    Because when it;s in gear there is a load on it, therefore, it will idle lower. There should be an idle adjustment screw on the side of the carb. Also, this belongs in TRIKESYLVANIA.

    xpress may have nailed it.
    There are shop manuals under the 'world class help' section,
    and the 'trikesylvania' area gets Tons more 'fix it' traffic.

    Welcome to the best trike site you could hope to find.

    Make sure your throttle cable moves freely and it's routed in its proper place. Too much tension on the cable will cause the machine to rev. Does it rev more when you turn the handlebars?
