First comment!!
Nice!
I remember getting a brand new 1982 model for my 9th birthday, dad stopped on his way home from work and paid for it, $660 out the door, came home and picked me and mom up, took us for surprise trip to the Honda shop, had me ride it around the lot, I was like a pig in 💩 riding around that lot, dad waved me over to the truck, him and salesman loaded me and the trike into the truck!! Almost cost him his marriage, especially after month or so watching me tear up the yard and we went to the Yamaha shop and brought home a 1983 225DXL, only because 200x’s had six week back order, and that led to some of my best memories growing up, me and dad “going riding” down at the state park couple times a week, for couple years til little sister came along…. Oh the memories!! Love what you are doing, would like to try my hand at it too, just too broke in a rut working as a paramedic!! Good luck on the run to 10,000!! Thank you!!
Thank you Brian, Thanks for sharing your memories with us, you brought back a few of my own.
Great video brother!
I recently picked up a 1983 Honda 70 for $150 and my boys and I just got it running at Trike Fest 2022!
It’s a fun little guy!
The price went from $150 to $1000 just for getting it running with an oem carb and I also went around Trike Fest and found oem fenders at a great price!
I believe I’ll be holding on to mine and do a full restro on it to make it look just like my 86 250sx.
Thanks again MRC Builds!
You’re the best brother!
Hey Jason, Sounds like you had a great time at TrikeFest, I have to get up there one day. Yes these little bikes can add up quick, but they are so much fun, like their bigger brothers tank, seat and fenders is where the money is. I just put a new seat on mine, I am thinking of holding it till Christmas, the sell even better then.
Its amazing 37 yrs old a few tweeks fires rite up. I remember back in the early 90s spring cleanup people would clean there garages and barns they'd throw them away on the side of the road I'd drag them home fix them up and sell them for a profit eventually had enough money to buy a 350x those were the days before the internet alls we had was the bargain news those were the days. Great video keepem coming I always enjoy..
Thank you Danny, yep I think it's a little harder to find them now. The internet let's us cover more distance faster in that regard. I treat each one like it's own puzzle, it's my job to figure it out. The real challenge is not to spend to much in the process. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic!!!!!!! As soon as the vid started I wrote down $300 is what you paid for the little guy, not far off. Right in the middle of the vid I got a call from Harvey about a 200x piston I picked up for him plus more info about a Honda Rancher with a plow going up his way after I finish it. Now the seat base looks like all the triangular tabs are rusted off so attaching a cover will be tricky. Try to hold the foam and cover in place and use self tappers, or mount a plastic base seat directly to the metal one. Or trim up some foam to fit the base, hold it down with shrink wrap and use a generic cover with elastic around the edges to hold it in place. High density foam is preferred but if you use normal furniture foam make it three tines as thick and compress it with shrink wrap. Didn't mean to ramble on but I get caught up in the excitement of so many things involving machines going on at the same time, I run until I'm completely out of gas then crash. Great vid.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Finally got my hands on an 85 overpaid but drove to far to come home empty handed. Gonna fix this for my grandkids
It will be worth it in the end to see their smiling faces.
I'm at the perseverance and diligence to acquire knowledge "stage". I'm not gonna keep getting my ass reamed by that mechanic charging me $85.00 an hour! Awesome job getting that ATC 70 running! Again, I learned a lot from this video.
I'm happy to help.
WOW, thanks for all the videos you share with us. My 84 200M would not be where it is today without your videos. I can't wait till the next one.
Glad you like them! Thank you, I am glad I could help.
Awesome find! I got buzzed by 4 wasp today. Clean them up with brake clean in flight! Don't forget about the brake fluid for the stuck stuff on your new bike!
Thanks Earl, great tips
I really like how you go through your diagnosis steps to teach your viewers what to look for! Even though, experienced or mechanically deficient viewers can learn something!
Saw you posting this on Facebook and instagram been waiting lol
Best info on the internet . Glad your here
That might be a stretch, but thank you very much.lol
Hey Man , on that ATC 70 maybe try repairing the fenders with Super Glue and baking soda , I have seen some very impressive videos about repairs done with that method on several different kinds of materials .
Tim from Wisconsin .
Thanks for the tips!
awesome man love the video. thanks i got a 1984 . i got it running after 20 years
Awesome, no better feeling.
Love your Chanel I bought my first three wheeler about 5 months ago 125m and a blue Honda 70 last week.
Welcome aboard! You scored a blue atc70? That's a very valuable trike. most refer to it as a christmas special. Jackpot! Thanks for sharing.
Be careful.. that little 70 will quickly become your most expensive trike! They are ADDICTIVE 👊👊👊
I have a 350x that holds that title so far.lol
I am bigger now and have been riding bigger bikes and i don't care what anyone says, that just looks like a fun time and just puts a smile on my face to see you ride that little thing, just AWESOME MAN! God Bless you my friend! I'm # 93 on thumb up's...
