Ok so I"ve been creeping around for a long time. Short term member. And this is my first post. Four days ago I hit the list and spotted a listing that read three wheeler 350 -
$450. First thought its to good to be true next thought head out of ass and call. 18hrs later $460 delivered to my door running a running 86' 350x.170426 Well check this child hood dream off my bucket list. I got one now the fun part getting her reliable. So her goes my list of ? for you the trike gods.
1. what common issues do these bad girls have (i.e. frame, stator, switches, ect.) and where do I start to get her back to a one kick cold start bike
2. there are a couple of oil leaks around a couple of standard head screws above the spark plug (see pic)170429 how do I stop them and what are these screws for
3. there is a oil leak coming from the front valve cover is this common and with the other oil leak does this head need rebuilt.
4. I found a two cracks on the sub frame where the seat locks is this a big deal or can i just weld it and run 170428
5. the first day I rode it when I would get into it then let off it would load up and die then it would take 5-10 min of kicking to get it going did this like two or three times but
then I only cracked the petcock and it ran a good deal better I'm thinking carb and possibly petcock rebuild. are the petcocks worth rebuilding
6. The suspension is spent and needs rebuilt the shrader valves on the fork legs are all jacked up does anyone have a set or recommend a place for repops. and how do I set up the suspension for myself as for the sag and preload I'm 6'1" 215 lbs mostly trail and mud riding
I sure this list will grow and yes I'm burning up the search button so please just help I'm looking like crazy these are just the one i cant find or missed so if there is a thread please link me to it thanks.
I end by saying I have no clue why they put six gears in this bad girl by the third I'm giggling and smiling so hard i cant see a damn thing anyway. 170427170430
