Ok, you don't need to take the oil pump out, you just need to bypass it. The oil pump doesn't really take anything away performance wise to the engine and it leaves a big hole that needs to be covered up and you have to take alot of stuff apart. The best way is just to plug it off. I guess you already know there are 2 oil lines on the oil pump, the inlet and the outlet. Plug both of those off with vacuum plugs that you can get at any parts store. Remove the 2 stroke oil plastic tank and then plug the oil line into the carb. That's all you need to do. Simple, eh? Or you could drain the engine oil, remove the side cover. Unbolt the pump and remove the piece of the throttle cable that actuates the pump. Then you have to cut the pump shaft and pull out all the guts. Then you have to use epoxy or the liquid steel stuff and fill the hole where the guts were and let all that cure and dry taking care not to let any get on the outside of the oil pump housing and the o-ring. Then you have to bolt all that back together with new gaskets, refill the engine oil and you still have to block off the oil injection into the carb and remove the 2 stroke oil tank. Whichever way you want to do it is up to you, but the first way is simpler and quicker.

hey thanks lol i think i will block it off man you are the best so just need to block off all the black line from trans case then right the 2 side by side and the one big one comming from the tank you put the 2stroke oil in

[Vealmonkey]

Yes, those 3 and the oil injection line at the carb that the little line from the case on the 2 side by side connections runs to. If you can understand that.

ok kool so what do i need to do with the carb pecock i added stuff to the pics on here maby it would be better for my dumb self

[Vealmonkey]

It looks like the "petcock" is already hooked into the carb the right way. But the fuel line is a little short and it looks pinched where it turns and hooks into the carb. You need a longer fuel hose so the line isn't kinked cause that will restrict fuel flow into the carb. Also, your trike is so dirty it's hard to see anything really clear in the pictures. Also your drain line from your fuel bowl should not be hooked at the bottom end into anything, it should just be able to drain on the ground. Also on your carb on the right side, threre should be a small fitting the same size as the smaller of the 2 fittings side by side on the right side of your engine. That will have to be plugged or it is a major air leak into your carb and it won't be able to be tuned right if at all. And clean that engine up a whole lot so we can better see things in your pictures. That trike is filthy.

so the num 4 is hooked up right/num1 needs to be open to the back /what is tha triangle thing there?? num 1 is hooked too

[justinbtrippen]

does that need pluged

[Vealmonkey]

I believe, and it's hard to tell by that picture, that your #4 is currently hooked up wrong. I believe the #4 should be plugged up and I think that is your premix injection point. I think you have #4 hooked up to a vent right now and that whole line should be pulled off #4 and the vent it's connected to. That triangle thing is some kind of a collection point that a crankcase vent should be hooked too. Also on the left side of your carb there should be another vent like the one #4 is hooked to and that should not have any kind of line on it either. You're getting there. But please clean the bike up and get better pictures so I can be more sure of what is hooked to what. That thing is so filthy that it's hard to tell what is what.

[justinbtrippen]

ok i got new pics on here

[Vealmonkey]

Okay, much better thank you. 3, 5 and 6 need to be plugged up. What you have circled on the left side of the carb is where the chocke cable goes. Do you have a choke cable that's not hooked to anything? In the last picture you have a "triangle" with a fitting on it, I'm pretty sure that's where #4 hooks to. #2 is just a vent for the carb and shouldn't have anything hooked to it. Also you should have a vent just like it on the left side of the carb and it won't get anything hooked to it either. And it's hard to tell, but I think your #1 is the overflow for the float bowl and it should just drain to the ground and not be hooked to anything or it is for the carb drain screw and it shouldn't be hooked to anything either just drains to the ground.
You should have a choke cable that comes off behind where your headlight is and runs all the way back to that brass screw on the side of your carb. If you don't have a choke cable, you should be able to block that off but you'll really want to get a choke cable cause it could make the trike real hard starting. Choke cables are cheap, maybe 20 bucks, but they need this little plunger on the end and the plunger you would probably have to buy at the dealer unless you could find a used carb with a choke cable and has the plunger on it. I might have a used cable around here, I'll check. That should have all your lines hooked up. Remember, those are big wheelie machines!! When you give it the gas the front end will try and come up on you big time, so be careful if you are not used to it. Wear your helmet!

thank you you are the best !!! hey it runs but like crap q: what do you think that is going on here i opened the air box top man it ran like a champ man it was fast . put it back on and crap it moved slow took it back off ran great what do you think the problem is with it and what do you think about a cone airfilter might help?? or would it do the same thing ?

[Vealmonkey]

The airfilter could be dirty. The carb could be poorly adjusted or dirty. Could be some other things, but more than likely those are the main culprits.
