As a retired mechanic, I just want to say excellent job on this informative vid for service and common issues. two thumbs up!
Peter jackson what do u think about these fourwheelers
Just a little tip regarding the kick start option which was not mentioned... There is a decompression valve on the cylinder which you can lift up on before kicking it over. It will automatically return back to proper position after bike is kicked over. You can access it from the kick lever and foot brake side on top of cylinder.
also there is a carb thumb primer pump on this carberator
My trx300 Honda four Trax blowing out of back carb should be pulling it forward
Bought my dad one with a plow on the front...everything in a 10 mile radius is now plowed. He's hard on equipment and this quad just works every freekin day without an issue for 3 years on.
That 1996 300 looks great! The 300 is arguably the best all around atv ever made in terms of reliability ETC....I started with a 1st 110cc honda 1981 2nd 125m 1985 3rd 250es honda 1985 Big Red...The Big Red was designed great,the trunk was huge the racks were strong had a detachable head light with extension cord,a back up kick start,head light guard etc...I would love for honda to design a big red-esque special edition fourwheeler...
They all still run after
Also agree. We bought two from the same person a few years back off eBay (a 2x4 and a 4x4). What a GREAT little ATV.
300cc doesn't sound like much these days, but this thing is a workhorse. We pulled 1000's of square hay bales with these ATVs connected to flat trailers. Still running strong after all these years!!
Best bike I've ever had
the US military used these fourtrax
@@MarshallSmith27 when?
I had a Big Red it was a tank of a four wheeler it was a 2 wheel drive and would go better than some of the guys 4x4’s I used to ride with. It was awesome.
Just bought a 1992 today . First ATV ever . Looks good seems to work good . I'm excited . Good video for my first day .
Fantastic basic overview of the Fourtrax and locations of parts. Great hints and tips as well. I've owned two of these for 30 years, I wish this video had been around back in the day. Would have made my repairs/adjustments much easier. Thank you!
Where are the fuses located?
I have an 86 and 2 87's. 88 is not the first year for TRX's. Best quads I have ever owned, they are extremely dependable. Very good vid, thanks.
88 is the first year for the 300
That left hand switch had me shook. The thing wasn't starting. Thought I had air in the lines or something. Watched your video, clicked that left hand switch and boom, she fired back up!
Thanks to you I was able to get my Honda back running. The good ole kill switch had been activated. I didn't even know it had one. Saved me an embarrassing trip to the repair shop.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports not a problem. While I'm on a roll, the Honda is pulling to the right all the time. The tyre pressures are correct. What else should i be looking at? Thanks in advance.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports thanks, I'll give it a go next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes
Adjusted the tie rods as suggested and it worked a charm. Thanks for your help.
I just got one of these (1998)TRX 300. The tires and wheels that are on now are Front: 25x13x9 and rear: 27x12x11. Not planning on being in the mud much so I don't need the mud tires that are now on the back. Thinking about moving the 25x13x9 front tires to the rear and getting milder tread tires 23x9x11's for the front. Any comments appreciated.
I wouldn’t recommend this. If you need more helpful tips, check out: czcams.com/video/X0AdFxkJiOg/video.html and if you need parts: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports. Thanks for watching and the comment.
I have 2 of them. There bulletproof and reliable!
My Honda has done really well for the last 9 months......now it will not start, so I'm going to buy a CDI box and cross my fingers!! Thanks for pointing that out on the video!
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports it was the CDI box....the new one works great and was easy to replace. Thanks again!
I just got a 1990 TRX 300 FW that it looks like they have bypassed the neutral / reverse switch’s did you do a video on repairing something like this. Thanks
Very thorough. Thank-you for your video on the Honda Fourtrax 300.
Sensational...Saved my bacon with no spark issue. Very informative. Thx...from Harry Down Under!
Hi. Have spark with plug out and against motor but still just Turning over and will not crank. Any ideas
Great info! Thanks for making all of these informative videos man 🙂👍
Thanks Mike for watching! Always love to hear it’s helpful!
Great video, your videos are the best out there!
