Ice Bear 150 cc Trike won't Start Just Clicks By smoothj912 (Read 628 times)

[smoothj912]

I have Ice Bear 150 c Trike.

Problem 1. It would start run fine when I take off it would start slow then die crank right back up take off then die again. (had to push it 2 miles up hill home).

Problem 2 (new) when I go to start it it just clicks which is the relay but starter never turns over.

What I have tried.

My thoughts with clicking was battery bad so I tried another battery low so I charged it and still same clicking no motor turn over. I made sure it had gas.

Please help I'm very handy but new to the Trike just point me in the right direction. Thanks for all your help

Try shorting a screwdriver over the two poles of the solenoid and see what happens with the starter. I'm going to move your thread to the Trike tech section. Rich

Welcome smoothj912,
Good to have you on the forum.
Which 150 IB TRIKE do you have they are all pretty much the same. They all come with a 24mm Carb.
Q1. Is it NEW or Used
Q2. How many miles on it.

The Dieing out and going slow could be several things:
1. The Jets and or Passages are clogged.
2. You have a Bad Air Leak
3. You could have a bad Fuel Pump(If tank is Below Carb), Petcock(If tank is Above Carb).
4. You could have a Clogged Fuel Filter.

The Clicking sound is coming from your Solenoid. To find out if it is your Solenoid that is bad, Take a screwdriver or pliers and Touch Both Terminals on the Solenoid. If it Spins Your Starter the Solenoid is bad, provided your battery is good.
