Ok here goes stonehenge. I parked the 70 for about 3 years and now its time to ride it again. I cleaned the carb and everything is now flowing some gas again. I bought a new elbow that goes onto the spark plug because the the other one was cracked. Now I can't seem to get spark. About after 30 pulls I only get about 2 or 3 strong sparks. The rest of the time nothing New plug, new elbow, new gas, and clean carb! need help. Anyone?
Thanks Ray

p.s. Stonehenge, Iwork at UPS, see you often...help!

I would look directly at the plug wire. Maybe you aren't connecting onto the spark plug properly with the new elbow or maybe there is a loose connection where the clip is clamped onto the end of the plug wire.

Ck that and replace your points and condenser. Ck all your connection also...

I've got to find a pulley today so I can get to the points. Then I'm hoping to find a new plug wire today. My son wants to play on his old bike for his birthday weekend this saturday Not that I would touch it at all
Ray

BTW he got a ride back in a subie baja with 3 hotties Wish he knewhow to ride my 250r at age 6. I went and got new points and after about an hour got it dialed in and I now have spark Tomorrow carb goes back on and its all mine.
Thanks for the help Ray


Wish the points were as easy to get to as an old Chevy..... These 70 points suck!

Gotta keep those pigs running!

Hey you 70 guys and Dallas , will points close after sitting for a period of time or do they close from wearing out after years of use? I've never had to deal with anything that used points.

as in my other post. would a 2 stroke bike from the early 70's have points? and if so, where do i find them?

Not sure about older 2 strokes, what kind of bike? And yes and no on the points closing up. If they are dirty and moisture is a factor, sure the gap can close. Most just clean and re-gap, but they are so f-n cheap for aftermarket, just go new.

I'm sooo jazzed! Ray (Dmax) got the bike running yesterday, but has been too busy to post. Now I have something to ride this weekend since the little guy took over my quad and the rail is down.

Ray sold the ATC70 cause it was too much to handle...

That's some funny s*** right there!!!!!!

I could of had that thing running in about 10 minutes.

I didn't sell. Crsty is trying to stir the pot.

I was bored and looking at old topics started by buddies.


Dude?...you still have that ATC70?.....Interested in selling?
I could use another one.....

Old topic from the OLD guy. Sorry Uncle Ray!

El Viejo!

Damm....well...I need to up my stockage of honda's.
Looks like i'm getting my old ATC200s back....would be nice to have another small bike...

I simply like to have plenty of Hondas for the kids to ride.

Thanks Eddie.
