Nice job!!!!!! In today's "instant" world it's tough to teach patience and you do a great job of it. In the shop we run into too many teens jacked up on energy drink who want to ride NOW. Some of the adults are no better, yesterday we had a customer drop off a machine as we opened and called back 3 hours later to find out how we made out repairing it. Usually our machine count varies between 3 and 4 dozen machines in 2 separate buildings not counting engines in for rebuild on the bench. How did we make out, great, I pushed it into the main building between a Polaris Ranger with A-arms torn off in a wreck, and a Grizzly 600 that came in last year and the old timer wants it fixed but doesn't have much money for repairs so we're scrounging used parts as cheap as we can find them. Today I ride around the property until it gets dark.
agree 100% about parts. I wanted a spare upper end for a 350x. found a 350d for cheap. pulled the top end, and a few other parts, scrapped the rest. bought a spare atc70 motor, exh and airbox for 50 bucks just to have as a backup.
You could always name it RustyRed, te he. Well I am glad to see your project is coming along keep up the good work and you will be riding it before you know it. Love what you're doing keeping these old machines alive. They're awesome at bug control because of the smoke always loved that part. Plus the smell of a two stroke theirs nothing like it. God Bless my friend have a good one...
If you go across the yard in first gear( you gotta run along side and get it rolling then jump on and put it in first) about 3/8 throttle and rapid fire hit the rear brake with the clutch handle squeezed it'll bust loose
Hey now the only way my lt250s was getting ridden without getting covered in mud was with 5 gallon bucket rear fenders. I looked for over a year for a set any where I could think. It was either modify the ltr450 fenders to fit or rivets and a 5 gallon bucket. But after over a year looking I finally got rid of to another collector and he now can't find them either 😁. I did warn him though and he said he was willing to take the gamble. Great work on the 250r though
I payed 250 for the tank mount it was only one on eBay at the time then 400 for seat latch and the other mount that goes on the seat honestly I know I paid a lot but I would do it again
And lil tip for stuck clutches just zip tie clutch lever to keep it engaged it should free up after three days or week depending on how bad it is , hope this helps
This is great info, I particularly liked your thoughts on the process of building up a machine. How do you keep all of those ATCs running? If I leave my 225DX alone for three days it doesn't want to start.
in need of help can you take clear pictures of your brake set ups and reply with them working on a 84 atm looking at getting my brakes back together correctly
Go to www.partszilla.com look at the exploded view of the brake, that will get you part numbers too. The manual is free to download you can use it as a reference. www.oscarmayer.net/atc/manuals/
Hello, the inside of our fuel tank in our big red Honda atc 200 is completely rusted, do you think that will require us to replace it or is it okay as it is?
you can get a great cover from cosmic quads or a good cover on amazon, you can get an entire seat base/foam/cover (used) on ebay, or online 3 wheeler forums like Hondahoarders on Facebook or www.3wheeler.com
I have found working the clutch a few times before a ride seems to eliminate the sticking. May be just new. Idk. After a lap its free with no issues the rest of the day
