hey y'all i have a couple questions. First whats up with the electric starter not starting the engine. I can one pull the pull starter an it will run. Second my engine will idle but it revs up and wont come back down to a slow idle.

Sounds like your starter is not bolted to the engine. It wont start if it's not on the trike.

The 2nd might be a dirty slide in the carb.

We need more information on the first problem listed. Is it turning the motor over? does anything happen? is there smoke? is the fuse blown?

the starter is connected and does turn over the engine. i do have spark and fuel going into the cylinder but can not get it to fire though. its like it isnt spinning over fast enough but the battery is brand new
the fuse is good i have checked it a couple times now.
i will check the slide in the morning.

i had the same problem with the carb on my 225. end up being the slide was sticking up on me. clean that and the carb real good, blew out all jets and adjusted the lil knob on side and its been runin great since.
