So i figured i would post this here since theres other trike owners in here.
It probably isn't a model specific problem, but my dads got an 84 250r trike.
When the gas valve is turned on, it flows out all over the ground. weather the bike is shut off, or at idle. But it only does this when idling or when the bike is off. It perfectly fine and does not leak when hes moving.
He got a carb kit and rebuilt it. didn't help at all. He's thinking its the float.
Could that be the problem?? He was going to take the float out and see if it sunk in a bowl of gas, but he didn't get to it td.
Its been doing this for months now and he's getting sick of dumping gas all over whenever he forgets to turn off the tank valve.
any help would be great.
Thanks
Josh
