Going riding at 6:00 in the morning........started up the trike 1 hour ago to give my daughter a ride and there was exaust coming from the left side of the head gasket!!!!!!!! It only has about 8 hours riding on it......... POS!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] If you want to see the fastest trike rebuild in history you need to be in my driveway right now......1/2 hour to have the engine out and the head off, only reason I am on here now is to vent and the wife is calling around to get a new gasket set,,,,,,,and to top it all off I have to be at work in an hour AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

hope you find one in stock local. I just ordered one for my tri-z yesterday and it won't be here til' next Wednesday or so!

 

after 30 phone calls (no joke) we just found one!

 

happy to hear that you found one now just buy a couple more to have on hand and the head gaskit will never leak agin because you have the extra ones to put on

 

Well it is now 1:30am and the trike is running and the cars are packed!!!!!!Thanks to my riding buddy....he brought the trike to my work (I'm a diesel mechanic) and redid the head and installed it in the trike for me I helped on what I could but he did most of it. So it lives again! So it turned out pretty good, Except for the fact I will get 4 hours of sleep then have to drive 3 hours in the morning[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].....

 

all my trips are like that. seems like something always goes wrong, or i need to find a part and install it the day im leaving.

 

every time I want to go riding It doesn't want ot run right. And itrs always the carb. I have to clean it out before i go riding every time almost
