ok big du-oh dum dum here. i looking for the rich-idle adjust screw on the magnum.. I assume they have it covered but where is it? i see a copperish looking bell type cover over a nipple on the bottom of carb ?? or is it a freeze plug type? the info i found on 150 say freeze plug type but i saw a post about magnum and it says on bottom?  dont want to open wrong thingie lol i get hesitations on acceleration ok on steady speed but go faster or up incline and it starts hicupping.. figure that is next thing to check might be lean? if someone has pic of carb showing where it is would be great.... thanks for any help. Its supposed to warm up tomorrow so i gonna try to get last bug out of it.... |

I don't have a 30mm Picture but see wher the Air/Fuel Mixture is on this carb well it is UNDER the Intake sort of inline where this air/fuel mixture screw is but under the carb. Pain in the ass to get to, and if it has a cover on it you have to take the carb off to get the CAP off. Lefty  FOUND ONE:  |

MIke,
The latest problem you found was that the ENRICHER was not on right. So that alone could be most of your problem.
And adjusting the Air/Fuel Mixture is not a big deal it is easy to adjust the Carbs.

Yes that is your FUEL/RATIO screw, it allows more or less fuel to flow out of your PILOT JET.

Lefty I sent you a pm. Yes it is all the way in now and seems to be ok. Now...no spark...She must have bounced too hard and long on the trailer. It goes in the morning for all fluid changes, new fuel and vac lines, fuel filter and what ever it takes.
She will be a sweet Silver bullet when she gets out. If I had better health I would do my self but for now lets geet her 100% than I'll keep her up

Mike, Sounds like a Plan bud, if you cannot do it by all means get it fixed up. Keep me updated on how that SILVER BULLET is treating you after the operation  Lefty |

parsonsj11,
I thought you said it surges, now you are saying it JERKS which is it.
Does it actually JERK and or Sort of Feel like the Chain is Slipping on the Teeth also does it make a noise when starting off and going up hill?

hard to say if it a surge or slowdown. kinda like when gears change in the car but only does it when load on it accelerating or up incline and not rapid just once or twice ... really hard to explain. not long duration just short bursts... can't make it happen just does it when it wants to but straight away is ok downhill is ok just when it has a load....... like i said i think i need to find shop willing to take a look ...
oh yea no noises like somehing loose or anything just the ?surge/hesitation?
oh yea don't know if it matters but when i turned screw into body no change in rpm or anything turn out and reach point rpm goes down then turned back in till rpm went back up.....
i think from reading thats what it supposed to do anyway..

Just curious, but have you considered the possibility of the CVT belt slipping? Happening under load kind of brings that possibility to mind. |

Yes, sure sounds like it could be the belt or the clutch slipping on you, that is a lot of weight to move and pull up a hill and the belt could easly be slipping. Maybe in that thing you need a KEVLAR belt which do not readly stretch and keep their length.

i dont know but when i got it it had .5 miles on it and it now has around 25.... seems a big early for something to have stretched.. i'll see if i can pull cover off and look at belt, problem is no place to work on it unless weather cooperates.

Parsonsj: Just a thought but when I first got mine the spark plug wire would not seat well on the plug and with bumps would slip off causing a misfire under load. Make sure the plug wire is firmly seating. r, Lee

Parsons, I took my Magnum to the shop to, after a 35 mike ride and just after 5Pm got a call. He said there is a drag on the left rear, they will check it in AM. If you can rase the trike and run it it sure tells alot. In the drive I just needed a belt, looked good to me but what a difference on smoother start offs.

Hope your not having axle gear box problems.....Mine is being replaced by IB, still running it but will slip and if you use reverse it will jump and silp/slip...It is locked in forward now and will slip/jump if you get hard on it. I just take it easy....still ride 20 - 60 miles a day with the wife on back.
Another thing....local shops can handle anything, tune ups trouble shoot on the scooter, but don't waste your time and money on the trike section...Been there done that...Contact dealer and they an IB will help you, I have found IB will do what it take to make things right.
Have you changed the axle gear oil on the 300 yet?? Let me know, when I changed mine it was full of metal.....I was getting such vibrations and bucking on take offs than it would smooth out at 10 - 15 mph and run nice up to 68mph.
Just trying to share as you can look and look. Oh...when trike is jacked up no weight on it, no drag, hills rider weight it would show no signs of damaged gears.....
Off I go....Mike

ok latest on odessy. took to local shop and the guy look at it and drove it said it something in drivetrain not motor i suspect rear end. when i changed oil it had lots of bronze/gold looking metal flakes in it.. only has problem going forward never had jerk in reverse took it to a hill and backed up it no jerks.. only does it under load at all speeds. driving level and constant speed no jerks. only on incline or speeding up... The dealer got me a rear end comming from IB but back-ordered hope it not a BAS@#%D to replace..  also noticed seems like low power and when i was adjusting carb that i could turn air/mix screw all the way in and power seemed to come up. very little rpm change from all the way in to 3-4 turns out. may have a carb over rich prob too but not the jerking problem....... get it not jerking and then on to other issues sounds like a cement mixer with all the rttles lol guess strip all the plastics and put on noise deadening felt tape everywhere.....  if i every get to drive it without fearing it gonna blow up i'm sure i'm gonne just love it... ;D |

parsonsj11
It is the axle gear box causing the rock and roll on engagement. Mine was such a bog down the scoot rattled and bucked and sounded like crap a block away. My gears were so bad it is a wonder the and belt were not tourn up.
I flushed mine 3 or 4 times than used synthetic gear oil. I worked each wheel by hand...it was a bear. I adjusted the forward gear and when I grabed the wheels the gears worked much free. Now what did I do? I think the syn gear oil freed something up (guess)..I now do not jump and buck and rattle on take off.
Problem is still there, slip/jump now when under high power and at high speeds you you can feel and here a slip.
I am lucky, I have put over 400 miles on mine since notified IB, new gear box soon. Just hope it holds out till than. Oh, yes it is noisey, I can hear it telling me to slow down....
Ask Jim he can tell you I called him a few times about rattles....That gear box roughness is a echo forward

This might sound stupid??? Which way do you turn the screw? Clockwise or Counterclockwise? Which makes it lean, and which direction makes it richer. It is getting ready to trip 100 degrees here in phoenix. Running lean is the way to go.
