It's really hard to believe my Zodiac's can be that much unless carburetor was bigger or jetted different. A 300cc 2010 got the be the same as 2013. Maybe it is the sprocket teeth different front and rear on newer models . also cvt maybe a little different and this I can't get a handle on that for sure. lets see dual exhaust instead of the one crappy one on mine. they've redone the motor too .. mine has the forward - reverse in the rear differential .. The new ones are in motor... like I said they've done lotsa engineering type changes .. originally had a single rear axle mine changes to independent rear axles then they changed back I think to single one.. It goes on and on..... |

You were saying you would have one if you could do 60 MPH I have 3 Zodiac's all 3 can do that all day. As far 70 it can do it but its screaming and I don't think it will last long like that. But most enjoyable ride out there.  ya that's what I was saying.. Mine is a 2010 and they have made big improvements since then. I have had it this long and got a whole 600 miles on it.. here in central Pa lotsa HILLS and it has had problems with them since I got it and I've been working on this and that and finally said I'm gonna start replacing stuff with the VOG - Yamaha type parts and get it running the best I can...... Don't take any of My problems and Complaints as GOSPEL as to how the newer Trikes work.. Most everybody with newer ones have good speed and little of the stuff I've been dealing with.. Would be nice if IceBear would exchange My POS for a new MODEL... LOL (NEVER IN MY LIFETIME)  |

ok well I guess it's new carb anyway. went for trial run and started bucking a low speed...... the air adjust screw fell out...    lol Wish Alley and Jim would check in want their opinion on either a 30mm or 32mm pumper type...... At least buying a generic Brand Name type carb i'll be able to order parts for it.. lol EDIT... Went to scrappy website the show a 32mm carb for the linhai vog 250 260 300 so I ordered one and a new intake to match... don't know how they ship but be at least 3-4 days + to Pennsylvania. lol done screwing with it till then....   |

I was referring to the physical size. lol there are different height width and screw dimensions.. different brands have difference in jets. without having a brand to work with it's hunt and peck.... another thrilling FEATURE of Chinese trikes  |

I wouldn't jump because of my problems.. mine is like 1st or 2nd production 2010 they have made great strides. for the smallest outlay the Chinese are the way to go. but you either need a VERY good friend who does small motors , dirt bikes, atv's etc or be good yourself cause when S#@t happens it's really up to you to take care of it unless you happen to live near Jim at RapidRepair.. LOL Although if I had it to do over ,,, I found www.casscountytrikes.com (i'm not affiliated in any way) in Missouri..,,, They do trike kits for motorcycles.. I would go that way instead Find a low mileage 800cc or so 3000-4000 then another 2500-4000 for the kit depends on motorcycle used.... |

chocolate brown is the target.. white is quite a ways away. lol  definitely need to get bigger main jets and start swaping out. now just gotta find size and source There's a coupla different ones from what I've seen on the internet..... and apparently from my searches no one has really gotten into modding the 300cc trikes.....  |

OK guys here's the latest.. lol took Carb off and cleaned it . it's running again.. Changed to 11g sliders (the smallest I've seen to order) and now get up into mid 6000's on rpm... and the RPM seems better through the low speed ranges. actually picks up speed up hill from slow speed up to around 44mph uphill WOT. still max speed around 56 or so on flats.. Oh Ya.. I'm running a RED Contra spring in clutch too.... Belt rides all the way up on the variator did the red sharpie test .. LOL I did notice when I had carb apart the low jet is a 38 H the main jet is a 118 H its a 30mm carb But I notice the 30's they sell come with a 125 or better main jet think upping it might help top end speed?? just did a kill switch stop in front yard and I'm gonna pull the spark plug and see how it looks..... OK I think that's all the Information I have at the present so now I'll anxiously await y'alls suggestions....... EDIT.......... Here's pic of plug Think it's running a little Lean?  |

ya that's what I figured got some feelers out for a pumper carb to put on it then I can get rebuild kits in the future ..
I'm thinking that when I have to replace something to look for replacements from either generic or something like a linhai or Yamaha that is equivalent and readily available for parts...
ordering same quality from china seems to be a losing proposition...

according to the specs the power is at 6500 rpm so I'm not even getting there also I would think going uphill rpms would stay maxed out even if speed decreased?
I think I'm running 13g sliders with red clutch spring.. might drop them down to 12 or 11's?
also saw a cdi rated for 9100 rpms.. maybe the OEM in it is restricted some...