Having an issue with my foot brake. It sticks on in down position. When I take pedal off I have a plastic sleeve still attached to frame. Even with grease this still sticks. Question is does the metal pedal rotate around plastic sleeve or as I suspect should the sleeve rotate around the metal mounting peg? Hope that makes some sense.
Thanks, just bought one and this was a great help.
Happy to help. Let us know if you need anything. ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
I miss my old 300.
There great machines the British spec ones are legendary with farmers
Heck yea! Bullet proof!
Ive got a '99 that slips out of second gear
to (a grinding sounding) neutral upon acceleration out of first to second.
Would you say bent shift forks?
How can I tell if I’m getting fired through the coil 4 wheeler will on start if you jump across the coil with Screwdriver
Holy fuck! Thanks a ton bruv I got my 1996 Honda trx300 back up and running you are a life saver
Have a '90 300 TRX FW - got to the point it would not start - rebuilt carb - now it starts up but dies as soon as you try to rev it up... it will idle forever, but dies as soon as you thumb the gas... any ideas? Thanks!
Hey guys i have a 1994 4×4 ran beautiful yesterday today i got on it shift in gear fine but moves very little like 5 feet than nothing u can hear the motor has great power but wont move......any idea? Thanks
Would love a video on the wiring system. Fuse location, adding accessories,( cigarette socket) If you need to wire a fuse or not doing that .
Great video to explain everything so I can understand !! Thanks
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. We have tons of other videos on our channel. czcams.com/users/MidNebraskaMotorsports
What’s your favorite oil to use
This is great. I bought a 1994 FWD Honda 300 fourtrax in 1998, I've never found a good reason to replace it. It is still working great. I'm getting older and when I have full choke on in a cold morning and try to go from reverse to first gear, it's getting difficult to pull it up with the gear shifter. Do I need to adjust something here? Thanks for the video
need to let it warm up for a minute or two first
My carburetor does not want to pull the gas but the On/off peice is fine I’ve taken apart and cleaned what do you think it could be
great video I have a 99 that has a horrible clunk in and out of acceleration sounds like something in rear end any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for this video - I have a 1996 2wd honda fourtrax 300. I've rebuilt the back end (new case, new bearings, new ring and new pinion) and it has worked well for the past year. Last week, there started to be a noise near the rubber boot that covers the (I think driveshaft). It is a knocking noise that only happens when in gear and moving. I know that diagnosing the problem this way is hard, but if you do have any thoughts, please let me know! Thank you.
It's probably ur drive shaft
@@lifeintheboondocks7516 You are right, I replaced the driveshaft and it was the problem. Thank you!
My 2004 Honda 350atv starts ok but cute out when engine is warm,dies when you touch the accelerator,any suggestions?
Just putting my 89 fourtrax back together. Put a need battery in. Went to hook up the battery, when I connected the negative cable motor started turning over. I'm baffled as to why. Any ideas?
Sounds like the solenoid is hooked up directly of isn't functioning properly. Thanks for watching. Let me know what you find!
Does this atv require coolant
My Honda big red 300 is spluttering mostly in last gear when I'm at full throttle? And sometimes nearly cuts out must on the field it is ok
You might need to reject your Big Red. Also make sure your air filter is clean and your air box and boots are complete and not leaking. Thanks for watching and the comment.

What a great bike great video
I just got a Honda fourtrax 4x4.
It hasn't been run for a few years.
The starter relay is kicking in, but engine cranking.
I have a 1993 fourtrax Itt keeps slipping gear n no power in 5th. How do i check transmission oil
Having a problem with my 97 300 4x4 replaced stator flywheel cdi rectifier new battery and still won't charge 10-13.5v at idle and 3-6v revved up I need help
question is my 1996 fourtrax won't start until I release the start button, is that the norm for these things. Or is that issue with cdi . So far not creating a problem but odd
great video man i just recently bought one, and advice on the front wheel cylinders? should i rebuild or should i buy new?
Awesome video. Thanks for putting it out there.
Thanks for all the videos!
My front right drum will not rotate on my 96 300. Any advice?
Completely froze??? or just hard to spin? Either way, I’d pull it apart and clean it up. Sometimes they freeze up with rust.

