Hellro, I have a 73 ct70 3speed auto, when i am in 2nd gear it will slip in and out of gear when it is under a load or not. It is not a stripped gear or a slipping clutch, it feels like the clutch engages the disengages. The clutch is great and it does not do it in 1st or 3rd...

JH, I am over in western Massachusetts, zip 01030, I have a 73 in pretty good shape, It is not restored but cleaned up. I just put on a brand new carb, tires, tubes and painted the rims/hubs. I am in the process of getting a title, I should have it in 2-3 weeks. I am looking for $1200. I will...

Thanks I did a search and it came back with "to many results" I do appreciate your help. Fran

What engine oil do you recommend for a stock 73 CT70. Thanks, Fran

Any updates??? I am curious if there are any updates on the winter CT70? I am definately making a summer project for one of these. I'm thinking a lifan 110cc for the extra power. Any info on the assembly, welding ect would be appreciated. Fran

Update, I just put on a brand new 19mm car and BINGO, it runs virtually perfect. I have a 10mm compression adapter coming in today and I will complete a compression test and let you know what I come up with. Thanks for all the help. Fra

Excellent point, I will get a compression check done so I can post it here for future troubleshooting. I believe you are right with complete top end. The bike is new to me with 4350 miles and stock bore. The bike is 100% original so I assume it has not bee rebuilt yet. Thanks, Fran

Update I fixed the vacuum problem, checked the timing (it is correct), checked the jets and they are clean, adjusted the carb, and even with the idle adjusting screw all the way in, it will barely idle and it sputters instead of a nice clean idle. I am noticing some blue smoke, it maybe low...

I sprayed carb cleaner on the head and manifold area and it quit right away, I pulled the intake and replaced the gaskets and it did the same thing?? big air leak somewhere. I am going to pull the carb, intake and make sure the mating surfaces are not bent/warped. I will also check the timing...

Thanks, The picture is the brass airline I am talking about, I think I will just ust itas parts and replace it entirely, Anyone got a spare stock carb for a 73 CT70?? F.hoban@comcast.net Cell (413) 657-3415 Fran

Clarification If you were to remove the aircleaner and look into the carb there is a very small brass tube, I think it is the feed to the Idle jet but I am not 100% sure. Either way this brass inlet is only 1/2 the length it is supposed to be. Thanks for the help

Hello, I just picked up a used carb and the small brass tube on the air inlet side is damaged, I had to open it up with a super small phillips screwdriver. It is opened up to normal size, but it is shorter than it should be, by 1/2,. Any ideas if this will effect it? I know carbs are sensitive...
