    The tire size seems fine but your back is going to take a pounding. I'm not familiar with silverback tires but they don't sound like they're 2 ply. Remember this trike has no suspension so your tires are your suspension.
    I'm sure they will work fine jut be ready for a rough ride.

    if you ride mostly mud then the x-lite would be fine but 1)you need to have enough power to turn them and 2)on a quad it may be smooth riding over 15mph but aren't the x-lite 6 ply so they are going to be pretty stiff so they may still be rough on a non suspended trike!!

    Is the 200 enough power to turn them they weigh 20lbs each I didn't think it would have a problem? and for the ride im fine with that Im use to riding pulley swapped mowers with no suspension and aggressive tires.

    Maybe a bad starter clutch or bearing?

    Did the starter work last time you rode it? Sometimes you think it's in neutral and it's not. Rock it back and forth then keep shifting up to neutral. I've done it a few times myself.

    Maybe try lightly tapping on the starter with a . If it tries to start or turn over then you may need to rebuild it

    Sounds like you might need to open it up and see what's not causing it to engage. I would wait for some other opinions first since I'm nowhere near an expert. But something's broke or stripped or came loose. I mean the starter itself is working but it's not moving what needs to be moved so it's something past that point. Like I said, you might need to open it up. Good news is I think it can all be done without removing the engine.

    ok if I do have to pull it apart what all has to come off to see the electric start gears? If its gonna take a lot of work ill stick to just pull start.
