Planning a trip on March 16-18, we are staying at the RNR Cabin, the Gillintown trail head is near the cabin which I see it in the center of the trials. My questions are is it better to ride east or west from there, east will take me to bloody Skillet, that leads me to my second question, is there a place to get gas while on the trail? If anyone is riding that weekend let me know, would be nice to have a group ride, food I guess we will just bring our own. Also any other tips would be appreciated.

I wish it could make it down there that weekend. If you stick specifically to the rail bed/trail you can ride West to Black Bear and Back in about a half day taking your time and hitting the two side roads. There are some off rail bed trails that are not official to ride but OK during certain parts of the season. Going East there is a climb on the connector that is a little tricky for the younger riders or if it is iced over. Bloody skillet almost takes a day to ride in itself so make sure you haul on the roads to allow time to check the place out. Maybe you can split the skillet in half between the 2 days. Because the SSRT portion is so open we average about 80-120 miles a day and the skillet side sees about 40 -60 miles a day at most including the connector but excluding the SSRT road portion. There is no legal places to grab gas, the best is to just have a fuel pack with you just in case. I would do a quick calc using that mileage and see how much gas your ATV would burn I usually fill up when we come back for lunch. Ludwigs has lunch and dinner right off the trail and is a neat place to stop.

      Trail Tire Valve Replacement
      By Gwbarm
      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Helix Go Cart won't take throttle
      By Pure_Michigan
      Hello everyone.  This is a Go Cart and not a typical "ATV" but it has an engine so I'm hoping someone can help me.  It's a Helix FTX with a Manco 150cc engine.  The engine will start and idle for awhile, but will not take even a small touch of throttle.  Stalls.  It seems to take throttle and rev up when you first start it cold, but in just a minute, it will not take any throttle.  I've replaced the Fuel valve/Pump on the fuel tank with no joy.  It's a nice little cart, but without a workable engine, it's a boat anchor.  I'm not dumb when it comes to small engines, but this one has me stumped.  I'm running out of options.  
      I'll mention that while it is idling, it will sort of "cough" every 6 or 8 seconds and then recover and idle again.  Eventually one of those "coughs" causes it to stall.  It will start back up pretty easily, but as I said, it absolutely will not take any throttle and then it will cough and stall a minute later.  I thought it could be timing, but there is no "adjustment" for timing on this engine.  I downloaded the user manual and it mentions nothing about timing and is pretty much useless as a service guide.  It just shows the basics.  I'm attaching the manual so you can get an idea of the machine I'm dealing with.  
      Any input would be greatly appreciated.
      Kind regards, 
      Don
