Thanks billy for posting pictures.
This is the 86 T3 I picked up in PA, I met up w/ DOGGER for the trip. Rite now it is a complete Trike. A complete NEW RickeyStator Ignition showed up late this afternoon. I pick up a newly rebuilt shock tomarrow, and install new gaskets. I plan to have it running on Sat, and shake it down on Sun/Mon. It will have my spare(broken) fenders, it will look like sh_t, but go great.
Has anyone ever heard of KOUP? I know nothing about this company. The top end has a steel sleeve and is deffinately ported.

THANKS
MIK6 / Mike

Alright Mike!

I like the green frame. I've never heard of Koup. I'll have to research some of my old mags and see If I can find anything. I haven't even looked in one of my old mags in months seems like anyway.

What CC is the "Big Bore"?

Never mind, I just adjusted my monitor and was able to read 287 cc.

Hey, how long did it take to get your new stator from California? I may need one, if the local shop can't rewind my T4 stator for a better price, and I was wondering if it would be here in time for me to get it back together for Dirt Week in June.

[MIK6]

Hagen. That is the T3 for you to ride. I DON'T want you on no HONDA. I will have it running tomarrow and decide if its good enuff to bring to HASPIN. If it will not run rite I will throw some of its parts onto HOLICS red 85 for you.

Hey MIK6,
thanks again for the offer.I hope the ´86 T3 will run,
only saw a ´85 T3 in person once before and decided that this bike
would be a little small for me ;)
BTW did you get my mail about the parts ?
CYA at Haspin

So far, The T3 is winning!!! And it does not want to run :(
Today I reset the timing, swapped carbs, CDIs, coils and run switches. I get alittle back fire only when I pull it around the yard. It has a NEW RickeyStator complete ignition timed to the way they told me too, a beautiful spark on the new plug. I took the carb off my running 87 T3, it is a perfact runnig carb, I rode the 87 before I removed it. The reeds, cage, and intake came off my 87 when I switched to V-Force so I know thats all good. The only thing I do not have is a compression tester, but when I pull the plug and cover the hole w/ my thumb it will blow my thumb off the hole. I get exhaust out of the pipe, I know its not plugged. I checked the powervalves, they are working rite.
If I can't get it running by monday, its not going w/ me to HASPIN! I will throw the shock on HOLICs 85 , and bring the ignition as a spare. If I cant get it going soon I'll throw a match on it :evil:

ANY IDEAS WILL HELP

have you pulled the pipe to look at the piston?

[FullBore]

Thanks FullBore,now that I learned how to make my on technical drawings I forgot how to resize pics One thing comes into the head another thing has to leave.


Tell me about it!

MIK6 Sounds like you're having bad luck there, thats one stubbern T3!
Have you tried a new spark plug? how about fresh fuel?

Nat

[MIK6]

THANKS for the replys. Lets keep the ideas coming.
Yes Basket, I pulled the pipe, the piston looks good. I also pulled the intake and looked at it from that side, w/ it looking good there to. I haven't pulled the head off yet.
FullBore, Fresh fuel(same I am running in the 87 at the moment) and 2 different brand new plugs.

MORE IDEAS APPRECIATED

:D J/K Really, I am. from what it sounds like, if ya got spark, gas, air and nothin is locked, blocked or broken....gotta be timing. It is backfirin so I would say timing. Good luck. I will probably be going thru the EXACT same thing in a week or two with my T4. Hope you figure out what is the prob, so if I run into the same thing, I can get it fixed with less headache.

hi
is your fuel pipe routed right? sometimes they get kinked and won`t let fuel through, take out your plug and pour a small amount of fuel in, if it starts then its starved of fuel, just a suggestion, good luck.

[MIK6]

The 86 won. It will not be at Haspin. I pulled the top end and found abroken connecting rod. It was not broke all the way across, it was cracked where the wristpin goes. When I put a screwdriver in the
plug hole it felt fine thru the travel, but as I tried to bump start it I could hear some "klicking". Today is wed, I head to Holics early to go thru his 85 T5. Hagen you still got my 87 to ride!!

SEE YOU AT HASPIN
