Up untill recently I've enjoyed the trike so much a few weeks ago was out for a blip and went grand untill the journey home. Were it got very jittery low to med revs and was backfiring like an automatic gun. On full throttle bit of a jittery then of it goes fine.
Have checked
Battery
Fuel
Coils
Air filters
Plugs, plug leads
Carbs
Choke
Anyone any ideas?

I know it's going to sound daft, but checked the above how? My first guess would be dirt in the fuel system / carb!

You may have a coil plug lead/cap or spark plug breaking down at low rpm

Check for air leaks on the inlet manifold
