Glad to see someone knows how to work on things and doesn't curse like a sailor. Good Job! this really helped.
I am the least mechanically inclined person I know. Thanks to your video series, I was able to change out my own carb and get my grandpas 1988 fourtrax running. Thanks for the great explanation and detailed video!
Thanks for the excellent instructions and clear and steady camera angles! My '88 wouldn't idle and it was overdue for a carb overhaul. I appreciate your expertise as do many of us with these 'classic' bikes. Keep up the great work.
most trx300 vids I've watched make it look really complicated. you've presented it in a really simple to understand way. thanks.
Thank you for providing an in depth video series. I've had factory training on Stanadyne, Delphi, Zexel, Denso and Bosch diesel pumps and injectors but I don't have much experience on gas carbs. Your step by step approach is the best way for anyone to learn how to clean and rebuild this carb. Great job!
Sat for five years and that float pin slid right out you lucky bastard. I’ve had a few that I wasn’t so lucky. Great video very informative, to the point. Thx
This guy is a blessing and his videos are really well done! Gives me some confidence that maybe I'll be able to get my old 300 up and running right again.
Had fuel leaking out of hose on bottom of carb.Watched your video and was able to make repair by myself instead of taking to a dealer.Piece of rubber hose under float needle just as you advised.Removed debris ,cleaned everything, reassembled no more leak.THANKS for great video and pic quality.
Thank you for the 4trax videos, they help me get the old 4wheeler back up and running.
I have the same ATV, that sat for years too. I followed his video, and did everything like he said. It started right up! The only thing that I had trouble with was getting the intake tube out. It sure didn't come out as easy as the one he worked on!! But for an old lady, I think I did pretty good!
Just want to thank you for saving me about $100 in a trip to the atv repair shop and giving me a better understanding on how to work on atv carbs, I had a fuel overflow issue where gas was draining out the bottom reservoir of the carb and after taking it apart and cleaning it no more leak. I did research and found it was something to do with the needle Not seeding correctly and triggered a gas overflow. Now she runs better and idles better too!
this is one of the best instructional videos on CZcams, thanks, I rebuit a carb on an 88' Honda Fourtrax 300 with your help
Good video. I've watched other Honda ATV "carburetor rebuild" videos and they gloss over some things and completely leave out other important information. You do a great job discussing each component, what it's function is, and how to inspect, clean and replace. Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks so much. Due to this video I was able to get my 1988 four trax running again.
By far this is the best video on how to take a carburetor apart and getting to The carburetor very detailed thank you for your time in making this video it helped me a lot
D-Ray just want to give you my thanks from the east coast of Canada this video saved my old Honda
Excellent set of videos D-Ray. Very well done and the explanations as you go along are great!Hope you keep making these... Thanks,Glen
Thank you so much, that is a great how to video. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Helped me out a lot.
Very clear instructions and the video was also easy to see all the parts. You rock!!!
Nice Work! Watched all three. Starting a carb rebuild on my Foreman TRX450 now. This helped greatly. Thank you.
You are an amazing teacher..I have no experience in mechanics and did it the first time without any problem. Thanks
Great job! Thanks for showing step by step with good (and steady) camera work. I imagine most Honda 4-wheelers have a similar carb. My 2004 Honda Recon 250 better get ready for a carb cleaning!
Appreciate the thorough explanations and the terrific videography! Will be tackling this project for the first time very soon. Many thanks! 👍🏼
Thanks Mr. D-Ray, this video was very helpful for my Honda Foreman carb repair - you do excellent video work for us shade tree guys to learn from and keep us from making matters worse, much obliged.
You are the best presenter I’ve ever seen on CZcams for it comes to rebuilding or explaining mechanical processes. You should do this for a living and sell your videos
just finished getting it back together. Need to adjust the low jet a bit (have to find 3rd video) but you made it so easy!!! Thank you!!!!
The best on how to I ever done. I might open a shop now. Thx dude.
Nice job and good clear concise explanations and video. Wish I would have watched this yesterday before tearing down my 06 foreman I just picked that had been sitting as well, luckily it all went well. Those older models and the Ranchers are so much easier to get to everything than that Foreman that is totally shrouded in plastic, plus I had to take out the whole airbox as well. Not too bad when I figured out how to remove all those body plugs.
I just really commend your efforts on this video. The zoom in was fantastic. One of the best "how to" videos I've seen. Great quality. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post it.
Fantastic video, I came here because my 2003 TRX isn't idling, you convinced me to let an expert do it!
thanks so much for video! im in the middle of rebuilding my 1996 300. you have made it alot easier!
Thanks, this video was really clear. Great camerawork and detailed explaining.
I'm about to attempt another carb cleaning on my 1999 Honda Rebel, because my pilot jet is still clogged. It starts but dies when I turn off the enricher (the "choke").
