    Hi guys,

    Well, here is how my day went. I went out to the shop after dinner, and I removed the tank and carb again. As I was looking at the carb, I noticed that the pilot screw was all the way in. So, I took the carb off, and took the bowl off of the bottom, just to make sure I hadn't put it back together wrong. Well, the slow speed jet fell out......So, I put the slow speed jet back on, adjust the pilot screw, and put it all back together. I pull the starter and VRRROOOOOOM!!! She's rollin, but going way too fast, like almost top RPM fast. I kill it, and look at the idle screw...It's fine, about where it's supposed to be. So I pull the throttle needle out, and it springs out like a jack rabbit. I put it in backwards..... Probably because my brain was fried from the heat and my lack of ventilation in the shop. So, I fix the throttle needle, put her back together, pull the starter and.....she starts sputtering, so I adjust the idle, and she is purring like a kitten. Spewing whitish smoke, but I am assuming that it was from the tranny fluid I put in the piston for the compression test, because it stopped a little bit after I started riding it. Well, then I notice smoke coming from the FRONT of the engine. It appears that I have a small leak from the valve cover. I tighten it down, and it's still leaking. I need a new gasket....no biggie, I can get one online. Long story short, she is running like a CHAMP!! LOTS of torque, popped a few wheelies, climbed a decent dirt mound, and rode her about 45mph down the dirt road. I noticed that I am a little low on oil (from the valve cover no doubt)...but other than that!! I LOVE MY TRIKE!

    I'm addicted. I just called a guy about a 110, for my Wife. She rode the 250, but she's a little afraid of the POWER!!! LOL. The problems he has had with it sound shockingly familiar, and for 200 bucks, I can work on another one....
