Spent $2300 in 2 trips to mechanic & motor still stuffed


I have had to get the trike to the mechanics twice on the back of a tow truck. Got it back wednesday then on sunday went for a short ride & just as I get back near home loss of power, backfiring, & nasty sinking feeling. I limped home the short distance & put my hand over the right exhaust. Hand turned black within a few seconds. I will have to ring mechanic up & arrange to have it towed there yet again!!!

Deeply depressed

If you do decide to switch mechanics, try Volks Home in Thomastown. Honest and they know what they're doing
