[dear140]

alright im only 15 n dont know much so i know ill tow it with my lil 110 n have it in neutral obv then just have someone pull the coil thats on the ytm while were goin?

[84atc200]

put it in neutral till you get rolling then put it in gear, give it a little gas. if its going to start at all it will then.

Utilize this, it will help you.

Wow. I must say, the idiocy in here is reaching epic proportions.

First of all, pop starting the thing is not going to help anything. If you insist on trying to pop start it, at least do it the right way. Getting it rolling and jamming it in first gear is not the way to do it. That's more than likely just going to bring the trike to a halt really fast and possibly damage your transmission. I'm pretty sure the trike you're working on is a semi-auto, right? What you're going to want to do is get the trike into third gear. When clicking the shifter into third gear hold the shifter up once third gear is engaged. Then get the trike rolling and release the shifter once the desired amount of speed is achieved to start the trike. What you are doing here is popping the clutch instead of jamming the transmission in gear.

All of you hacks can treat your own machines the way you want. Is there any way you guys could keep your awful ideas to yourselves instead of infecting young minds with your ignorance please?

Personally, I suggest fixing your problem with the trike so it starts with the starter.

I appologize for wording it incorrectly,when i said neutral i meant in between gears.So i'm sorry

All i have to say is i realize my wording was poor,and i didn't describe what to do well enough. I'm not going to newb out on you lol, you know more than i do i'm sure.

[dear140]

haha alright guys. i wasnt about to pop it in1st because that wldvebeen suicidal. my grandpa says it could be the points in it? is this correct? i have spark, weak butt i got it, but the spark plug isnt wet so im not getting fuel to the cylinder. what would that be?

[dear140]

oh also does this ytm need a battery for full spark?

[83ATC185]

how much are you pulling the starter before you check the plug for fuel? pull it 4 or 5 times with the choke on. if the plug is wet with fuel, id think youre getting enough. Also, cup your hand over the intake and pull it two or three times with the choke on. if your hand is wet, your geting fuel to the carb at least. Not having battery shouldnt affect how it runs. Is your plug gapped correctly? Have you checked the coil ground? make sure all your connections are clean. Theres not a whole lot to go on here...

[briano]

sell it to someone that can get it running and appreciate having an ol trike and take care of it. Time to find a new hobby.

[84atc200]

I would after all this time take fabiodriven's original advice, take it to a mechanic

[krazykane]

i guess my ignorance shows i have popped all kinds of bikes and trike with no prob i guess i should have given them detailed directions how i would do it but i guess that would still be wrong in some poeples eyes .