I have a 1993 Honda fourtrax and the neutral light won’t come on and it’s not the bulb because it’s new do you got any tips?
I've got the same problem, been replacing all kinds of things. Can't find it. Please help
Mid Nebraska Motorsports ok thank you
Hey Novak, I’m having same problem... did you find a fix?!
@@jareddavis643 we got the issue fixed it was the cdi box and the ignition where you put the key didn’t work so we put a new one in and it worked
@@novak4130 mine started to go out when i had been riding for a while, then it stopped completely and the bike would end up shutting down while riding. Put a new battery in and the light was on. Soon as I hit the start I heard the solenoid click and the light went back off
I have a 1992 Honda Fourtrax 300 it will run but when you give it full throttle it misfires white smoke
Excellent, comprehensive video. Had a no spark issue, tapped the cdi box with a screwdriver and started right up. Shut it off and will not run any more. Ordered Honda OEM CDI box and still no spark. Checked ohms on coil and it checks out ok. Sounds like it wants to fire off when I rock the kill switch back and forth while depressing the starter button. Any ideas on where to go from here would be appreciated. This has been the most reliable piece of equipment I have ever owned over the last 30 years but now have a no spark, no start.
Ever figure it out?
@@rickyparrish2570 not yet but the honda is next up for repairs in my shop. Just had a similar issue with my main work quad - suzuki vinson 500. Ended up that I did in fact have spark but had water in fuel. Too much cranking and not starting flooded the airbox with fuel. Ended up getting a spark tester and it was lighting up. I'm thinking this may be the same thing wrong with the honda.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Heck yea, I love these machines!! if you are needing parts for your Fourtrax take a look at our ebay store. www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports Have you watched our other videos on this machine? Check out: czcams.com/video/e7cboWDOQKY/video.html. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Dude, awesome video! I think you are the only person who mentioned the CDI. I believe that is the problem with mine. It sparks the first time but doesn't continue to spark. Does that sound like it would be the CDI?
Inherited a honda ft 300 88' put a battery in and no response when turning the key on. What would be a good starting point to trouble shoot it...?
Check the on/off switch. It's easy to miss, but important. Does the neutral light come on? If not, check your neutral (gear position) sensor near the bottom of the crankcase. If all that is good, I am wondering if you've got a bad starter relay. Let me know what you find?? Hit the subscribe button so you are notified when I get more of these posted. Thanks for watching!

ty for this I do have a question I just put in a new bat a good one, plus a starter solenoid but when i turn on the key no green light no start from the start botte yet if I bypass and jump the solenoid it starts right up
Mine hits like it will start but will not start. I pulled unit and it started and would start for a couple days but now it will not start again. Is this the CDI?
100% it is the CDI. Thanks for watching. Let us know what more we can do for you! www.midnebraskamotorsports.com/
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports You are right. Tapped CDI with wrench like you said and it started right up. Have you given any guidance on after market parts.
My oil light stays on now? It never used to? I’ve changed the fuses in back and one was blown. But the red light is still on any tips on what I should do?
It's the oil temp light and it might be corroded/bad. Mine does that too it comes on after 1 min of running even though it's not hot.
Where are the fuses located
silaniod is clicking , replaced the coil , new spark plug
If that solenoid is clicking. You have a stuck starter motor, stuck engine, or weak/bad battery. Let me now what you find. I feel like I covered that in the video.

Thanks for the tour very informative good information learned alot about my bike!! Thank you!!
I have a 91 300 fourtrax that gives one spark then no more. i have an extra used cdi that i plugged in and same thing. if i turn the key off and on ill get one spark then nothing no matter how much i kick or push the electric start? any help would be great? could stator be the problem?
I have a 91’fourtrax and having the “common no fire” problem. So, I’ve replaced the CDI and Alarm box, ignition coil, and I think I was sent the wrong rectifier but it’s new and still no fire. Any suggestions
I have a 1986 Fourtrax and it sometimes dies as soon as I put it in gear. Any idea what this could be? Anything helps. Thanks
Is it idling high enough? Could be CDI as well. Let me know what you find out. Thanks for the question.
