Tri Zinger 60 Problems

[heyrod]

I have a 60 Zinger at times it get's really hot and stalls. Right now Iam stuck because I was playing with the carb and throdle cable and once the bike starts and I place the switch to run the bike is at full throdle and wants to race off with no control. I was wondering what could I have done wrong*****Please HELP my 7yr old son is really upset cause he has nothing to ride.

Thank You!!!

The reason it stalls is because it get hot. It is an air-cooled motor, and has no means of cooling. You have to shut it off and let it cool when it starts to do that.

Did you take the throttle cable and slide assy. out of the carb. ? If you did, take the airbox off and look inside the carb to make sure the needle sits in the hole correctly.

[heyrod]

Yes I did take slide assy out, that could be it huh? I will do what you said as soon as I get home. What if the needle sits in the hole oky!! What should I look for then?? Thank So much!!

[hondatrikesrule22]

It has happened to me plenty of times. If is is seated in the hole, check for any kinks or binding in the throttle cable. If none of that works, adjust your idle screw. But after you did the other two things.

[heyrod]

Ajust the screw on the carb? How do I know which one it is?? Sorry this is all new to me. Thanks

[hondatrikesrule22]

It will be on the left side of the bike (if you were sitting on it). It will be a screw with a spring on it.

[heyrod]

Okay I will do what you said first and then adjust the screw.

you might have also put the slide assy in back wards, tthere is a slit down the slider on one side, that should go to the left side of the carb, on the other side of the slit the is a little indent on the bottem of the slide, that should line up with the idle screw when you put it in, or facing to the left....also about the over heating, if it takes a long time to over heat then its just becuse it is air-coold, but if not it could be running lean(getting too much air), the best way to check this is just by looking at the spark plug after its been running, if it is running lean it will be a white colour, if it is running rich(too much fule) the plug should be a tan brownish colour, hope this helps some

[heyrod]

I did what you said and still after making sure the needle is in the hole it still idels high when I place it into run. There is two lines going into that one piece on is the throdle and one is the choke the needle lined up perfect. I dont know what else to do?? Any ideas????

[heyrod]

My trike sucks: Yeah I did notice the indents and slit on the piece and it went in correctly. Any other ideas???

turn your throttel adjust screw out a few turns..if it dose nothin, you could have some crud in the carb which is causin it to not seat the float needle properly...or an air leak somewhere...

[heyrod]

it doesnt have a screw. You think the needle is not sitting correctly? I looks like it's sitting in there the right way from what I can see. Iam stuck dude!!

[heyrod]

the screw your talking about would be near the throtel correct not by the engine or carb.

[MTS]

the idle screw i am talkin about should be on either the left or right side of the carb it is #17 in this picture wile it is running try turning that screw in a few turns to see if it turns the idle down, if that dose not help #22 is the air/fule mixture screw, it might need a turn in to decreas the air flow of the motor which could be causin it to rev waaay up, also 2 last things, you are running the mixed fuel in it right? and also the gas is on and it has lots of gas right? its just some times in 2 strokes if they are running out of gas they will rev way up like that

[heyrod]

Nice diagram. Okay I know what your talking about now I did mess with both of those screws and they didnt seem to make a diffrence. When I was fooling around with those screw's i had it in start mode i didnt put into run mode because when I do that the trike wants to race off. Should I try fooling with the screws while it's in run mode???? I had them both in all the way and turned the chocke one to 1 and 1/4 turn out and the mixure screw I turned 1 3/4 turn out and I was hoping it would do something but I didnt work. Yeah the mixture is right it's oil injected, yeah the gas is on and it has plenty of gas.
