Honda Trail 70, 90, + Fox Mini.

[B.M.800]

So some of you may have seen I got ahold of some bikes, a Honda trail 70 4 speed, a Trail 90, and a Fox Thunderbolt minibike... and flying lawnmower...

Hopefully, I can get them all running. Well see.

The Fox has a 5hp Tec with a TC, I plan to sorta restore it. Try to keep the colors the same, silver engine black frame and chrome fenders and headlight bucket.

The engine turns over then gets stiff, gona take the head off and see whats down there.

The honda 70 turns over, is pretty much complete, and I think will be the first to run. Doesnt have a key though, but that shouldnt be too big a problem. Need to get an air filter for it. Got the carb off to clean it up.
After I get everything running, Ill try to clean it up and get it nicer looking.

The trail 90 might have the biggest issues. The gears all turn, but the motor does not. Not sure if that has something to do with the clutch or kickstart. I hope is nothing too costly.
This one could be road legal, Ill shoot for that in the future...


Ill try to keep this updated.

Thats the best part, these didnt cost me a penny. My friend wanted some rocks for his koi pond. Still need to get a few more loads to him, but we have no shortage of rocks.
Hoorah.

But yeah, Ill need about 10 of em to build a hovering riding lawn mower, doubles as a water hover craft so I can go across anywhere instead of having to use a bridge!

Yeah, good stuff. He said he wanted to fix em up, but didnt have time with collage and all.


Anywho, need to get spark plug for the lawnmower. Doesnt seem to have spark.

Like all the crap I dumped out of the air cleaners? Blasted mice...
And the stinking screw there, stripped out, any ideas you wonderful bunch of people?
What would be the best way to clean up the air filter housing there? Just wire wheel it?

Oh, and dont fool with lawnmowers, they break themselves... what wheelies? I dont know what your talking about.

Re: Stripped screw.
Tip #1. It's not a phillips head, it's a pozidrive (no, seriously)

Best idea is an impact screwdriver but, be careful not to crack the casing

 

[gvfc2]

use an extractor bit?

 

[B.M.800]

We supposedly have an impact screwdriver... now If we can actually find it.
One of the shop rules? Not being able to find what you need when you need?

 

[kendelrk]

if the head is starting to round out, find a torx bit that fits snug, usually works

If you can get the 70 working and the 90, all Cleaned up, these will bring a good price in e bay, more then enough to buy parts for a project. Great bikes!!!!! PS had a 50 when I was a boy.
