Trike Died out /// Fixed//// By roguesquid (Read 782 times)

I woke up early and took my PST-150-7T for an spin. It was doing really good . I hit some decent bumps on the road but nothing I deemed to serious . Half an hour later the scooter died. I had no throttle response and cant get it started again. I think I have reseated the spark plug cap but not totally sure since I don't have an manual for this trike. The started still works so I am assuming it isn't siezed and this is a minor deal. Any help appreciated.

Like you mentioned check for something that came loose, I know because my brother-in laws trike died several times and I had to go and fix it for him. BUT one of those times it was the Spark Plug Boot that had POPPED OFF due to bumps. The Coil Wire did not have enough SLACK and when the swingarm moved up and down a lot it pulled on the Coil Wire. Another time the Entire Air Filter came off the Carb. So check for connected items maybe the a Wire going to the Coil popped off etc..

Make sure the spark plug boot is all the way on. Sometimes you'll think they are, but they aren't.

Roguesquid,
Please explain what the problem turned out to be so others can benefit as well . Just in case someone has a similiar problem they can check whatever it was that happened on yours.

I am not sure, i checked the plug and firmly reseated it. Being avionics i checked all connectors.