The things never die I got given one that had been sitting outside for at least 8 years with a fully rusted out frame and just gave it a carb clean and fired up like it had been running the day before
I'm gonna attempt this!! My buddy gave me a nice trx 300 that has sat for 3 yrs. If I can get it running he's gonna give me another one! Your video is perfect!! Thank you!! I'll let u know how it goes!!
I love this guy. very clear and easy to understand.
What would you recommend for the choke valve being stuck inside of the carb. 92 fourtrax 300 with a loss of power at 3/4 throttle or more
Great video... Much better than any others I have seen. You saved me, because I had the carb off of my 400, and I had taken out all the jets for cleaning, but then noticed I had an extra piece that had fallen out. It was the little piece that goes in before you screw in the main jet emulsion tube.
Not sure if I would have ever figured out where it went without this video. THANK YOU!
Good stuff D-Ray!
Just bought a Honda 300 for 300 bucks it won’t idle right and needed a spray of starter fluid to get it on this is very helpful thank you so much
This video is great at helping a novice like me on cleaning a carburetor. When I took the slide and the diaphragm out the diaphragm is brittle and it is cracked in manny places does that hurt at all?
Thanks
Kyle
Watched all three of your video and they were very informative. I'm working on a friends 2001 TRX350FE ATV. I'm at the point of taking out the Choke cable and loosened the nut all the way out, but the cable will not come out.....any ideas
Thank God for guys like you... :-)
Great video D-ray, really detailed. Like it.
Excellent video and explanation of how everything works. Many thanks.
Best how to video I have come across. Outstanding job. Thanks
Love ur vids i looking to get a 4x4 four wheeler but not sure which one to get as far as part availabel and after market
great detail! going to watch part 2 now
thank you d ray I rebuilt my carb on my 88 got the moose kit runs great bought it not running very gratifying doing yourself 1 question how do you put into reverse
I've had problems with my TRX 500FA8's carburetor so I've been watching tons of these videos on CZcams. This one had the best video quality with a great zoom, good clear presentation, bad-ass music 😂 and this happened to be the only one that solved one of my big headaches! I disassembled the carb after watching couple of these videos. Easy enough! But while cleaning the carb, one small nozzle suddenly fell off. I had no idea where it belonged to! Well, it was the nozzle at 9:30 on this video.
The two other problems is that my carburetor was missing the jet holder and the idle mixture screw has no groove in it. It has a cylinder-shaped top with a small notch in it. If it had another notch on the opposite side, it could (in theory) be opened with a spanner. But it only has a notch on one side so I'm thinking that whoever put it in there didn't want it to be touched at all. Fair enough! One less part for me to toy with. But the missing jet holder puzzles me. Has it been missing since from the factory or did they forget to put it back in at Honda service.
Thank you man very helpful video
great video very well done
4/29/24 Just ordered a china one off Amazon. Never messed with this before, no shop, outside. Just swapped it out with new carb an took 3 hrs, first time..Ez fix. started right up, few hurdles butnot many. Now I will try an clean my old one. .. but ya, was a little bit intimidated cause shit never goes like use to. in an out, would be like 2 hours but changed out to new hoses, an when re assembling some little quarks have to work threw as first time ya did it.. but ya ........not bad at all.. Didnt realize 1 bolt an tank is off.. ezzy breezy.. thanks man!!!
Where do you get your in Line fuel filters. What size are they and who makes them. I like that they are clear.
I used this great video to clean and rebuild my carb using all original hard wear. Its running and before it was not.
Thank you for your tips of the trade
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I needed to know which way that piece above the main jet goes in for my 400ex and this solved it for me!!
Thanks Jeff!
Great video. Mine is a 1999 so the intake tube is different (don't know how you'd snorkel it), but all the rest - disassembly hint etc were very helpful. Thanks
Thanks a lot for the video, very helpful!!
Outstanding 3 part series!!
Great job, D-Ray!
Awesome video, great quality.
Thanks Ronnie!
Great video and thanks very much for the detail. Definitely the most thorough video out there for this work. After getting everything together, my overflow is leaking fuel. Any reason why you can think that would happen. Thanks in advance.
First off I want to say thank you for all your videos on the older Hondas. They have been very helpful. I have a question that I just can't seem to find the answer to. I have a 1988 trx300 that idles fine and revs fine in neutral and runs good in reverse but will misfire in any forward gear with more than about 10% throttle. Any ideas?
Dray.......my bistarter valve doesnt match up with the new one i bought......looks like the new one is internal somehow. It is the right carb...any idea how to adjust for this? thanks!
If the tank is pretty rusty, is it better to replace w a plastic tank, or OEM ? or have you tried acid cleaning and coating w a product from Eastwoods; tank coating. Got a good web site to find cheap parts at? got a 96 with rusty tank. Good video, I just got mine apart in a few mins.
I am rebuilding a Honda 250 ES carb. When I removed the emulsion tube there was no small tube under it. Should there have been one there? Thank you for your response
Dray, I have a 1985 Honda Big Red 250 ES. The other day I could not get it to run properly. It would only run at full choke and when I gave it no choke and pushed the throttle it would start back firing and die. Normally, I only buy non ethanol gas but the only gas station that had non ethanol went out of business so I had to start using ethanol gas. Does it sound like a carb problem to you or air in the gas line? Like I said when i decrease the choke and give it throttle it back fires and dies. Appreciate any feed back.
most useful video ive seen!!!! thanks!
