Hi;
I hope you guys can help before I go any further
on the removal of the points on the 82 ATC70.
I removed the pointing **** that indicates NEUTRAL
position. then removed the phillips screws that
hold the recoil and chain guard.

Next, I left the 4 bolts on that hold the recoil
mesh plate, and only removed the center nut
holding the drum assembly on.

Next, I used a small puller to pull the drum
from the center shaft.

Here's the problem.. I attempt to slowly pull the
drum off (hoping the points are underneath) and
I am getting pullback pressure like there is something
that is holding. I am afraid something will spring out
and become lost (like a watch mechanisim).

Is it just the magnetic force I am feeling??

If so what should the gap be?

Thanks

 

I am having the same problem with removing the flywheel on my ATC 70. Was wondering if you now know what the fix is?

 

I thought by 82 the 70cc motor had cdi, but i might be wrong.
The flywheel has magnets in it, because thats the stator, so the flywheel should just pull straight off the end of the crank.
If for some reason you find points there, all the single cylinder honda motors have a .012" -.016" gap on the points.

 

can I replace the points with
a cdi unit?
which one?
where to get it?
Thanks
George
