Ok so this is the deal, I am going to Sell this trike for 50 Bucks, Or give it away im tired of it,
So i just bought a Rebuild kit for my Carb,
But now When i Start it, It fires fine, But when i hit the gas, Slow Or Fast it dies,
Just bogs out and dies,
When its warm it starts fine, Just when i pop it in first to go, And tap teh gas, It just dies,
No idea wtf is going on, Please help me figure this out, I am about due to Junk it, I put to much money into it for it just to Bog out and die evertime i try to ride, Any ideas??
Thanks

Um, what kind of trike? If it's a thumper, do a valve adjustment.

1. Make and model of trike is very helpful.
2. It sounds like your air/fuel ratio is off. Get a manual on here and figure out how to adjust it. It is a very simple process.

Bump???
Not sure if i am allowed to ask for a bump, But i am stuck,
I am thinking that i put way to much Gas treatment in the fuel tank, Not sure if this would have that effect on the Trike.
I put almost a Hole bottle of It inside, Which i didnt read how much it calls for, I mean it was to be for a Car tank,
So Now that the Gas is low, Maybe the Treatment is still in there messing with it, Not firing or Flooding it out Like Diloting the Gas to much?
No idea, Also sorry for the bump but i Have no idea anymore, SPent money for a Rebuild Kit and Air filter, Spark plug, Oil filter,
This could be the only thing. Idk how shall i get it out, RInse with Gas? Thanks again guys.

also maybe just make sure that the choke cable up to the handle bars is not stuck. kinda sounds like it could be constantly on full choke.

My choke cable is broke, I have Half that when i try to start i Pull the cord a little, To open the choke, Not sure if this would be a problem, But i rode it when i Bought it, No problems At all. Only thing was changed for worse was the Gas Treatment,.
Is there anyway that could be the problem?

not postive myself, but since most gas treatment are meant for mixing in a 16gal tank, then yeah i'd say it's too much. drain the gas and refill with fresh untreated gas and as stated above get a new plug.

gas treatment usually means alcohol,which can damage rubber parts like float needle seats,o-rings...qa little is good,a lot isn't.

My thoughts are on the gas treatment. Dump the gas out of the tank and carb, and put in fresh gas. Report back what you find.

Ok thanks guys, I figured this had to be a cause, I will Empty the gas from tank and carb, And rinse it out a little with gas, Refill, Let it run for a little and report back to you guys, Thanks again..!!!!!

also check the w clip on you main needle, can cause a similar situation as well, have had this problem once or twice, just happens for no particular reason, and or check for debris in your main jet, left over bristles from a pipe cleaner are a pain
