The trike i have it actually the smaller version than the one pictured but this gives you an idea of what it looks like. Its a real 80's trike and there getting rare!!! Mine is 1985 july.
Ive had this Trike for 8years now. Came to me in a sorry state from a family friend that owned it for years, i swopped it for a 3bike trailor my old man made (which held my bike, my uncles and my cousins who rarely came out with us). It went in to a ditch full of water (we think) and the stator and coil got damaged!!! So 3months ago i finally bought the parts needed and got off my arse i bought a stator and coil off a honda C70 ( same engine ) fitted the coil and stator and drained put fresh engine oil in! (im good with bike engines shit with car engines don't know where to start!!!) Trike still didnt start. So injected some petrol through the over flow pipe in the carb and left it a minute, and the trike started (really rough and cut out ) so then i knew the jets in the carb were full off shit. So i took the bottom of the carb off and the float. Took the jets out (theres one for reserve aswell) got some pins and poke it down the holes then injected petrol down them (by this time they were totally unblocked). Put the jets back in the carb and the floats. Put the carb back on the bike and it started first time.Me and my dad think ive put too much engine oil in the engine as its smoking abit lol! I have also put a video on you tube of the trikes first proper tick over in years !!! Be Warned im in scruffs and have my arse hanging out and ive had my head shaved hahaha!!

Next thing to do is bolt on all the parts clean the exhaust up (ill try and take some pics) and the tank and put the plastics back on and then take it to a friends farm for the kids to ride it (after i teach them how to ride for an hour or so)
Im thinking of getting a honda St70 for the weekends to potter about on and to go riding with my mate (he has a 600cc ) so ill look a right twat . I want to do my bike test now :(
