it doesnt have a pullstart or carb. but i got the motor to turn over fast enough to find out it does have spark but it doesn't feel like it has very good compression.

how you get it to turn over fast enough? it dont have any rear wheels to tow it!! does it spark good? check your cylinder and piston by lookin through the exhaust port (take off the 5 year old kid pipe and take a looksy with a mini mag light) check to see piston has hole or whatever and check if cylinder is scratched

I would say no unless you are going to do a full restoration. If you are just going to fix it up then it would probably cost too much.

we took a pullstart rope off a weedeter and wrapped it around the pullstart pulley it spun it enough to see the spark

OMG it has the orignal tool box on the grab bar.
By the looks of it the exhaust is after market maybe.
I think your intake might a performance one to maybe, it looks to short for a stock 110 intake.

That pipe looks like the cheap ass supertrapp I used to have on one of my 200x's. It might be that you throw on the missing parts, and you have a good running trike. It might also be that you would end up rebuilding every part of the trike before you had something that was reliable.

If you dont mind spending twice of what its worth finished, and have a lot of time go for it! Personally, Id buy a complete running one to work with, as it will cost you a lot less.

i'm thinking about parting this out and using the money for my other trike

I had one with all the parts there and put $300 into restoring it.

That's fixable. I wouldn't part it out. Since it turns over you should be able to get it running fairly easily. If all of the gears work I'd say start with the motor work first, if you get it back up and running as easily as I think you can you should be able to fix the rest of it up and ride it. If you get into the motor and find serious damage you can always part it out afterwards and still come out ahead in terms of money.
