    Tri-moto wont go

    I pulled my tri-moto out this year and put fresh gas and fresh oil in it and noe it will idle fine but as soon as I give it gas it bogs and dies.I cleaned the carb and it went but as soon as I stoped and tried to go again it will bog right out.Anyone ever had the same problem or know whats wrong?

    around where the carb mounts to the boot, check the boot for cracks, then where the boot connects to the motor. how did you clean the carb?

    DONT sell it just because you dont have the patience. if you didnt spray out the back ports from the airbox, and every little crevice DO SO. take out the air needle and everything in the carb. EVERYTHING that screws out un screw it and blow out the carb every hole you see and make sure its clean. triple check if you have to. just because the carb jets are clean doesnt mean the carb body is

    also check to see if the throttle needle is loose, weird things can happen if it slides up and down on it's own, there is a cir-clip, and a w clip that holds it in place. I would also check the needle for wear or if it is bent mine was bent and I replaced it made a world of difference.

    Did you drain your tank, or just top it off? If the carb is clean you may have water at the bottom of your tank. Make sure your air filter or air tube (in your frame right?) is not home to a family of mice while you're in there.
