Alley, Is there a fuse on this 2010 300cc trike for the enricher or is it direct juice the one on this 300cc dont seem to be working? I'm pretty sure this is whats making it load up on fuel.

No no fuse it is direct juice once the motor starts. But an ENRICHER is easy to test.
Take it off and lay it on it's side, cover the hole with your thumb and start the motor let it idle keeping you finger on the hole. Now within 3-5 minutes or so you should see the enricher extend the valve out. If it does not extend out then the enricher is not shutting off the extra fuel for cold starts.
Here is how the enricher should look COLD AND AFTER 3-5 minutes after the motor is started.

ENRICHER RETRACTED WHEN COLD:


ENRICHER EXTENDED AFTER 3-5 MINUTES OF MOTOR RUNNING:

I checked the enricher while it was cold and it dont retract, it is in extended mode all the time.

So when you took if off COLD it was like the SECOND picture? If so then it is extended and will not feed extra fuel for cold starts and will cause some hard starting if the temps are below 70 degrees.
If so then get a new ENRICHER for that carb.

Yes it is like the second picture.So if it is loading up on fuel at idle I need to adjust the carb right? I thought maybe it would be the enricher.
Thanks Alley for the info.

Correct, getting to much fuel even with the ENRICHER not working. So turn the fuel ratio screw Clockwise, you will notice it may idle a little higher and a little more power.
