erratic idle, rev when trying to stop , high idle, then die.
wouldn't restart. Dangerous is the best description.
Pulled the coil out of the frame (not fun) and cleaned all the connections and
spark advance plate, weights and springs.
Carb cleaned, of course. new gas tank vented cap that actually works now and allows gas to get TO the carb
cannot, for the life of me, find the main frame ground, if there is one.
I see them all over the place on the wire diagram but nothing real.
also can't imagine the coil is grounded to the frame by the mounting studs
since it's all factory painted.
Maybe it all grounds thru the wire harness? and to the engine and thru the
stator circuit?
anyway, now it starts with 1/4 pull on the rope, idles like a dream
and is STILL *&&^^%$ me off because I don;t know WHY it works.
Is there another support group I can join just for these types of mental problems?
or should I just shut up and start on another trike that is screaming for attention....
