I recently purchased a 1984 200ES that was running well but wouldn't idle (it had no muffler either). So this is what I did:
1. New spark plug
2. Brand new carburetor
3. New intake boots
4. New air filter
5. Changed the oil
I got it running well and with some adjustments I maintained idle, however, my next step was placing exhaust back onto the header. I got a OEM muffler and connected to the exhaust header pipe. But then if the the trike was cold it wouldn't start up at all!
I removed the exhaust and it will start up. Once it was started I reconnected the exhaust and I could keep it running after adjusting the carbs again. It was running great, better than it had been. No problems.
Now I go out to start it this morning and it won't turn over at all! It seems to only fire back up after it warms up then reconnect the exhaust. What's going on?