Thank you sir, we are all children at heart if we allow ourselves to be. Some more than others. Lol
That's so damn cute! Great buy!
Aren't they!. Lol thanks for watching and subscribing
Great video
Thank you Barry, back to the basics
It even has the spark plug tool by the rear grab bar those are always missing.
Good eye, that's the first one I have had that has that tool. Thanks for watching
I like all your content I've been watching you for a while now and never miss a new video keep up the great work and you'll definitely get 10 000 subscribers 👍
Thank you John, I appreciate the support
Awesome video and great information. Thanks for the content
Thank you Ray, I hope it helps someone
Cool. I just picked up a 1985 XR 80. Maybe this weekend I’ll pick up that 85 big red. 200
Another one saved! Great video man. Need one like that for my kiddos and my collection. Have a good one brother.
Thanks! You too!
Second comment! Not so bad being second behind the man!
Your in very good company, Sir
That was me when I was 10, 85 atc 70. I would of spent 15 minutes taking that #6 house sticker off especially the number plate light and plate area is the first thing that's looked at
You were a lucky boy, yes the stickers will come off and a seat will be ordered asap. Thanks for watching
@@mrcbuilds funny you said that I hit a car with it and almost died threw up blood mom rushed me to hospital rupturd intestines doctor said another 30 min I could of died
Great Find !! Even has the spark plug tool on the rear of the bike! I have found many ATC 70s but only One still had the spark plug socket and bar still with it!
Hi Phillip, this is the first one I have seen with it. Thanks for watching.
great video !
Thanks mike, that was a fun build.
Thanks to you I've resurrected my 1984 trx 200 ,spent all day on it yesterday its a beautiful machine now ,it runs awesome,I'm going to use it for my landscape business.
That makes it all tax deductible! I wont tell if your dont. Lol that's great, we saved another one!
Man you explained that extremely well, I bet there is people out there that have Atc70s that haven’t run in years and that is the problem and they watch your video they can fix it, I’ve had 3atc70s and it was always the points or condenser. Looking Thu the flywheel isn’t easy ether. I’ve seen people have a extra flywheel cut the center out to set points, I’m so lucky my 86 trx70 is cdi. And the Atc70s look good with a 110 tank to.
Thank you Skyler, I hope my video's help keep these old bikes running another 30 years. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Love the content
Thank you Sir, making my childhood dreams come true, one build at a time.
I have two ATC70's in great condition if you're interested. 1985 and a 1983
Message me on fb or insta.
@@mrcbuilds done!
I have one and recently my 70 went out no spark I replace my coil and spark plug no spark I chk the neutral switch and cleaned it no spark I finally found out the points and worn I sanded it and it works but I just went ahead to order a new rebuild kit
Hey dystopia, yes, eventually you will have to change the points out. Glad to hear you fixed it yourself. Awesome!
Such a wealth of knowledge love your vids bud Question, you have any videos on carb adjustments on the Atc 70?
Naw, just some stuff i picked up along the way. Your base setting you will find in the manual. The fast idle is 2.5 turns out and the air mixture is 1.75 out.
Thanks!
Cool little trike! Some more good info info there! Here is a puzzle to solve. Mrc_builds , " the place where time stands still " 😂 You should do a "will it run " video on your clock 😂.
That clock was a gift, its broken, but It still means a lot to me. Did you not see the Deer Head next to it?
I didn't actually, i will look again hahaha.
I found it, I can't believe I haven't noticed that before. What's it made of? It looks super cool.
@@shanegumpinger8371 knives, forks and spoons
hay man awesome videos
Thanks you snippa, I appreciate the support.
@@mrcbuilds no problem
It looks like MRC Builds is stuck in a time loop the clock always reads 7:13
Thanks for watching. They say its 5 o'clock somewhere. Well here its 7:13. Lol
Any outlet for control cables for these old machines? I have an 87 TRX70 that I need throttle and brake cables for. I am thinking about changing the handlebars and using an aftermarket throttle assembly. Maybe a clutch perch for the front brake.
You can replacement cables on amazon after you get new bars you may need a longer cable if the bars are higher.
I've got that same one I'm working on all original an perfect condition
The hunt for the OE parts is half the fun
@@mrcbuilds this is a very good video it's alot of help thank you!
