just picked this up from a buddy of mine finally

[powdiddy]

1983 honda 70 . and from what i hear it is the x-mas special because it is blue . got it home rode it around the yard once and then the recoil rope broke eeeeeehhhhhhh . hope the 70 recoil is not a nightmare to take apart and re rope .this will be a b-day present son turns 4 dec 6th and after that he will see his 1990 kitty cat on x-mas lol .pretty good month for him i think . i think i am more pumped about the 70 than he will be hahahaha.

Nice machine!! I'd love to find one!! Great gifts for him!

[powdiddy]

well seat could use a nicer cover . rear fender was cut it looks like and has a piece of rubber for a mud flap . besides cleaning up the rims should be a good lookin machine .

[oldtime3wheeler]

Nice 70 you got there. Might be worth picking up a red 70 for your son to ride and keeping that one safe. I will trade you my blue front fender with a hole in it for your un-damaged one?
Your son will love the 70. Great gift for a kid.

[mollie8000]

some goofball cut my rear fenders the same way

[oldtime3wheeler]

Its a sin when they get cut. Finding an un-cut rear fender can be a long journey.

I just rebuilt the pull start on my 85 70 before I sold it. Never done it before and was really very easy. Just preloading the spring was the only "tricky" part. Just experimenting with how much to pretension the load. Worked like a charm after that.

[remsandpets]

Where in NY are you in? I will be in Rochester NY this weekend visiting my daughter in college.

[Twittle]

Looks nice, makes me want to dig mine out and start working on it again. I bought a new carb for it and still havn't put it on. P.S. I am still looking for some blue rear fenders for mine also.

[kb0nly]

Nice looking rider. He will have a lot of fun with that!

[powdiddy]

I live 15 min north of syracuse

[powdiddy]

Will take it off today and get some new rope.

[dustrunner]

wow, ive been around alot.. but never seen a blue one... nice...might hafta start hunting....

[powdiddy]

fixed the recoil works fine now . that little 70 moves pretty good even with my 225 lbs on it .

[oldtime3wheeler]

Becareful they are very addicting. I had 1 atc70 once. Now I have 4. There were a fedw more, but my friends needed 70's lol

[John jr]

^^^^^^^^, Ha HA Ha, Me to. I had 1, Now I have 4. They are addicting.

[powdiddy]

Yeah would like to get a red one so i can keep this one in good shape.

[powdiddy]

smokes a little when you first start it . guessing the valve seals need replacing . whats the best oil to run in these little 70's ?

[tblumer]

Rotella diesel oil is what I run in both of mine. I have an xmas special that some retard repainted red and put maier red fenders on it. I only can tell by the blue under the tank scratches.

[powdiddy]

any advantage of the rotella oil ? . and do you run yours in the cold ever .

[oldtime3wheeler]

I just use Honda 4stroke oil. I run my 70's all year long

[tblumer]

Yeah I go mob the neighborhood on it in the winter. I just do a good warm up before taking off. The diesel oil doesn't have any friction modifiers,its just good old dino oil. It's cheap for a gallon compared to the 7-8 bucks a quart I just paid for Spectro.

[powdiddy]

sounds good will give it a try.

[Dirtcrasher]

Nice trike! You can't go wrong with Rotella.......
