I had a 73 Pinto back in the day like the one in this photo...Never gave me any problems and was fun to drive. I had the white and orange hatchback for several years and could fit my Honda 70 inside when the back seat was folded down. Sold to a buddy and he dropped in a V6 and five speed from a...

Looks like a house of cards..One good shake and it would fall into pieces.

Yep you better grab that one before I decide to make the one hour trip from Nashville and buy it myself.:devil2:

Have you tried wiring the black wire that comes out of the left side of the engine case directly to the long black wire that goes into the coil?

Turned out to be a beautiful clear day so I thought I'd give my Honda CT70's a wash and wax. The black is a 1978 and the red is a 93. The 78 sports a KO 1970 chrome Exhaust and polished engine cases and the 93 has a K2 chrome muffler guard and aftermarket luggage rack. Both are tagged and titled...

What ever it is it has a Honda CT90 muffler and luggage rack on it

Wow. Did anyone get killed in that wreck? Not yet...No way in H**L I'd touch that death trap.

Just add a mower deck and you'll have a fine little sulky.:shrug:

Elementary Watson..Case closed

I own four CT70's between 1970 and 93. Your head tag with the build date is not matching up with your vin number. You might want to check the vin number on the frame itself. That's stamped on the lower left side above the engine case. The Silver Tag CT70's were the built during the first three...

Maybe the forks were to slow for the frame?

Get a vat and dip the whole thing in PB Blaster for a month? :shrug:

That's something I was hoping to find out. The metal tag on the engine plate says JC Penny model 5306 by BIRD. I figure early 70's. I was real lucky with the engine and clutch. All I had to do was clean the carb and tank and it started right up. Took me more time to sand off the surface rust...