@@arthurwilliams1922 your welcome, I'm glad there helpful
Funny thing with my son's '82 70 : after sitting for say 3 or 4 weeks it wouldn't start. Checked for spark; no spark when touching the head but spark would jump across when not touching the head (holding plug about 1/2 in. away from the head). With a new plug she starts right up. This is the second time we have experienced this, just wondering if you've seen this before. I think the bike is running a little rich and maybe its carbon on the plug. Haven't heard anyone mention this occurance before. Really great video, I want to check / adjust the valves on the bike. 👍🙂
I would suspect a bad ground either coil to frame or the frame to engine. Thanks for watching
Thats a thought I had too. Thank you so much !
What was the brand of that heat stapler? Love the videos. I have been watching them all since I got back into 3 wheelers a couple months ago
Hey Jared, it's just an inexpensive amazon unit. Be sure and grab some extra staples. Heres a link. amzn.to/3H6IRyH
@@mrcbuilds thank you so much. I just got it from Amazon went right out and worked on my wheeler. Little learning curve but what an awesome tool. Thanks again for your awesome channel. You have saved my *!@ and gave me a great hobby.
Just got my first 1985 atc70 project. The oil dip stick was replaced with a rubber style plug. Any recommendations of where to buy as close to OEM as possible? TIA
No sorry, i bet you can find just the plug for less than 20$ on ebay. Its worth a look. Otherwise check out www.atcheaven.com he carrys a ton of 70 parts.
How did you take off the cam inspection cover? Thanks!
Long 10mm on opposite side of the head, the bolt passes all the way through.
👀
If u plan on getting rid of it let me know. Still looking lol
So I got a couple of ATC 110s. Having a real hard time getting them started. Going to check compression and the valves tonight. My question is how much compression should I have to run and what should the valves be gapped at?
Hi RJ compression need to be 100psi or better to be a good runner, the valves are set at about 8 thousandths. I set them by hand, I want the adjusters just barely touching image a piece of paper sliding between the adjuster and the valve.
@@mrcbuilds I appreciate you and all your knowledge
the dogs for that atc 70 starter will any other dogs work out of another starter ???
They are smaller in the atc70
I have three of these two stock and one with a 125 I’m trying to pull the head of one of the stock ones but I can’t find any information how anywhere.
Look up josh Eule of of vintage honda of orlando, he has a channel and a great website.
What’s your recommendations for a battery for the 1984 200es ? I live in the cold upper peninsula of Michigan! Thanks
Hi George, I have had good luck with this one. amzn.to/3qEwJOo
@@mrcbuilds thank you
Hey man, i live in Sarasota Fl and have a 1985 Honda atc 70 How much would it be to have you do a full resto for me?
Hey ThatBotPlayer, I'm sorry I really do not take on outside work, I keep myself to busy as it is, lol thanks for thinking of me, a fella named Josh Eule owns @vintageminis of Orlando does commission work, and does an excellent job.
@@mrcbuilds Ok, Thank you
What is a good compression number for these?
I would have to check the manual but 120psi would be adequate.
So you’re probably too far from me, but what would you ask for something like that in the condition it’s in at the end of the video? Thanks!
Around 1000, now that it has a new seat on it you could ask 1500.
@@mrcbuilds ok, thanks! I sent you a fb friend request. If you see that, can you message me how much shipping would be? I’ll give you my zip via messenger as well. 👍
so did you adjust the points?
Yes.
@@mrcbuilds I’m having a weird issue. At first I only got spark if I flipped the kill switch on/off while pull starting. So I cut some of the coil off and rested it on the engine to see if it would get spark and I was getting spark Everytime I pulled it. So I put the cap back on the coil and now I’m getting now spark again. How can the spark disappear when I put the cap back on the coil?
@@tee_sin342 sounds like the wire or the or the little post on the coil is not making contact.trim you wire again, make sure the little post in the coil is inserting the wire. And try again. Other things to check. The green wire at the coil is the main ground on that part of the harness. Make sure it clean and making goos contact. Next chech your plug, make sure its incerted in the metal clip in the plug boot and not just beside it. That does happen.
@@mrcbuilds I see that there’s 2 wires coming out of the stator, does that green wire need to be mounted in order to start?
Hey I tried to reach out once before I have a old Honda 73 125 Enduro which I can't get spark through the coil and I got a new coil I got a good stator I think it's the combination 22 points in the coil in a stator I'm getting wrong but if there's anything you can help me with I'd greatly appreciate it
Hi Stephen, I am not familiar with that bike. Do you have the manual for it? always start there, do you have voltage coming out of the stator? disconnect the kill switch completely. is the engine in time? I assume its a points system, are the contacts open at TDC and closed all the rest of the time? are they clean? Have you ran a compression test?, have you adjusted the valves at TDC?
@@mrcbuilds I do not have a manual but thank you for the info and I will try all that and I will let you know tomorrow if if it works which it should thank you very much for the info
@@stephanmccreery221 you can get the manual free online. let me know what you find out
I will thank u very much
