whats up everyone. its great to be a part of your community. I understand how helpful forums can be and all of my research pointed to this one! I recently bought an 82' Honda 110cc off of craigslist to cruise around the pits at the dirt track where i race. (stock cars) i got it for 350 and put 50 into a tuneup/parts it needed and its running great. its perfect for what i wanted - lightweight and doesnt take up too much space in the back of my truck. i do have some questions though and i also need some advice on possibly purchasing another one. i really did buy that little 110 solely for the purpose of convenience at the track, but dang its fun to ride through the trails of the woods behind my house. and whats better than riding trails - riding trails with a buddy ! so here are my questions and i really do appreciate any info/advice that i might get.
about the 110cc- the part i had to buy was the cam chain tensioner springs, the little screw in tensioner and the bottom bolt with washer. the little silver tube was still in there. so i installed it and it seems great but i cant tell if the slight metalic noise is the chain or the cam chain rubbing. when i say slight, i mean you have to listen real hard for it. and you can only hear it when you rev it up and let off real fast. is that just the chain recoiling a little? and when i installed the tensioner i just screwed it all the way up in there. i understand there is another tensioner that runs horizontal as apposed to the vertical one i installed. any input on the cam tensioner would be great.
on the side with the pull starter , up closer to the seat, there is a splined bolt that comes out and to the left of it is an "N" with a arrow pointing at the little bolt with splines on it. i know this is a prob a dumb question and i have my ideas, but what is that for?
on the carb towards the top , right in the middle, is a nipple with no hose on it, and if you rock the atc gas will trickle out one bubble at a time. i know this aint good, but dont have a manual to figure out what/where to run a hose.
about this 85' for sale- its a ATC ES 200. looks kinda goofy actually. like its a trail trike. anyway its in decent shape. the guy wanted 800, but i offered him 450 so he calls me and says that he used to ride it all the time at his ranch, but he bought a rhino. he said it has a new battery, but it wont start unless you pull it with something and drop it into gear. once running he said you can do whatever you want, go wherever, no prob. he thinks the carb needs to be rebuilt but that makes no sense to me. he said when you try to start it, it will just rur-rur-rur and every now and then you'll get pops (combustion) like it wants to start. what do yall think? and feel free to ask for more info, cause we talked for a while. i just gave the abreviated version.
once again, thanks in advance for anyone that is willing to help abd i plan on learning about these ATC's and passing the help onto others.
