I have an Icebear PST150-8 trike. I'm trying to put oil in it & it's pressurizing in the oil pan & gurggling out when I run it a few seconds & remove the dip stick. WTH is going on? I've had this thing for a few months & haven't been able to ride the damn thing because it's either running like crap or I can't find parts! Can somebody please tell me what to do?

Why are you checkin the oil while its running? They still splash inside while running with a oil pump. Warranty, Its new. If there was pressure check the vavle cover vent tube. The trikes are fun to ride. A diffrent Beast then a 2 wheel.

There is a vent hose connected to the Valve cover make sure the hose is NOT KINKED or Tied up closed. That hose has to be able to get AIR. And do not take the Dip Stick out while engine is running to check the oil.

Hey guys! Thanks for the info. No, I didn't remove the dipstick while it was running. Turns out that there was a hose that runns to the EPA crap that was causing air to get trapped in the motor & caused my oil pump to cavitate. Got the oil in. Got her running but I have a loose connectionup front somewhere & it's causing a stutter. I thought it was a misfire until I saw the speedo screen flicker. Let the fun begin! I had to do all of my own work. I went thru a company in San Diego & have had a tough time with tech suppport. Many thanks to Jim @ Rapid Repair! He talked me thru a lot. Next stop, louder exhaust & apehangers!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!

How do you know your air/fuel mixture is NOT WORKING?
After the engine is nice and HOT, and it is idleing around 1500-1800.
1. If you turn the Air/Fuel Mixture 1/4 to 1/2 turn Counter Clockwise does your IDLE(RPMS) go up or down?
and or
2. If you turn the Air/Fuel Mixture 1/4 to 1/2 turn Clockwise does your IDLE (RPMS go up or down?
If nothing happens turning the Air/Fuel mixture in either Direction then your Pilot Jet and or Passges are Clogged.
