I need ATC 70 help ASAP!!!

[inv3ctiv3]

So I am going to pick up an ATC 70 tomorrow and it's two hours away from me....I have a 1992 BMW 525i Wagon that has about 29" vertically to fit something in the back....The owners manual for the ATC 70 says it is 31.5" tall so if one of you can measure from the ground to the highest point on the trike (handlebars?) and from the ground to the seat I would be soooo thankful! I may just have to take the front tire off or the handle bars to make it fit I just want to be sure.
Thanks

Just loosen the handlebars and swing them down or take the nuts off of the risers and take the assembly off that should gain you about four inches.:beer

let air out of tires that should be plenty of clearance

I do have roof racks don't tempt me! ;)

[bonkers_200s]

I have to be honest, only half of that was a joke. If it came down to it and that was my last option, I'd have a trike ratchet strapped to my roof:beer

drop thebars down and maybe pop the tires off should be good to go

I've never wheelied a glove before:p

I always put my 70 in the trunk with front tire hanging out and tie the lid down.

Although someone said "coil" the points (not even the condenser) are the usual ignition failures.

No one ever greases the back side of the flywheel where the cam runs the points and then the points duration (or period of time it opens and closes) doesn't work right.........

In that case, points won't even fix it (properly) and some people upgrade to the solid state electronics.

Give the carb a good cleaning. Out f the 4 70's I have had. None ran when I bought them. A good cleaning of the carb, new plug and oil, and gas, and they ran. A fine tuning and good as new. Wish i still had all of them.

I fit two of them and a triz in the back of the scion with two suitcases...i think you should be able to fit one little ol bike. lol

I'll look into it, I was hoping I wouldn't have to tear into the motor before trying to start it. I gotta search for the service manual too. I found the one for the 70 and 125, is that the only one?
