    Found my project for this spring!!

    Just scored a Honda CT70 K0 on craigslist from a kid that is joining the army and wanted to dump all his stuff. Sale came with four costco size bins and a large box full of new and old parts for dirt cheap. It'll take a few days to inventory all the parts but so far it I can see the frame and...

    K0 footpeg and kickstand repops anywhere?

    Mine are okay but bent all to hell so the foot brake and gear shift don't fit as they should. Had I noticed before powder coat I would've made an attempt to straighten them out, though not sure how I would do it.

    Carb tuning help

    When I throttle in 2nd then engine bogs down a bit but then smooths out as I get going faster, same thing with 3rd. Am I correct in thinking the engine is starved? I tried moving needle clip down and it helps a little but then my plug gets charred. Any suggestions? I have the air screw out 1.5...

    Shift fork question

    Ordered a left shift fork from Dr ATV that they claim fits my bike but the part doesn't look the same as the one I have on the cylinder. Before I return it I wanted to check if it's possible that this one would work. Notice the ends of the fork have a wide teeth on them and the new one is...

    88cc kit question

    I've been reading up about the 88cc kit, bigger cam and stiffer valve springs. When I first started restoring the bike I was content to just keep it a 72cc. After riding the clone with a 110cc I'm craving more power but not if I'll need a new exhaust and airbox. From what I've read I can get...

    Honda ct70 clone score

    Looked way better in the pics but not a bad score for $400. Something cheap for the wife to ride around on. It fired up and ran when I tested it put but I'm not sure how, the plug is black and smells like a gas station, the battery is dead and the carb is leaking like a sieve. It's got some...

    Honda CT70 clone for $475 in great shape

    https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/d/honda-ct70-clone-lifan-125cc/6333113745.html Think I can find parts for this thing? Are the parts swappable with real Honda parts. Needs new speedo and tail light lens. For the price of the engine you get the whole bike. Nice to have a bike for my...

    Help with recently restored engine.

    First start up after the engine tear down. This carb is a repop from chpmotorsports. Seems like the engine only runs on choke, so maybe I need a bigger pilot. Does it seem noisy to anyone else? Shifts through the gears fine though I can't seem to find the neutral. Down shift makes the gear move...

    This deal too good to be true?

    Contacted a guy on CL about a 72 ct70 which looks complete but by no means perfect for $800. He said he also has a 71 CL175 scrambler with title and wants to sell them both for $1500. He said both bikes are fouling the plug but will start and run with a new plug for a bit. Seems like maybe...

    Did you know they still make the z50 in Japan?

    http://www.honda.co.jp/Monkey/ They're selling the 50th anniversary version there now. Apparently you can import one but it won't come with a title since they don't use them in Japan. Pretty neat.

    Help with an old mini bike issue.

    I spruced this late 60s sears roper up that I scored for next to nothing on CL. After messing around with lots of different engines and carbs I landed on the predator 212 and lots off upgrades. Billet flywheel, upgraded valve springs, Billet crank arm, autolite spark plug and a real mikuni vm22...

    Complete Ct70 71 nearby.

    https://baltimore.craigslist.org/mcy/d/1971-ct70/6252678008.html Is this worth the asking? Just curious really. If I could polish it up and make a buck or two I might jump on it.

    Engine reassembly werp

    Hi all, have a two questions - is there a better manual for reassembling the 72cc engine than the service manual from chpmotorsports? Not as much info in there as if hoped and my engine is in a thousand pieces. Also is there a more recent recommendation for engine and wheel paint? Searched the...

    Scored a free trail 70!

    Think it's a '70-71 since it has a clutch. Motor isn't seized. Garage kept and no gas in the tank. A repent has chewed through the battery wires and it painted black, other than that it looks great. Order an oem muffler, battery and new ignition to see if she's starts up. Would love some...
