    Two questions.

    Two questions,
    First: my three wheeler is JUST about to start then dies. It turns over 3-5 times and it just doesn't catch and dies. Why?! How do I fix it?

    Second: any tips on how to get my ATC in my truck. It's lifted, not to big though. (6" and 35" tires). I've been muscling it in but that gets old quick. Am buying a ramp is out of the question cause I'm broke.

    Its called diagnosis and fabrication! NO really can't tell you anything without more info, but sounds like carb issues.

    for the first question would be nice to know what model you are having issues with. It does sound like a carb issue. Also for the loading your atc. If there is a hill or a ditch you can back your truck towards a hill or back into a ditch (make sure its one you can get out of) and that will bring the load ground closer to your tailgate for less lifting. I too have a 6 inch lift with 38's and I have done this for years,

    I have a question. You can afford to put a 6" lift kit and 35" tires on your truck, but can't afford a ramp? Weird!!

    If your carb checks out, get your hands on an inductive timing light and check your ignition timing. Mis-adjusted ignition timing can cause VERY hard starting and poor running...

    Try a fresh spark plug for the trike, and a case of beer for your buddy... Get him to load your trike!
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!
