Cushman Trailster

[jeep4me]

I just made a trade to get this nice old Cushman Trailster. Seems to be mostly original.

The guy drove all the way from Minnesota to make the trade. Can't thank him enough.:thumbsup:

Traded one bike, a few motors, a tav and a little $$. I feel like I got a great deal.

Need to adjust the carb. It either gets too much gas or not enough. I have to wait until the weekend to see if I can figure it out.

Thanks!

This is my first Cushman.

I'm trying to find a few nice original bikes to keep and ride. And this one fits that criteria exactly.

I'll hang on to it for a while.

I'd like to find a Cushman but, from what I have researched, I'd have to sell four or five bikes. Not.:thumbsup:

:laugh:..... neat bike.

Its a great bike to ride. High gear is pretty quick. Low gear, the handle bars vibrate a bunch.

I got the carb figured out, the float was filled with gas. Luckily, I had a carb that was nearly the same. So I stole the float from it.

Idles nice.

I always wanted a scooter with a peddle kick starter. I had the chance to buy a Cushman trailster years ago but I goofed up and lost the connection with the seller. The dream machine for me would be the Mustang Three wheel they bring in around $7,000.00 to $10,000.00 if you can find one.
A bit of work and this one will look just great too.

Ten year old post, but I just bought a Trailster and mine's doing the same thing. Im going to try to get to the carb tomorrow and see what mine's going through. I can ride it around (partially choked) but it's slow to respond to screw adjustments. And very inconsistant!

Do you still have your Trailster? I wonder if you're still active on this message board haha
