Sad day, but the trike has to go....

[classicfins]

Well,
it looks as if I have to sell my trike. So tired of bills, unemployment, dead end jobs, and financial problems. Oh well..

Anyway, it's an '86 model built by the Pheonix Trike Company. Has a stock 71 or so 1600 with a new alternator kit, and new disc brakes on the rear. Runs good, but does use oil, and probably needs a carb rebuild as it tends to flood once it's shut off. Jugs and pistons would solve the oil issue, I just hadn't gotten around to it. Located in Ruston, La. $6000. Spread the word guys. Thanks..

Sorry to hear u got to sell the trike. But I understand. I had to switch my swing shift hours to day shift hours which means no more shift differential. I am talking about $300extra that I was getting...no longer. Then with the additinal tax being taken out and now the wife's job cut her hours from 40 to 32.....It just sucks....

Sorry to hear that, I'll pass the word around here for you.

You might just need a new idle cut off switch on the carburetor. If you take the old one out, bet it has the end cut off. This keeps gas from bleeding thru the idle circuit after you shut the motor off.

Well, my trike sold today. The new owner is paying me to repaint it to match his classic VW bug that's currently going through a restoration, so it will be here almost another month, but it's got new owners. Hate to see it go, but I'll be back!
