hello thanks for the advice on the carb, i got this trike from a older gent let it go for 50 bucks has not been run in 5 years he told me it was taking up needed room in his garage to long and he no longer rode it because he said it was to hard on his back this has to be the best conversation i ever had standing in line at the grocery store i followed him home and now its mine! he even had the title, took some pics i wish i would have taken them before i pulled all the plastic off i spent a night cleaning them they turned out great, they have no deep scratches no cracks rips nothing even the seat is mint, gonna strip her down over the winter and redo everything, he told me it runs but i never tried it gonna change all the flilters and fluid first, gonna try and post some pics im new at this i hope they come thru any advice on how this will ride and any general advice on resto would be great. thanks tried to get some pics anyone know how i post pics from my computer to here?
