i have an 85' honda 250sx...all stock...ive had this problem since i owned the trike...(nearly 4-5 years now) but never really worried about it. But since i joined i thought id see if you guys have any input on it. When i give it a quick shot using the thumb thottle it almost seems like its going to stall...like if its in neutral and i give the throttle a quick tap of gas it seems like its about to shut off...and same thing in 1st gear taking out. It doesnt do it when u ease on the throttle...but if u give it a quick rev it sounds like its gonna stall. Is this normal? and if not how can i fix it. Thanks

Pinched/clogged fuel? Float too low? I had the same problem happen to one of mine and it was a restricted fuel flow.
