Hey boys,
Another beater added to the collection. Nicknamed the the little trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro, I purchased this trike about 2 years ago out in Littlerock Ca which it sat in the desert for more than 15 years as told by the owner. I bought this bike along with 1970 atc90 that I also did a budget resto on for $30 both.
I was going to use the bike originally as a parts bike but couldn't bare to see dismantled so I was able to get some parts it needed for the engine, did a carb rebuild & it turned on the 2-3 pull! I had spare 200S frnt fork so I did a swap & it worked out pretty good. The motor starts up every time but the only issue is when I start it up it smokes for about 5 min they it goes away. Maybe because it was sitting for so long? I flushed the oil & but new one in, adjusted the points, valves & all looks good. I haven't had a chance to open it on the trails so will see. I didn't want to paint the tank because it gives it character & shows the rough life it was exposed to in the cold & hot weather in the desert. I know it no show stopper but its another trike being brought back to life & my 9th total since joining 3WW. Total amount on buget spent $85. Sorry the pics aren't so great.
