?? It runs great, but no gas is getting through the carb?

alot of people dont like getting bikes that dont run. i dont know alot about trimoto but i bet its your fuel filter or your main jet is cloged with a particle of dirt that snuck in through the fuel filter.

Also, take off your petcock. There is two filters. The lower one is the reserve. Sometimes, this whole valve assembly wil get clogged with gas varnish, and it will not let fuel through. How far does the gas go?? Take off the line. Does it come off. Take the line off the carb, and hook it up to the petcock, and turn it on. Does it stil come out in a healthy dose? If so, then the problem lies in your carb. If it is in your carb, pm me, I have the 200, and I will walk you through what to do...

Oh yeah, forgot to add. Sometimes the idle or pilot jet will get clogged. Mine only ran at a higher rpm. If I gave it gas, and started it, it would run, once I let off, even though the idle screw was high, it would spit and sputter and die. I cleaned out the pilot, and it ran great.

People get 2nd thoughts for all kinds of reasons. Bike not running is just one. I've seen guys back out at the last minute because they get home and realise they can't actually afford it after all. Or a real common one is the ol' lady. She might have got in his ear and that's it - all over.

Running is easier to sell though.
