Afternoon Boys, Well, winter is over so I thought I would go for a ride. It didn't work out tho. The trike will idle fine but won't go 10 feet as best and sometimes it won't make it 3 feet. It sounds like it runs out of gas but the fuel filter stays full. I'm thinking it might be dirty jets. What do y'all think? PS: I don't have an air cleaner on it, mine broke. Jim is checking on one for me. CKICKY |

Yep Pilot Jet and Passage are varnished up, it is running off the ENRICHER and once the ENRICHER cuts off the extra fuel it dies. As far a an air FILTER do not get one like the one it came with THEY ARE CHEAP MADE out of hard plastic and they break. Just get a K&N Air Filter you can clean those out, I have one on my Trike now for 3 years. Alleyoop scooterdoc.proboards.com/thread/12495/clean-carb-jets-passages?page=1&scrollTo=113211 |

If you would just start it up once a week and let it idle for 15-20 minutes you will not have the varnish problem and your battery will get charged up. Alleyoop HERE IS THE CHEAP AIR FILTER:  |

Alley, Thanks for the link on cleaning the carb, I saved that from the last time we talked, I knew I would need it. I followed it and did my carb but I might of done something wrong. (give me time, if there's a wrong way to do something,, I'll find it) Where is a good place to buy that air filter from??? I posted a MOV to show what it's doing now. What did I do wrong this time??

It is running a little RICH lean it out a little It is loading up try 1/4 turn clockwise. Here is the Air Filter they are not cheap but if you get what came with it that cheap filter will break again and you just spent enough for a K&N. Pay me now or pay more later as they say. Besides you can clean the K&N I have had mine on for 3 years now. www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RC-2580 |

If you have the clamp from the broken one NO only the clamp is needed.

One more question. (maybe) When the trike in NOT running, no gas flows out of it. But when it is running, this is how much it puts out. It keeps the filter 7/8 full and runs fine. This IS normal,, right?? Clicly. |
