dunefreak Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 no wonder it didn't run Over T-day weekend the 70 decided to crap out on me. It fired up but only made it half way around camp before it quit. Poor Gino and Grimace couldn't ride it either. :angry2: I kinda thought it was from the gas tank rust getting down into the carb and sure enough..... I got the carb all cleaned out and soaked the tank in Muriatic acid and it now looks as good as new. Just gotta put it all back together now. Gonna need another 12 pack to do that. Damn...lot of work for such a little azz bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand_YFZ Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 That was how my oem tank and carb looked on my trx70 too..I put a plastic gas tank on it.Those metal gas tanks can get real crappy inside especially when they sit with gas in the tank and carb for years before people sell them,lol.

dunefreak Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well I finally got this thing back together. Runs great however it leaks gas from every damn seal I touched on the carb. Old azz things were just too dried out I guess. Looks like I gotta order up some carb gaskets and seals now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushjunkie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 saw some carb rebuild kits on ebay that might have all the seals if i remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well I JUST about got her dialed in. I got the carb rebuild kit through DRATV.com That place rocks. It was only like 20 bucks. Those old azz seals were junk. wtf was I thinkin trying to re-use them. I guess I was too excited. Got it all back together and no leaks......EXCEPT for the god damn petcock now. It's leaking from the actual valve out the front! WTF! No biggie though. I ordered 2 of em off ebay (brand new for 6 bucks a piece) I love these things! I wish sandcars were this cheap to fix! leaky petcock.... (I laugh every time I say that word "hu hu...hey Beavis......" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Here's a couple more things I did so far to hook it up new seat cover and new rod ends. Mine were fuggin SLOPPY and made all kinds of noise when you'd hit bumps. I scored a brand new aftermarket set off ebay for 45 bucks! Not bad either considering new OEM ones through Bike Bandit or wherever would run $45 a piece (x4)! Got the new seat cover installed and degreased the motor... All cleaned up... time for the new rod ends... Like my bike stand? Coleman makes some super bitchen ones. I'm gettin there. Just waiting on the fuel valve/ "hu huh" petcock By Feb 28th it should be DIALED and ready to put the spank on all those ATCs at the regatta! :stir: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randog Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Right on Frizzz! Your 70 qWad is lookin' sharp. dratv.com does rock. I've dropped some coin with them. You're enjoyin' that fuel shut-off valve a little too much there buddy. :bert: ........ Hey if I bring my 70 up can I drain my oil on your driveway too. What's with all dat chit under it on the concrete? Get-r-done bro. Mine's regatta ready! Yeay-yo R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
