I have found a Sperry Rand Tricart for sale. the asking price is very reasonable considering the shape its in. It has a 1 cyl 2 stroke on it and has had a rough life. It doesn't run but it looks like its all there. the guy even has extra tires for the front and rear! What is this oddball machine worth in driveable condition? I really want it but my wife does not think I really need it, considering I just bought an ATTEX, have another ATTEX on the way and I need parts for both of them. Any body out there with one or who wants one or who can tell me what one is worth? Is there a market for them?

I have a 4 stroke version. They sell for quite a bit on the eBay. Buy it for her... hint hint...

Back in November, a complete Tri-cart with two engines went for $225 on ebay. It needed a lot of work and had a bad paint job, but it had potential. As far as I know, these only came with a 230 JLO two-stroke, but there was a machine called the tri-cub that had a four stroke. Both machines were more stable (and more fun) than the jap three wheelers that brought about the ban in the 80s.

If you decide to sell yours, I may be interested.

I have 2 Tri-Carts , but I need motors(L230).
They haven't run for about 25 years. Any information anyone can give me on this would be
much apprciated.

hello everyone
I have a TriCart thats in great shape. However, I cant get it to start and stay running. If anyone has an engine manual I'd be willing to pay for a copy of it.
Thanks
T Edwards

If the engine's original, it's probably equipped with a tillotson carb, and by the sounds of it, you need a diaphram kit. Just a guess, but those carburetors went through diaphrams really quickly. I will check and see if I have a copy of the 230 Rockwell manual (if that's still the engine in the cart).

Thanks, Don
Please forgive my ignorance, but is a diaphram similar to a fuel pump? Im pretty new to mechanical operations.

No problem, T;

You're right. The old Tillotsons didn't use an external fuel pump: it was the bottom diaphram in the carb that performed the same function.
