Get a shop manual for the trike, it's either an 82 or 83 year model. Inside you will find a trouble shooting section. Best of luck.

For a little better help, what exactly is wrong with the wheeler? Does it run at all, does it just need a carb cleaning or a complete engine overhaul?

idk i looked at it. my first thought was check the tank,clean carb,change plug and go. i also have to fix the pull start, i was just wondering if there was anything specific in trouble shooting a 2 stroke
