Bought my first 3 wheeler came from Arizona and then sat in mi for 15 yrs it's all stock it's all there I'm pretty impressed so I rebuilt the carb and it runs pretty well but it won't go in reverse everything is there it just goes so far then it stops there's no Trans noise I really want to ride it for a day anybody around me have a machine that goes riding I'm sure I will have more questions love the site thanks for any input

Here's a pic dunno if it will work

[muthey]

the cover behind the pull start where the reverse shifter goes to , if you pull that you will see the reverse setup, open it up and you should see if there is a broken tooth or corrosion preventing reverse from engaging. Here is a link to a repair manual for you http://www.oscarmayer.net/atc/manuals/

Thanks I will look at it in he morn I was thinking it was just sticky from sitting for 15 yrs

[muthey]

That is possible, if there is a damaged gear or switching pin let me know I believe I still have a set sitting in my parts bin

[swtchvy]

Thanks muthey I will let ya know

how do i make the forks not act like pogo sticks its like there is no oil in them how do i add oil i dont see anything up top any advice would
be awesome

[muthey]

in the manual link I gave you it will show how to open the forks to add oil, you have to pop off the caps, if they are there and push down on the metal plates and pluck a snap ring out while the metal plates are pushed down then you have access to the forks, the manual describes it better, the best way to have the manual is to right click on it and download it to you pc makes it easier to use it

i printed the manuel i will take a look at all 288 pages thanks for that link very useful
what weight oil do you suggest?
thanks for all your help muthey

[swtchvy]

planning on a total rest this winter gonna powder coat the fame white and chrome the rims really dont wanna open up the motor it runs really well
except for reverse i need to pull that cover off that u mentioned and see whats going on changed the oil twice allready both times junk all over the filer so i probally should open it up just worried about setting the timing and the valves and all the gears it runs so awesome dont wanna mess with it but i know i should

[muthey]

oem is 10wt or equivalent but if you are a bigger guy I would go heavier on the viscosity as it will allow for more weight that way
