if the thing as sat for a while it would probably behuve you to clean out the carb. but if not i would try the idle screw
if a vegiterian bites their lip, do they feel guilty?

all those and check if anything is tugging on the throttle cable...anywhere on the trike, also there should be two adjustments for the throttle....one on the side (lil flathead screw) and one on top of the carb (a screw type deal that the throttle cable runs through).....check those then see what u got......
I HATE saying "It was like that when I got it"!!!

on top of the carb, whee the throttle goes in, yank on the rubber cover, and make sure the scre is ALL the way to the bottom, if not, it pulls the needle and its like runnin it with a person already got it on half or whatever.
Found that out the hard way!!! 3 hours workin on the carb and all, could not figure it out and then just got mad at it, and yanked on the throttle rubber, and i just said, i bet there is the solution to all my problems, i then had to TURN the screw so it would idle afterwards.
lol, its alot of fun when its like that though, pop it into first gear and pull a wheelie without touchin the throttle, lol
