I have a tri-sport RTS340, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find parts for it. It runs but not very good. Any help would be appreciated.

Tri sport 3 wheeler built back in the early 70's. Not common, but not unheard of either;

what kind of motor do you have on it Briggs, Tecumseh, Rupp? or what, some even had JLO rockwell 2 cyl engines (same as Argo and Terra jet). Lots have been converted to Hirth snowmobile engines

Depends on the motor as to what kind of advice your gonna get. find the engine plate and come back and tell us. Post a picture.

Kohler engines are pretty simple to work on, any OLD snowmobile dealers will have parts, service available for it. The first thing I would do is pull and clean the carbs, do a compression test, change the plug(s) and see what goes from there. Being a 2 stroke the carb(s) are probably pretty gross. AN OLD ARTIC CAT DEALER is probably your best source of engine parts, I believe they have / had a comet centrifical clutch which is still available. Good find, its cute in its own unique way.

Man Ive seen a Bunch of those and even owned one when I was a Kid, But thats the 1st one Ive seen with a Snowmobile motor and that one looks way bigger and cooler than all the ones Ive seen. I like that Ride.
I say get Rid of the Motor and Drop a new 800cc Polaris motor in it:eek: :crazy:

Take good care of that one, its cool.
Is anyone bringing one like that To Trikefest? Would make a cool Pit Bike.
That one there might even give alot of Trikes a run for their money on the Strip at the Fest.:w00t:

i got it from a lady who was cleaning out all of this junk by her house. somebody offered her $200 for it but she gave it to me for free.
It was seized, i got that fixed and bought a new carb kit cleaned the points and got new plugs. i am not only looking for engine parts but also parts for every thing else. and when it runs its FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
