A few of you may remember all my troubles i have been having with two of my trikes.
The 200s had a broken cpression release in the pull starter. well all the trouble came from the fact that the exhaust valve set nut had backed off and the exhaust would not open and there for the compression would build up and rip the cord out of my hand and broke my finger. i can now pull start it, sometimes it will build up and hurt my finger but most the time it starts easily. I had to lean the carb out because the plug would get built up carbon on it and fould out. i also had to raise the needle up one notch. now the 200s idles perfect and runs better than ever. i took it out yesterday and tor up the mud and trails. i am ver happy with that one now.
Now for the 200x.
I could not kick start this to save my life. i had a friend pull start me and with in 5 feet it fired up. i was able to ride it for a good amount of time. when it died it would take me about 5 kicks to get her goin. sunday i decided to adjust the valves and the carb. i put it back together and i kicked it over and it fired up on the first kick. i was able to ride it for a while. now it still needs a new carb so i am looking for that right now.
when i rode the 200x for about 20 minutes my arms werw orn out. that thing is pretty strong, i am not dissapointed at all. now i cant wait to get the new carb and be running the x more often.
well i thank all for the replys and help, now it is time to ride.
