    Help starting the honda trike

    My son has a 1982 110 Honda trike, it usually run great, lately we've had a few issues with it, but could someone explain why the only why we can start it now is if I pull him behind my quad for a few minutes then it starts.

    Take the carb off and clean it out- jets and everything. Should fire right up.

    Throw a new spark plug in it...
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    It sounds like it may have low compression if it starts when you pull it behind something else.

    Low compression could be from a warn out head, which means it's time to rebuild.

    Check your Valves...Tight valves will give you a low compression reading, Or similar symptoms, Sounds like the timing could be off a bit also...Even with tight valves and a worn out low comp motor they will run....Need a few more details, its pretty hard to Not make a 110 run....

    sounds like low compression to me too.. is it a 4 stroke? if so does it use oil quite a bit?
