Title: My new babies... ATC 70's
Post by: Wes350x on October 21, 2013, 07:24:24 PM
Picked the first one up from a friend and and it came with an extra roller frame. Ended up having to buy a new carb for it since the original was shot. Changed the rear decals and put a new seat and a with a little tuning it runs great.  It's a 1985.

I picked my next (1984) one up not running but in good condition. Even came with a new front tire. I pulled the tank off to find a bent frame, pretty common on these and easy to fix though. The tank is awesome, no dents and very minimal rust in it, which is hard to come by.

So cool....do you know how the rear axle bearings come out on a 84 70?
Title: My new babies... ATC 70's
Post by: Wes350x on October 21, 2013, 08:49:07 PM
Nope, but I'm sure I'll find out lol. I downloaded and printed the honda service manual for the 85 recently. Shouldn't be different.

Please keep me updated when...or if you pull the rear axle bearings.

rear bearings are very easy,,  the axle nuts hold the axle in  pull the hubs and the sleeves ,, the sprocket and brake drum just slide on the axle,, and it slides right out of the bearings,,,   bearing house numbers on the bearing is 6006

Was just at a buddy's house tonight and he just picked up 2 of them.  One cherry 83 for 200 bucks and the other 83 is a project.  He is going to make a Christmas clone out of it.  He said they only made about 350 blue ones back in 83.

Yea, the blue Christmas ones were awesome. Im slowly buying parts for the 84 to get it running in top shape again. Thinking about buying the CDI conversion for one of them and see how it works out.
