before I actually do any real riding. Here is a few pictures of it the day I got it.
Now I have made some progress ....did some cleaning and what-not
So After I got her all cleaned out and put back together I made me a little video of her running again after sitting for 20 years... I didn't put the camera on me at all cause I had tears rolling down my cheeks cause it was that emotional for me... This is an honest to god piece of my childhood that I never forgot about and to hear the sweet sound of it running was music to my ears...
