My 200s starts and runs great, but it won't idle for more than 1 minute and just stalls out. It will start right back up and idle, but same deal just stalls out. Its a new carb, just can't keep it running at Idle. Also noticed when I tip the trike a little, it will also stall right out.

Any Idea's?

Thanks..........Bob

sounds like a fuel issue.can you drive it for more than a minute?petcock may be partially clogged(not getting enough fuel)float level wrong

Yea, as long as you stay on the throttle it will stay running. Runs great, no hesitation, backfire etc. As soon as it rests at idle for about 1 min, it will stall out every time. I checked the fuel flow out of the tank and no problem there. I thought about the float also. How do you check/adjust? Also thought about spark advance not returning at idle????? Thanks........Bob
