One question and I think I won. I followed Alley's instructions in this post and I can see a big diff now when I give it the gas as we are going down the road. It picks up speed a lot faster then before. But I seemed to have acquired a new problem that I didn't have before. Now when it's cold or even if shut off for 10 minutes, it is a bear to keep running. I have to play with the throttle to get it running and keep playing with it for about 3 minutes or it will die. This started to happen after I adjusted the carb. After it warms up, it runs GREAT! Better than before. I ended up with the A/F screw 2 3/4 turns out. I'm scared to go less because I was told that it was running too lean by looking at the color of the exhaust. So, before I mess with it, I thought I would ask what would cause it not want to start? Back when it was 28 degrees, I just hit the starter and it would purr to life. |

Thanks Boys.
I'm trying to get the carb setup and running smoother now. I re found your carb adjustment post and will go through it tomorrow with the trike running.
Dose the blue go away once the carb is set right??

Foot pegs

Hi Boys, My Wife is barley 5 foot tall and when she rides on the back, her legs hurt. Seems like the foot pegs were too close to the unit for her. So I got an old set of handle bars and some new grips and fixed it for her. It came out ok and she is VERY happy with it. I had to cut the ends off of the grips so I could put them on backwards, that way the flared ends were on the outside to help keep her feet's on. I was just told we HAVE to go for a test ride, NOW! 1. 2. 3. |

I understand, Memorial Day is a strange day for us that made it home. We kind of have a little guilt feelings at times. Veterans Day is our day.  |

It looks like you only have one hole to put the cotter pin in, mine has two drilled in it on both sides.

Air leak

I have air coming out of this hole by the carb. It looks like it just holds a vac hose. I shouldn't have any air coming out of that spot.  This is what it looks like leaking. |

I got it tight, no play. But it is a bent rim.
Mine has 2 holes drilled in the axle to accept the cotter pin. I like that.

Darn Alleyoop, I tightened and greased them when I first got it, but I just checked and I do have about 1/8 play in both sides. I better try and fix that,,,,,, again.
The left side looks good, but it has the same amount of play as the right.

Well Boys, I didn't have any penetrating oil on hand, but I do have WD 40 and 3 in 1 oil. I also use those on my weapons. I used the 3 in 1 oil on the chain and it worked. My chain would have 3/4 inch play in most spots but would get very tight in one spot. I now have 3/4 inch in most spots and only 1/4 in that bad spot. So it did and is working. I'll wait till we go for another ride to see how it works out. When we ride it, I can feel a wobble in the trike. Not a bad one, but a wobble. I just found out what it is. I have a bent right rim. I can live with it for a while, but I will have to replace it. Clicky |

Mornin cyborg,
It only has 300+ miles on it but it's an 09. That means it has sat for a while. I will try some chain lube.
I was hopping I didn't have to count the links. I can only count to 22 and that's only if I remember to use my nose.