Great series of videos, thanks bud
Great job easy to see how it is done good camera work
Got any suggestions for a non-oem fuel petcock that doesn't cost a bundle and actually works and has the right size fuel hose nipple ?
Great vid ,helped my dang old y'all honda TRX 300 ,yippee
What version Keihin carbs are these in a 91 TRX300?
I have been going through different aftermarket and kits and having issues with infrequent use and ethanol in fuel,
The needle seems to corrode and have to tear down and sand sides of needle every other week if not driven weekly, and esp if not driven over winter, tired of pulling apart, do they make a brass needle or something with corrosion protection so this doesn't happen every time i want to ride? OEM was brass but tip was viton and had ridge so couldn't just use it in aftermarket.
OEM someone drilled out choke issue and went offbore so junk, so wither I have to pick up a used carb and roll dice, or find a kit that actually works, anyone lese with this issue and what I assume the use of ethanol in the fuel? Tried additives, they seem to hold it off so maybe get 2 weeks at best, but never a month or an off season...
Great video. close-up was very useful. I'm missing the choke jet plug. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi, can you tell me what year this Honda is, mine is exactly the same but I don't know the year, cheers
Great information! I have a 2001 Yamaha Kodiak 400 runs great to about 35 MPH then you let off throttle then it back fires and you have to stop and start it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This was a pretty well-made video. Good job.
Thanks for your info and videos. helped a little on my 250.. Slightly diff from the 300. lol...
amazing.i did the way you show it but the choke one is stuck I got the plastic nut loss but the cable doesn't want to come out.i can see the little spring but anyways I putt DW-40 in there see what happends
Question for you. What causes my 99 trx 300fourtrax to cut out at mid to high throttle? Ive already cleaned the carb. Could the coil cause this? Thanks in advance, Jamie
great video Ray!! thanks
Great video.i think I can dio it now. 1 Question my flote valve is sticking what is the chances of carb.being adjusted after rebuilding it
hi I've got a 98 honda 300 with a 95 motor and after I swapped my engine I don't have a lot of power in the higher rpm range and the revlimiter is gone it just revs until the valves float but I know that it's bad for it but I got mad and held it wide open in neutral. could it be cdi? or carb it doesn't sputter but it pings when I start it when it's hot! please help!
Hello D-ray first I like to say thanks to u I fix my four-wheeler but I have a question the exhaust get cherry red hot I don't know it's normal it's my first toy so I don't know much about it
I have a 1986 honda fourtrax 350, with new carb, plug, fuel pump, filter and new gas and it still bogs down about 3/4 throttle. And I have tried adjusting the air/fuel mixture screw from 1 1/2 all the way to 2 3/4. It runs best at 2 3/4. But still Boggs, any ideas? Maybe clogged up muffler???
Hey DRay is there anyway I can get the carb apart of one of the screws are striped thanks
so which way would you turn the mixture screw to make the engine puse do you tighten or loosen the screw thanks
hey I have a Honda 300 but my tank has rusted what can I do to fix this without replacing the tank
hey bud what material brush did you use to clean the carburetor bowl with? was it copper or stainless steel?
Thanks for the video. Could you please give me the part number of the Motion Pro Tool you used to adjust the air speed/idle mixture screw? Thanks again.
Dude you saved me on this one thank ye
Thanks for the video!
I have a 1990 honda 4trax that will start and run however as soon as you give it some gas it stalls and pops through the carburator. I have cleaned and refurbised the gas tank and cleaned the carb but still the problem persists. The bike was in fine running condition one day and then had this problem the next. The bike never quit just when you give it gas it wont keep running. Any ideas? could it be the cdi pack?
good video you get straight to the point
Great video, Thank you
hey d-ray I have a 2006 Honda rancher and it would not start at all and I took the carb off then started t clean it and noticed the float valve was stuck closed so I replaced and put back together and know it only runs with the choke pulled all the way out and if you push it in the four wheeler will die. I took it back apart and cleaned the jets and still have the same problem. please help
great video I have a question have you worked on a 150cc go kart with a KF carb w/auto/electric choke?
It could be either the left or right crankcase cover, or the center cases themselves. When tracking down an oil leak, I start by pressure washing all the oil off, let it dry, then start the machine and look under it with a light to find the source. Best of luck to you.
Helped me get my 87 350d back together, thanks alot
Hey D Ray, I just bought a 1985 Yamaha YTM 200E. It starts right up, runs strong. The problem I’m having is when you start it, it sounds like it wants to take off like a plane. The idle is way to fast. The idle adjuster isn’t working, doesn’t do anything. Do have any guidance you can offer as far as where to start with this thing?
thanks so much i did what you said and put it back on and it fired right up
