    Have another question. I put 10w30 in the tranny. I crank it up, and no go. What is it?

    Just occured to me, Make sure the Hi-Low lever is in gear, its at the bottem left of the motor, switch's back and forth, takes some Time to get it to switch sometimes, just move it with your hand while the trike is in neatural, may take some pushing back and forth to get it ingage, i say this becuse i did the EXACT same thing when i got my atc90 like 4 years ago...
