It sounds like it may be running out of gas . stuck float , tap the float bowl with the handle of a screw driver to jar it loose. Plugged vent in the gas cap . Gas can`t run out of the tank if air can`t get in . Test with the cap off. If the problem goes away clean the vent holes. Look in the tank .If you see a small pipe sticking out of the gas near the bottom of the tank ,add gas or switch to reserve. If non of these is the problem ,Turn the petcock to off, unscrew the bowl drain screw on the bottom of the bowl ,catch the gas running out the drain tube in a clean container. When it stops draining turn the petcock to" on" & res. to test the fuel lines & tank outlet are not plugged . If non of this works ,ask again with more info . Good Luck ! Baby Huey

[Honda-C70] Re: new member in auburn, CA
Stephen, sounds like the price was right, and a first gen c70 at that. We're down in Napa. Not quite Auburn but close. The annual CJMC vintage bike show is coming up at the Auburn fairgrounds. Can't remember the date, but do a search and it will come up. There are a few trail 90/110 and trail 55 owners up there, but they are on different groups. We all support the Doc Atv. Once you see the legshield spacers you'll see that they are easily fabricated. For the bottom ones you can use 2 long bolts(approx. 2 3/4") and 4 fender washers, and a tube(2") to take up the gap between the cylinder and the shield. The top ones are just shorter with no tube. Or just buy new from the Doc or eBay. Cool bike. Kyle
P.S. You might try adjusting the clutch after cycling new oil a couple times, as per Baby Huey

The motor, transmission & clutch all share the same oil so an oil change with 4T motor cycle oil that says "for wet clutch " on the label would be a good idea. Modern low fricsion car oil is bad for the clutch. The manual sections at the bottom of the page should help you. Good Luck ! Baby Huey
