Father and daughter atc70

[titan]

Last year a mate dropped of a very abused (used) ATC 70. I may have posted but can find it if I did. This was given to us to do as we wanted, but mainly for my daughter to cut her teeth on. We started stripping it back last year but she lost a bit of drive.

This weekend I didn't have much on so we dragged it in the work shop and I got to work.

Stripped it completely to the frame. Then I borrowed a mates blasting cabinet and shot blasted most of the bits that would fit. I then cleaned and sanded what wouldn't. Now it sat mocked up ready for the next phase.

The plan is one of two

Restore it..

Or make a drift trike. That will involve fitting a pit bike front end, go-cart rear wheels and a 140cc put bike engine.

Time to have a think

Drift trike would mean finding a place to use it with tarmac but no security.

Get it working again and rag it round the fields. Ykims

One of the problems with Wales is they have zero tolerance for illegal riding off road but there is loads of old runways you can use almost 180° on everywhere else

The knuckles are because I was playing around with some camera stuff for some graphics for my van and trying to get the right amount of contrast on the used look.

Thinking about it today I may use the engine. It's not the original ATC 70 which would be worth quite a bit. Not only that I think sticking a 140cc engine might be too much for the kids.

Anyway I tore it apart. I need to replace the kicker, all gaskets, and give it a good clean but generally it all looks good. So if nothing else will do for now.

You could always make a throttle stop for the big engine

Today I grabbed a Chinese bike a mate had sat in his garage. It has the same style clone engine but 110cc so that will do. It does have extra bits too only issue is the carbs won't fit so first snag to work out.

The C70 engine is stripped and cleaned it needs a few parts of I'm going to use it later on.

So this weekend I fitted that engine, then took it out again because the carb wouldn't fit with the electric starter. Then sold the bike to be told you can buy a £3 adapter plate to swivel the carb. So I made the seat. I know we don't do chequer plate round here but what else am I gonna use it for ???
