So I’ve had my 200x since December. It’s always been easy to start, just never really ran great. Anything past 1/4 throttle was sketchy. Always thought the carb needs adjusted. Well I’m at St. Joes State Park in misery, I meant Missouri. Was riding with my son and my trike just died. Wouldn’t start. So I towed it back to camp. After a couple hours I decided to try again. Put the choke in what I know now is off and started and has been running better than ever. I’ve been running on half choke since I got it. Never felt so stupid.

If that's the dumbest thing you've done you're doing OK

It's too lean. Clean carb jet it don't let gas in tank more then two weeks unless running stablizer in each full up.

I did the same thing right before trikefest. It had been a few months since I rode my 185s. I started it and took it for a test ride a couple weeks before hand and it ran and rode great. I noticed the seal around the decompression lever leaking so I got a new seal, some springs for the chain tensioner and fresh oil.
My next day off I fixed everything changed the oil and tried to start it for a test ride and it wouldn't start. After draining the tank and refilling it still wouldn't start. Long story short I washed the trike before putting it away so it would be clean for trikefest. I let it idle to dry off (with the choke on accidently) and cut the fuel, I thought it died because it ran out of fuel I was wrong I fouled the plug . I put a new one in and she was back to running great. So your not alone.
