i have bad bad news. my dad might make me get rid of my trike!! it has a bit of a sticky throttle and doesnt idle as low as it should. any way he was moving it outa thwe way cuz we were cleaning up our yard. now i have told him plenty of times to be careful wen * put it in gear it idles high so if * dont stand on the break and put ** bum over the tank it wheelies. it tries to wheelie even if * do wat i just said. any way he got on sat back all comfortable like poped it in gear and flipped it over on himself. i knew he wouldnt listen so i was readfy for it and quickly shut it off. some kicking and name calling came after. the poor trike, she didnt deserve to be treated that way. any way he was all like i want that thing outa my yard!! after he was done kiking it. he has calmed down and i think ill be able to keep it still if i play my cards right. only a small injury he flipped it on concrete so he has a small brushburn on his back, mostly a hurt ego.

Did you try to turn the idle screw down? All you need to do is take that carb off and give it a good cleaning! I'm sure it will cure your choke problem as well. And for GOD sakes man turn the idle down.

[Sox]

i turned the idle down all the way. im not even aloud to start it till we take it apart.. if i get keep it. i think the throttle is sticking and not going down all the way. if * dont kno how to drive it right the throttle gets stuck... my dad's friend flipped it twice cuz hes dumb and shifts up even if the throttle is sticking.

[chris200x]

Maybe it's time to inspect the throttle cable... Look for any damage. Take it off and make sure the cable slides freely in the sleeve. If not it's time for a new one.

[Maine_Triker]

Yup... clean the carb, get a new throttle cable or a whole new throttle asembly if nessessary... and put an inline filter

You really shouldn't run it until you get these problems fixed...

are * sure its not an airleak? * can be sure it is after * buy a new cable and clean the carb...if it still does it then its most likely an air leak

that sux sox, hope your dad warms up to it, mine sure did to my 250r. oh, dont feel aprehensive about tearing into the carb, i just rebuilt mine, its easy if you buy the kit! just make sure you have a schematic or a diagram of the carb to know where everything is. and if you dont know exactly how everything in it works, let me know. i have tons of pics and diagrams from when i messed with mine, its easy. get er fixed up, and have fun.

[chris200x]

Yes carburators can be very intimidating! Just ask me! I've got tons of pics and schematics also. lol The biggest problems I had with the rebuild kit was the rubber orings. The big one for the top of the bowl and the tiny one for the air screw. If you have any problems JUST ASK!

[TeamGeek6]

yes, fix it right, regardless of the rider. Then build a wheelie bar - itll look trick and prevent flip overs

then i cant pull my wagon around and ill have alot of torubvle in the snow.

[Sox]

wtgoat is an inline filter???? and yes im not riding it until its fixed my dad said i cant even start it till we rebuiild the carb, and check out the cable. im prolly not gona rebuild it for a few weeks, school starts in a week n a half so gota buy school supplies. plus state fair is in a few days so ill be gone until school starts. poor trike has to sit for a while .

[bigredhead]

Look at maybe lowering the forks in the trees.. to help keep the front end down a bit. don't need much.. an inch goes a long way.

[Sox]

* mean letting air out? im kinda trying not to do that cuz the ends are broken off... im never gona be able to add more air unless i can replace them.

[bigredhead]

No.. i mean slide the tubes up on the tripple trees to lower the front end down some..

[Maine_Triker]

Inline filters are a very good thing to have, they go in the fuel line between the petcock and carb... they filter the fuel. Should be available at your dealer.
