Hoosierlogger's ATC 70 resurection

[hoosierlogger]

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

Yeah the wiring was all screwy. I hooked it all up and didnt get anything to happen. then I realized there were two plugs that would fit the CDI. I unplugged the green connector and plugged in the white connector. Then I held the spark plug wire to the head and kicked it. It shocked me so hard I just about pissed in my pants. Then I took the 2 wires out of the 2 pin connector and touched them together and gave her a good kick and it didnt do anything. found the kill start wires.

There will be plenty of time for snow riding. We have had flurries, but nothing that has accumulated yet.

Here is yesterdays progress. I need to make the lowering bracket for the oil cooler, put on the foot pegs when they get here, cut the fenders and clean the paint off of them, throttle cable, kill switch, and do something with the seat, and finish the rust removal in the gas tank. Ill probably make a 6 pack rack later too.

Looking great! I must warn you... you'll probably be needing a longer shifter. The ATC foot pegs are bent further forward than pit bikes, so the shifter that comes with the motor is too short to get your toes in there. I think I used a 185s shifter and it worked fine. I also shortened some old 90 pegs (had to re-drill mount holes though) and welded 350x foot pegs on top of them... it was a perfect fit.

[hoosierlogger]

Yeah I ordered some 90 foot pegs for it from ebay. I was looking at the shifter and thinking it was going to be too short. I think I have an extra 200s shifter in the shed.

Well I got the rust out of the tank. Now the problem is there are 2 pin holes in the bottom of it. Looks like its off to town to get a brazing rod.

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.

Coming together!
Mine is done except the pull starter. which i doubt i will ever get. so i think i will just do a block off plate/ tupperware lid, on the recoil mounting plate and push start it for now.

Thats looking pretty good. I kind of like the stretched look. I have heard mixed reviews on how they handle like that. Let us know once you ride it.
Holy cow you guys went nutz on the spacers. Very beefy. The ones we make are about 1/2 that in strength.
So you will just run the carb forward then?

LOL yeah I saw the ones on ebay and was going after that style. But after they were done I really didnt like the thought of the 7/8" round stock having an opportunity to twist out of there and break the lug bolts. So I found some steel pipe at work and welded it in between them. It wasnt an exact fit but I think I got them centered up pretty good. If I knew of a stronger way to build them I would have went even more overboard with them. Yup carb is going to stay facing forward. The more I look at it the more I like it that way.

What kind of damage are we going to be looking at for a cover? To be honest I am kind of scared to look at the condition of the seat pan the way things have been going. LOL

30$ for a plain cover in any color.
Add 20$ for 2 logos on the sides, and 5 for shipping.

Anywhere between $35-$55 shipped.
It will go up if you want more designs.

Pan head sheet metal screws and a screwgun work good if the tabs are missing. We make the covers with enough material to go to stronger steel sections if you need it that way.

Thanks Mosh, Ill be getting a hold of you two soon I hope.

[hoosierlogger]

Its alive!!! I bent the pipe to fit tight to the frame, bolted it on, and fired it up today. I didnt ride it very far, just to the end of the drive way and back. Its not the most comfortable thing to ride without plastics or foot pegs. LOL It is definitely lean. I am going to have to open the carb and get a bigger jet on Monday before I ride it too much.

[hoosierlogger]

Still farting with the carb jetting. I think the jetting is right now, but another gas leak in the tank has sprung up. More to come.

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.

Looking good, now thats what I call ram air prob gain like .25hp . keep the pictures/updates/progress coming!
