    1983 185s Carb question

    Hey guys got my trike running and had out for a rip or 2. Seems to go pretty good and does not seem to stall when you crack it but I have 2 problems. 1st one is that after I leave it sit and cool down I have to open throttle a little and hold it there untill it warms up then is fine. Have new carb on it and I have it at the 2nd clip but I have the mixture screew out 2 1/2 turns out or it would bog. 2nd problem is i have a small retaining wall and went to go over but stop at wall,then I gave it gas and seemed to bog ,no pwr not like when I am ripping around the yard lots of pwr and quick , let off backed up a bit and hit the gas then went just fine. So anybody have some good insight or ideas for me???? Thanks

    check your adjustments and tuning.
    should be 1 and 3/4 turns out maybe 2 and should be on the center clip.

    is this a new carb? you could get a rebuild kit if the pilot jet and needle/seat are worn. theya re liek $20 off ebay shipped and will help a ton.

    carb

    It is a brand new never used carb. Was on 3rd clip when I got it and changed to 2nd. I am going to try it back on 3rd and I had to have mixture screw out so it would bog when revving up.
