The pilot jet may be stopped up.When's the last time you pulled the carb off/apart and gave it a good cleaning?

[curtis slawson]

clean it today

[saki160]

Did the idle screw work before you cleaned it or was that the reason for the cleaning?

i picked this trike up yesterday.

and it wondnt idle unless i held the gas little bit then it would run perfect but soon as i let go it dies out .

the idel srcew dose nothing at all both ways you can turn it all the way in and still stays run like no problem ha

Look to see how deep the groove is on the slide. They're not supposed to have a groove, but with so much engine vibration it really wears into the slide..

[curtis slawson]

where the slide at ?

It's the part inside the carb that slides up and down when you hit the throttle... Lets air and gas into the engine.. :rolleyes:
