I have driven my trike about 50 miles in the last 6 months, the timing keeps jumping....I have had 3 people reset it, but it doesn't last one day. A former Porsche mechanic reset it Thursday evening, and it ran fine but kept backfireing, said I needed to replace one fouled plug, ordered another Bosche plug and put it in this morning( Saturday), damn trike won't start again. I would appreciate ANY help....thanks in advance.......also, sometimes when trying to start it, I hear and feel a very large THUMP, the whole trike jumps.