Why does my 1998 Honda four Trax 300ex blowing gas out instead of sucking
Could be about 3 things: might need a valve adjustment, a carb clean ( amzn.to/41cE6Oc ) or an air filter ( amzn.to/3NjEi8R ) I would start with those 3 things and go from there. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Hello. I have a 97, 300 fourtrax. It starts right up but hit the throttle and it has no power or dies. I rebuilt the carb, no change, spark plug replaced, no change, replaced the cdi box, and coil, still no change. Buddy insists it is the stator. Your opinion? Thanks for your time!! Mike
Sounds like a carburetor problem to me. I know you said you rebuilt it, but maybe something was missed? idk. Also could be a gummed up fuel valve. Only allowing fuel in, in small amounts. Enough to start, but not keep it running. Just a thought. Let me know what you find. Thanks for watching and the comment. We have hundreds of videos yet to post.

@@MidNebraskaMotorsports Thanks I just subscribed. I went as far as to buy a new carb but still no luck. Got me and several others baffled. I will let you know what I do end up finding out and appreciate your time. Just subscribed. Mike
Are
• Transmission slip
•Starter going bad (have to kick start 9/10 times)
•breaks going out repeatedly really fast
Common problems? If so what do you do to stop them
What about the unit next to the battery…that clicks but the machine won’t start?
That is a starter relay (solenoid). If you relay is clicking your battery is probably low on cranking power or your starter is locked up. Also could be engine is lock (but you wouldn't be able to kickstart) or it could also be your starter clutch is shot. Let us know what you find. Thanks for watching
Hi I have a 1998 4x4 fourtrax 300 and I check for spark but no spark off the ignition coil someone mention it might be the stator how do you check that and can you remove stator while still on quad . Please help
I noticed an extra wire coming out of your battery box laying forward on left rear fender. Any idea what’s that for. Reason I ask mine has it to.
98 fourtrax oil light staying on, do you have a video on replacement or repair?
I can come up with a video. I would say you've either got a stuck sensor or a grounded sensor wire. I would start there. Thanks for watching. Have you seen this one: czcams.com/video/YeYmwzh4RUw/video.html
Okay I have the same four-wheeler mine's a four tracks as four wheel drive and I crank it up and put it in gear and it jumped but it won't move like it's not it's not even trying it don't put a load on it or nothing when I put it in gear what do you think's wrong
I'd say you're going to need to split the case to find which gear is broken. The rear end is a common issue so you might pull that swingarm boot and see if the output shaft is spinning. If it is, all you need is a rear end. If it is not, you'll need to dig into the transmission. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a Honda 300 seems to lag while driving any input
I’ve just replace the one way bearing on the starter clutch and now I have no spark I’ve switched over the cdi and coil with a running bike and still no spark any help would be appreciated
I wish like hell there was a fuel injection upgrade for this model.
rancher 420 carb, don't ask because i don't know, but i know it can be done...
Ecotrons makes fuel injection kits for small engines. Kit comes with everything needed to convert including throttle body, intake boot, position sensor, O2 sensor, O2 sensor bung, fuel injector, fuel pump, ECU with tuning software (also has eco mode switch), & also sell everything needed to turbo (except head pipe) if you want to go that route, wideband O2 sensor, external oil pump, oil tank, etc, & even sale small turbos.
why would you want to fuck up a superior design with injection??? these carbs are dead easy to clean and i have never rebuilt mine after 20yrs of hard use.
@@crabtrap because every time I need my fourtrax I have to Fck with the carb.
@@G.Harley.Davidson clean carb, then start using non ethonal fuel or run Seafoam ever fill up
Referring to the other comment about the decompression lever. This is my first 300 working the front brakes. There are none and the master cylinder was bone dry. The Bruin that I had worked on had disk brakes which made it easier to see the pads. These drum type make you have to pull the wheels off. Getting off topic though. I wanted to ask you about the reverse light and the gear. I found the cable, but what lever controls it and which way on the gear select do you push your foot???
Hey I have a 1992 Honda 300 fourtrax and it holds five gallons and sometimes hard to start i think its the idling can you help?
