Trial Run after Storage for 2 years

[Bobby Stubbs]

I stored my trike for two years due to me being in a car wreck..Cleaned her up changed oil ..new plastic oil line ( will convert to copper real soon ) new battery..cleaned the carb drained tank..tune up ..runs good again !
First run didnt get far ..shorted wire to choke ..fixed on the side of the road.
yesterday wife and I went for a 40 mile round trip..all went well EXCEPT ..the trike was shakeing her head and wobbleing..the throttle was too strong in the spring at the carb..Hard on a 65 year old crippled up old man !
Today I changed the throttle spring for one just light enough to dependably close the throttle..Changed my front tire pressure to 40 psi and the rear to 25
The front end is a Honda 1000 GL..SO.. a friend at the bike shop gave me a used SUPER BRACE..and I bought a steering stabelizer ( havent installed it yet )THE WOBBLES are GONE..We ride again tonite !

Went to visit a friend in Sinton..40 mile round trip..trike ran fine 25 psi oil @ 65 mph ..down to 5 to 8 psi idle at stop lite..5 miles from home on the return trip she started running on 3 cylenders..something I missed in the tune up..plug wire..corrosion..carbon accross electrode ..dont think it is serrious..but for a trip ..it has to be dead flat dependable..thus the short test runs..seems going any place in Texas is 35 to 40 miles round trip..I dont like rideing in town..Ol Yeller was built for the highway ! Fixed her ! Plug wire came loosetightened the clip on the plug end..runs smooth again .
