Ive got a Tri Moto 200 that i just bought, I took it home and cleaned out the carb (all kinds of nasty green stuff) and it fired right off. Its a fun trike, but it wants to idle real high all the time. I tried to adjust the idle screw on the side, but it doesnt make any differnece. Is there anything else i need to check? Thanks in advance

It sounds like either the throttle cable may be out of adjustment and holding the throttle partly open.
Or you are sucking in more air then it should be. So make sure that the carb mounts arnt loose. And there are no holen in the intake or around where the carb mounts.
If you had all kinds of "nasty green stuff" inside the carb, then my guess would be that the jets are probably not completely cleaned out. The same thing happened with one of my SX's after I rescued it from 6+ years in a dark, damp barn. I used a small piece of wire guitar string and about 3/4 of a can of carb cleaner to carefully clean out all of the small orifices in the carb jets (both the horizontal and vertical orifices.) This allowed the SX to purr like a kitten. Good luck and I hope this is of some help.
