    Tri moto 200k won't stay running

    Went for a ride a through some mud and puddles then died and felt weird to pull it would start then run for a few min then die. Towed it back cleaned spark plug, air filter. It it was hard to get started but felt weird and lots of backfiring then died again. Dose anybody know what could be wrong? Please help.

    How deep was the mud/water?

    Did you suck water and/or mud into the carb or engine?

    Easiest thing to try, cut off the gas and open the bowl drain. Drain the carb then try again. If that does nothing, pull the carb and clean it. Sounds like you got yourself some water in the carburetor.

    Pull the lid off your airbox and check if there’s any water in there. If there is pull that funny looking plastic thing off the bottom of the airbox and let the water drain out.

    If you have the stock foam air filter clean and oil it and put it back on. If you have a paper filter replace it.

    Remove the small screw on the bottom of the float bowl of your carburetor and drain it. Then turn the peacock on and let a bit of clean fuel run though it before putting the drain bolt back in and filling the bowl with fresh fuel.

    Pull the dipstick out of your oil and check if it’s clean. If it looks milky at all that’s water, change your oil.

    You should be able to start and run the trike just fine after all this.

    Jumped timing. Mine did ... AND i was crossing a muddy stream when it died. the only difference was, mine wouldn't start back up. but you may have only jumped a tooth or two. On mine, the key way holding the timing gear on broke away and the gear was free to spin.
