    that 60 SUCKS!!!

    Ok, the little whore will only start with the airbox off and someones hand over the air intake. WTF??? plus, the homemade swingarm has NO provisions for chain adjusting. What it had was 2 chain rollers on 2 stupid plates and a spring. Well, I blew $40 at the bike shop to get a 420 chain and some new rollers. DAMNED if I could figure out how the hell it went together and what it did. So STUPIDLY i took another link out of the chain and now, its too focking short. I swear this thing is cursed. WHY WONT IT START?? first kick with a hand over the carb, it fires right up. I HATE THIS THING. I knew this would happen when I bought it.

    no matter how lean its jetted it should idle at least,,,, pull the float bowl drain plug and turn on the gas to see if you have good fuel flow,,,,if you don't have good flow its probably in the petcock,,, if you do have flow them its time to pull the carb down,,, the pilot jet would have to be completely plugged to keep enough restriction that it wouldn't even idle,,,,, ,,,, but if it won't even fire with the choke out ,which is a direct bypass of all the jets i would say that your tank or petcock is plugged,,,,

    it looks like they used a 84 or 85 200x swingarm that the adjustment is up front by the pivot bolt. the brake rotor.hubs and wheels look like old 200x parts. you could weld the back of a 86 or 87 swing arm to the one on the trike. or get it from any atv with the normal bearing carrier you turn to adjust the chain. that chain tensioner looks like one off the universal ones you can buy that will fit any bike.
