we decided to load a bunch of household stuff to take to the swap meet. I decided might as well toss the atc90 just to see if anyone is interested. This thing has always started, well I go to start it and load it but of course the darn thing will not start!
So back the the garage she goes. I guess its time for a new plug. Last time I tried selling a bike, guy came over and it wouldnt start. He was basically going to strip it and let his kid learn on it. Personally I thought the bike was too nice for that. I ended up finding a guy that wanted to restore it for his wife, and traded me a 87 200X. So maybe its karma. We'll see. jim

was going to sell for $300, But I think im just going to order a new carb from beatrice cycle, the one on there just doesnt seem right. Ive cleaned it installed a new kit etc. I figure for 45 bucks for a brand new carb, I cant go wrong. jim

I go and move the trike out of the way today, just for s#%#'s and giggles I decided to see if it will start. Of course it does, after 3 pulls!!! jim

Im all ears if youve got ideas? Ive adjusted the valves. changed plugs, checked gap on the points moved the timing up and down. Hate to say this, but when I ran a pin vise in one of the holes it feels crunchy. almost like something is stuck in it. Jim
