ATC 70 Motorswap People needed

[90guy]

Hey guys,
I'm going to be picking up an atc 70 in a couple weeks, The trikes in really nice shape but the owner said the motor smokes a little on start up. I was dinking around and came across the hondaat70 site. Its about the same price to put in a new motor compared to rebuilding the stocker. I was wondering would the pirahana 140 fit without any really big mods? Or am I going to have to put a piranaha 125 in it? Thanks in advance guys!

My 125 Lifan fits ok, rubs the front fender a tiny bit... I would imagine the 140 rubs a good bit. My 125 hauls my fat butt around with no problems whatsoever.

My son has a piranha 125 in his 70. A 140 will not fit unless you stretch the frame. The 125 hauls pretty good. We had to trim the frame just a touch and I cut the front fender because it rubbed. Other than that it bolts right in.

We have a Piranha 140 in our 70, and it fit without stretching the frame. Just had to remove the front fender.

Hmmm got some options. I would love the 140 I just want this little machine to haul! :cool: lol

If your going to put a 140 in it, I would strecth the frame 2". It sure makes it a lot easier & funner to ride. You can also get offset handlebar risers, and extended footpegs- " 2 inches farther forward then stock & alittle lower ".
I put the Piranha 150 E-start in one of my 70's, The Happy Button is very nice.

My lifan 140 is a real tight fit in my 70... Front fender is going to have to be custom cut, carb clearance is going to be needed to clear the tank, ad to do a little grinding just to get the motor hung in the frame...

Hmm not to bad of work to fit the motor in it. I don't want to do any frame extending. I want to keep it the frame stock. Attempt to keep it as stock as possible.

a pirahna 140 will fit into the stock chassis if you trim the back side of the front fender.

That's what I was hoping to hear. Thank you

here is mine with a yx150, which should be around the same size. no frame stretch but the carb was a difficult fit (pwk28 flatslide)

how hard is to start the 150cc with the pull start?

It can be tricky. I use both hands its almost like kicking over 350x you got to find the right. Stoke. If you don't it will let you know.

[hoosierlogger]

you could probably turn the fender around and get it to fit without cutting it.
