Big Problem

What you talkin about Willas?There isn't 45 year old momys boys on this web site living with there mommy's.COughNotCough

Ok, yeah there had to be water in it for it to freeze. My seat on my 80 is screwed up. So I only give it alittle bit of gas off the side of the petcock. Maybe your seat is screwed. Mine will FLOOD. I mean poor gas out of the carb because it fills up. Try that and see if it works.

No, it couldnt be the seet. Got a Bran new seet and then I took the carb to honda and they cleaned were the needle and seet goes. But thanks anyways.

Alright guys, I tried everything that you guys said to tyr and I had no luck at all! It still wouldnt start. So I am going to post an add on a local website and just see if anyone has a whole carb to fit that trike. What kinds of carbs will fit on that trike (85 honda atc 125m) e.g. will a trx 125 carb fit on it and if so what year of trx, thanks very much.

You wastin your money man..

You have a carb and all the parts.. just make it work.

it's either your float height of the seat that's not blocking the gas.. take your time and think it thru.

Newbie here, but have a suggestion anyway.

The gas froze which indicates a presence of water.
Now it won't start.

Have you tried fresh gas yet? This would have been the first thing I would have tried. Maybe you have, but if you haven't, empty what's currently in you tank and put a gallon or so of new gas in. It'll take a while for the bad gas to work it's way out. You can help it by purging the line to the carb and by draining the carb bowl itself.

Something else (quicker diagnosis) you could try would be to simply shut the gas off and squirt a little new gas into the aircleaner housing. Close the housing fast and try to start it. It will run off the fumes. You could use starting fluid as well, but that stuff is bad on an engine. Also, don't forget that it may take several attempts in a row to get it started as the bad gas/water works it way out.

Good luck.

Ok thanks CFM for the help, but I tried that. Even when I blow in throught the petcock and cover the other hole, no air is going in to the carb.

remove the spark plug and put a few drops in the hole.. DON'T FILL IT.. just a few drops is fine.. if you have a spray bottle.. even better.

put the plug back in and try it.

K, got her fixxed, had to adjust the air screw. I dont know why but that is what the problem was and it is running now so thanks guys and remember if that happens to you check the air screw.
