hey hey hey - You guys sound like a bunch of happy elderly men that have lived (so far)pretty good lives !
When get to my age ,you start noticing changes so you start to figure out ,Now what do I do next,so you make your wife mad and you friends think you are going nuts and that is when you buy a 3 wheeler do a PDI and start riding around the neighborhood making all the neighbors envious . It's a great life !! ;p (* o))

Ally - mine looks similar to the last picture your 150.Disc brake on the left side looking from rear.,chain on right next to disc brake.Has circular tubing welded to rear of main tubing and a piece of steel sticking out that the ball is bolted to. Your numbers 1 2 3 4 look like where the plates are bolted together . I still don't see any place to add or drain oil or grease .Ive looked hard and do not see any zerk fitting to add or drain nuts . Hope this information I give has helped . Still don't see place you call tranny or a place to drain or fill it. I think I am getting too old for all this ! Thanks

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]Hi Ally-I have just got a Magnum Q6 3 wheeler with a manual that has little or no information that means anything. Hopefully you can help me.
First I have found a small black box attached to the left handle bar ,to the right of the left brake handle. This box has a view glass in it and I am assuming it may be a brake fluid container although there is no information in the manual about brake fluid .If this scooter uses brake fluid ,where can I get information regarding what kind of fluid ,how much to use and where do I put it in.Cars I know,but this is new to me .At present the glass shows it is half full ,but does not show as even across the glass.The fluid shows a slight slant across the glass,also behind the box there is a small lever.Can you give me advice on this unit and servicing of same?
Second question is this scoot has a differential gear.Would this be the same as what we use to call the cabbage head on a car>? If it is does ,will it need servicing ? I can't seem to find a place to drain or refill this part.
Also would there be a transmission drain and refill like the two wheel scooters?
Lastly ,and what is a real pain to me and I hope you may just have some knowledge on this problem.'This scoot has a seat opener that is operated by turning the ignition all the way to the left and supposedly the seat will pop up.I have contacted a number of so called techs and no one seems to know what to do. I have got suggestions such turn key to left and swat the seat. About three time since I got the scoot in the end of June Have I got the thing to work .Now id does not work at all.I have taken all the plastic and such off the rear and looked at the switch and when you snap the trigger it seem to open OK ,but when you try to turn the key CCW it doesn't do anything .The cable where it connects to the switch has a little sag to it ,but does not pull to release the lock bar. I have taken off the rubber protector around the lock mechanism ,but the lock unit seems to be connected from the rear ,and there is no place to get into the rear except ,from my view is to take all the whole from end plastic off,which I really don't want to do unless it is the last minute resort.I sure hope you have some suggestions to my problems . If there is no possible way of repairing the seat lock I guess I could just take off the lock,and leave the seat open.The one reason I would like to have a lock is that the battery is under the seat right at the rear end . The whole locking mechanism sure isn't very reliable. You have given me good answers in the past,I hope you may have a little knowledge for me this time
Thanks Ally Verne

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]For what it is worth, I bought a3wheeler from a dealer ,and a few days later ,I was told they would try and find the specific trike,Well a week later ,I got into hassle with the sales manager ,him trying to blame me for all the mix up. To make a long story short ,I was finally put in contact with another sales person and the next day I had a email with five different scoots on and was told to pick the one I wanted .All were a little higher in price then the one I had originally ordered I picked one out Magnum Q6 .which was quite a bit more then the original trike,al I received it within 3 or 4 days . It came in good condition and most of the PDI had been done. At present I am finishing up the PDI .
The moral of this story is that you never know who you are dealing with and it seems to be a crap shoot what you get .I bought a scoot from the same dealer before with no trouble,but this time there were problems because of misinformation ,but it all came out well in the end and I am very pleased with this 3 wheeler .
I think when you have a problem with the dealer ,ask to talk to the head man and work out your problem with him .

I want to thank all that gave me advice to get my scooter working .
The advice and suggestions were all good ,it took this old man a few days to get the work done
All I have to do now is bolt on the trunk and windshield ,,change the vac and gas lines and install one fender.Boy ,they are a @@###& to bolt on without help Tried my wife but no patience ! Will go at it again tomorrow.

[replyingto=triker]triker[/replyingto]Hi Triker - Thanks for the advice.I will try to explain what I have here,but I am not too good on this particular problem.
There are TWO spots at the ignition. ONE opens the key hole ,security I would guess. The other one is the key hole There is start at top next on left side is OFF and then below that wording ,there is ,then small arrow pointing down to left side,then there is the word OPEN and the word push.Below that wording is the word LOCK.I would send a picture but I don't know how to do that process. I am not too good on this computer!
I just went out and tried again and still nothing.
Also as I can't get the darned seat and bucket off the scoot as there are only two bolts on the front end and NO other bolts or such that can be removed.I have taken some of the rear trim off ,but again no bolts or such in that area. Boy I am really stuck with this one!!
I appreciate you time triker .

[replyingto=geh3333]geh3333[/replyingto]Maybe you should learn how to type proper English and then others may be able to understand what you are saying.
You sound like you have a pretty thin skin ,young fellow .As you grow up you will understand other people better .Don't take everything that others say to you personally .It will make life easier for you !