Hello, I am researching to tune up my grandpa's 1987 fourtrax. Will the parts you listed in the video description work for the 1987? Thank you.
Great video, is there any difference with the wiring of the 4wd and the 2wd
Hello I am about to buy a 1999 model, any problem that I have to be careful with? Thanks a lot
It has around 400 hours of use with 3400 miles and it is 4x4
how do you know the hours and miles??? they don't have odometers or an hr clock. sounds like seller is bullshitting to me
I have this exact four wheeler and can’t get spark! I’ve changed out cdi box, coil and plug and still nothing. Any suggestions?
stator?
Mine has a pull start & it won't move its stuck & 86 can't blame it,just bought a new carb & choke cable,purrs but won't move.. ✌
i have a 1993 300ex and it’s turning over but not starting. Could it be the carburetor?
could you please do the same vid for the yam moto 4 250
we have a 98 fourtrax 4x4 run good but some times the electric start does not work it just clicks one time then starts first time with kick starter
I have a 1997 Honda fourtrax 300 2wd and I changed the starter and now it won't turn over but it tries to crank
What can you do to keep the shift clutch from sticking 300 Fourtrax
"Shift Clutch" SMH..WTF??
hey, i need your help. I recently got a 99 honda 300 fourtrax. and literally nothing on it works, but it runs good. I am going through it and it is a learning experience for me. I have been working on the front wheels. my question is, is there supposed to be a small gap between the axle nut and the hub? I have seen where there are collars or spacers for the back, but I cant find out anything about the front. The second day riding it, the wheel literally fell of on me., lol. I may have another question or two for you later but if you have videos about them, you can refer me to those. I really need your help on this one man. I could send you an image if need to be show what I am looking at. but on the front wheels, both of them, there is a small space or gap left between the nut and the hub after tightening down the axle nut. if that is normal, cool, but if not, I will buy what ever it is I need, once I figure out what that is.
top 3 most reliable quads ever made? looking for a quad for ranch work.
Well, that’s hard to answer without knowing your conditions and terrain. Let me know.
fourtrax 300 4x4 and the 2008 honda rancher 4x4 footshift. I bought my 2008 brand new and here in 2023 it is still on it's original battery.
Do you by chance have a part number for that CDI box? I have same model same year, probably should get one ordered.
Súper awesome video

I have a 88 and I have a clicking noise when turning. The diff looks good just changed the fluid, torn boot on the front cv joint. When I replace them should I also replace the connection knuckle in the wheels?
Sounds like you need a new sphincter valve, get one of those and you'll be fine.
89 fourtrax 300 fan not working. Point me in the right direction? I just got it and haven't had time to troubleshoot.
my honda fourtrax 300 1995 keeps leaking gas through the filter and my battery wont stay working and im not sure how to fix it could you help would help me a lot :)
Well to start, mixing batteries and fuel is a very dangerous process. I would take care of one before fixing the other. I would say you either have a dirty air filter or your valves are out of adjustment. Your float may also be sticking. Have you cleaned your carburetor? Let us know. And don't smoke while doing this job.
I have one of these, wouldnt start from wire issues got that fixed but for some reason everytime I switch the key on the spark plug sparks but i can here it while I'm sitting on my fourwheeler which I didnt think was normal, it wont start so anyone got adive?
Where does the gas line from the bottom of the carb go to
Can the CDI box be replaced?
Yep. I should have a link up for a new one!! Don't go with a knock off. Get a good one. Thanks for watching. Happy to help. Let me know if you have any questions!! Have you hit the subscribe button?

Awesome Jessica! Thanks for the comment and for watching. Let us know if you have an questions! Let us know if you need parts: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
Mine does when I ride it just at random times with new carb and everything it gets gas.
When I ride it, it randomly dies has new top end and carburetor. It always starts back up I just don’t know how long it will take for it to start back up 😂
Do you know of a front breaks disc conversion for a 88 2x4
I don't but will keep my eye out for something. Let me know if you find something. Thanks for watching.
Are this semi automatic? The video does not have any info on the clutch and how many gears or if it come with reverse.
