I been workin on my lil 70 the last couple weeks...got it cleaned up new spark plug, fuel lines, air filter, rebuilt carb(thanks 90guy) and 3 new tires. Went to start it up this evening after getting everything put on and no fire. I heard from a few people that its prob the points, how do you go about getting the points cleaned up on these lil guys. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

I would replace the whole ignition with a solid state electronic ignition. Best money I ever spent on my sons 70.http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-CT70-ATC70-SS50-Z50-XL70-CDI-Electronic-Ignition-/380212163713?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5886693481&vxp=mtr

stroberts...I might consider that, dont look like a bad investment! I got looking at the ignition coil and it is pretty rough, I ordered a cheap one off ebay for 13 bucks Im gonna put on there, and if that dont work they have the condensor/points kit Im gonna purchase and see what happens. My local dealer still works on em but for 90 bucks an hour. Really dont want to do that, but its killin me seein it just settin. My nieces are dyin to ride it...hopefully the new coil will do the trick!
