..so my neighbor asked if the ol' 90 trike ran.
Yes it ran when parked, 2 1/2 years ago.
Gas tank was full, carb float bowl was drained.
2nd pull, it fired right up.
We felt pretty lucky so we backed out an 85 sx,
Gas tank full, carb float bowl drained,
turned the gas on until it came out the carb drain,
closed aforementioned drain and the sucker started
2nd kick and idled like a sleeping baby.
Odd stutter idle on the 90 and for some reason, I remembered
the trick of nipping the last 1/4" of the coil wire so the spark plug cap has fresh copper strand wire to bite to.
2 finger, 1/2 pull and it popped over like a dream and idled
without a care in the world.
After a major summertime overhaul, the thing we were missing for almost 2 weeks, was nipping the coil wire.
