Glad to see its up and running, I still think a carb kit is a waste of money, there is hardly anything to wear out. Run some fuel injection cleaner (double the recommended amount) in tank this will clean up carb. To many first time carb cleaners miss some hole that is still plugged up, I've did it myself. Another problem is the pin that the float hinges on looks clean but there is just enough old gas residue on it making float stick. This gives bogging out cause it doesn't lower quick enough to let gas in, then gas comes out overflow when stopped cause it won't lift easy enough to fully shut off. Carburetors don't give us problems as much as the old gas residue in them. If your trike is going to sit for 3 months learn how to shut off gas and drain carb. It's alot less work to drain than always be cleaning it or trouble shooting some weird reason why it doesn't run right. You say your carb runs okay now, just put some fuel injection cleaner in tank, you'll burn your tires off, and you'll be alot happier with you trike.

Teaching quads a lesson
Once again the weather fools got it wrong for me (I hate you "Hurricane" Schwartz!) - they said 7" - 13", we got like 5" max, and the roads only got 3" at the most - but it was enough for them to call a local state of emergency. I did manage to put about 13 mostly road miles on the old ALT125 though - it wasn't worth it to take the Scrammy out.

Hey we actually got a dusting of snow yesterday; however, by the time I got up and put on my clothes the sun had melted it away. I am still waiting to play.

I got 12-14 inches of new snow.I put my 40 hours in already plowing and moving snow this week.Thursday and Friday will be OT. I rode my YTM for about an hr,got tired of getting stuck and turning it around. The blaster is useless until I get some trails and my track packed down.Right now I'm about to fall asleep.
I'm having a sale on snow if anyone wants any. $10 a truckload,and you load it yourself
SNOW STILL SUX!!
