    Question I have problems with my trike fouling out plugs

    I have a 110 honda 1984 thats running great but every time I take it off my truck or putt it back on it is hard to start, so Im allways changing the spark plug because it will start up on the first pull if I do. anyways my plugs are all black so I take it that its running rich any one know who to fix this??

    Adjust the air and pilot screws on your carb. There could be a lot of reasons why its running rich. Also check your air filter.

    Air screw should be on the side of the carb with a spring going around it. If you need it leaner you can turn it out a few turns, then turn the pilot in a couple turns. The pilot on my 200x is near the bottom of the float. Not on the float but its vertical and attached to the bottom of the carb.

    It could possibly be you'er flooding the motor when you move it on or off your truck if your forgetting to turn the fule off before you move it.
