Oh my. I just spent about five hour’s watching videos, draining gas, removing and cleaning my carburetor, trips to the auto store for cleaner and hoses, And reassembled the Honda. Nothing. Checked spark. Nothing. Watched this video and he mentioned the kill switch. Yep. It was the kill switch. Thanks for these vids.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports Subscribed? Thanks for the reminder. Looking forward to more great vids in the future.
Got real close to that one time dude! It gets in your mind ya know! I swear.

Plz help.....ty also found a blown fuse were the battery is located...replaced it then the neutral light started working again but the oil light never came on for a second like its suposed too...any ideas guys..???
The kill switch was faulty or you had it on?

I tap on the CDI box a couple time and the sparks came back! It surprisingly works ! Thank you !
It won't be long and that trick will stop working. I would get one on order. Thanks for watching!! Let us know if you need anything else. www.midnebraskamotorsports.com/
You called it! No spark from a test, and plugged it back up, tapped the cdi box, and it started the 1st crank .... bad cdi box, thank you!!

Hey man I have a Honda foreman 450 es it was driving fine and now when I select gear it doesn't move forward do you have any idea what it could be ?
Thanks for the video! I've followed all electrical lines and found no breaks or damage whatsoever, replaced the coil, and kill switch assembly (Complete left bar switches) after my 91 TRX 300 lost spark, but the cheep Chinese ebay CDI box only managed to take out my starter relay. Now that I've replaced the relay, is there A link, website, or part number you can provide, to purchase the correct CDI box? Thanks in advance!
I have a question. I just put in a new battery on my Honda fourtrax and the only way it will crank is by kick start. It starts the first kick every time and runs great but won't start electronically. The lights come on fine, I just can't get it to crank any other way than kick starting. Solinoid issue possibly?
Big help thanks a lot. very issue I had and wasn’t sure where the cdi was 👍
Happy to help. Thanks for watching. Many more videos on this machine yet to come
Found a 1984 TXR 200 in the barn of a property I bought last year. I tried to start it today unfortunately no spark. I am assuming the 84 I have is similar to the one in your video correct? Thanks for sharing all your valuable info, I am dead set on getting this old jem running at some point and can take all the help I can find.
Hi, just recently purchased a 1996 Honda FourTrax 300 2x4. I know these are cold blooded machines, as I used to own a 1986 Big Red, so I'm used to that. However, mine starts up no problem, but after I turn the choke off, it idles good, but as soon as give it the gas, it chokes out? If i leave the choke on a little bit, then I can give it gas no problem. Do i need to clean the carburetor or is there something else I need to check? Even after it's run for a little while, if i'm riding it and slide the choke all the way off, it stalls out. Thank you for any advice you can give me.
Thanks dude I just spent half the day trying all my little methods. Wiggled the cdi box tapped it kinda hard and big spark thanks.
NICE. Love comments like this. Thanks for watching. Let us know if you have an questions! Let us know if you need parts: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
Love the older Honda videos 👍
i love them to!
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports I figure that’s why there is so few videos of working on them on CZcams because they don’t tear up much. Lol
ANYBODY PLEASE HELP so I have a 1987 Honda fourtrax 125 it’s ran every year but this one I changed the spark plug ignition coil cdi box oil filter air filter the whole 9 yards but the reverse and neutral are on at the same time it dosent turn over and I can’t shift up past 1 also my “kill switch” the quad still tries to turn over even if it’s not on the start setting
Yeah this is exactly my issue. Rap on that CDI and fires right up. Do you recommend a cheap one or an OEM. price difference is about $150.
Can I put any spark plug on my or i have to get it from the dealer?????
Plz help....have no spark, when i turn the key on the neutral light comes on but the red oil indicator light doesnt come on for a sec and go off like it should...i was riding and it bogged down and went boutta mile then quit...the battery boiled over, I found a blown fuse and replaced it and the green neutral light started working again..I have neutral light and reverse only it cranks over good...i replaced the oil sensor and still no spark....help plz..
Very very helpful. Thanks

I have a 1995 300 four-wheel drive Honda and it's fires every time I cut off the kill switch but no fire on the plug when I'm turning it over but if fires one time every time I turn the kill switch off this sat for one year at somebody that's supposed to know what they're doing never found out what is wrong yet new pc and still dont fire
My Honda1996 300 4x4 atv won't start when pressing the start button. I need to jump the solenoid then it starts. Please help reply please..
Ordering cdi box now thanks
Neutral light comes on but the oil light dont come on for a second then go off like it always has......what could the problem be, ibe lost spark also.....plz help.....??????
Appreciate your videos they’re a big help. If you can answer a question, I’d appreciate it. I replaced all my electrical even my ignition switch on Honda Fourtrax 300 but I don’t have spark. Any thoughts thank you.
same for me
My question is what causes the CDI to go bad. I've fried 2 since I got my 99 300. Granted they were the cheaper ones, thankfully. Don't want to spend $150 on an OEM and have it fry too! Any help appreciated
the oem ones will last you years. most of the mid 90's are just now being replaced....or have been in the last 5 years. That's a life expectancy of 25 years. I would give an aftermarket one an expectancy of 1-3 months. If you've made it past that, go play the lottery because you are one of the lucky ones. THEY ARE JUNK! Bad design is where Honda failed. But then again, most things don't last 25 years anymore.
Thankyou that's cool thanks

Engine would crank and crank. Tapped cdi box and then fired right up. Thanks for the help!
I found out my 300 91 fourtraxs it just needed a new regulator rectifier and it shock the carp out of me run it around the yard and it blow a 15 amp fuse going to the key now I am lost ???
Thanks Jerry!!
Please help me I blow a 15 amp fuse going to the key but after I put a new regulator rectifier on it but it was missing the Black but it got spark it stated for the first time in 3 years ( cleaned and put new gas & filter on it ) but after about 5 minutes or so it just shut off now I have no spark or neutral light or oil & reverse light the red wire same to have shorted at the switch ??? Help
It's hard to know for sure as it really could be any wire grounding out. Like this video suggests the CDI is a HUGE issue on these and I wouldn't rule that out for yours. If you've bought a cheapo reg/rec I would say you're back to square one. These are junk and I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw your fourtrax. Let's start with what brand of reg/rec did you get? Second, any black or burnt wires at the connector of the reg/rec? Third, I'm sure you've check for chewed up wires. Sitting that long my guess is mice have gotten into the harness. Inspect every inch of it and let me know. Thank you for watching and the comment.

I got my 2000 honda foreman fourtrax 400 to my place and I'm gonna work on it once it gets warmer. I've got to change the stator cause it has zero spark. I've changed everything I can think of to try an get spark but that's the last thing that I've been avoiding cause I dont know how to change it without taking the motor off the frame. Is there any way you'd be able to upload a video of you changing the stator for the foreman 400 while it's on the frame? You also helped me clean the carb for the fourwheeler when I got it running the first time
put your CDI in the oven! trust me, 250-260 faren for 10 min.
stator can be tested, all yellow wires should have continuity
@@valleywrenchin how do you test the stator?
Mine makes a sprinkler sound and it won’t start I tried to bump start it and it won’t work either what do you recommend?
sprinkler sound? like a buzz. Possibly battery or stuck starter. you can't kick start it? Let me know what you find. Hit the subscribe button as we have a lot more videos coming out on this machine. If you need parts or tools for the job check us out at www.midnebraskamotorsports.com/
I replaced the cdi box no spark, I put new spark plug and coil still no spark also new ignition coil and battery thinking the stator. Is there a pick up coil on the stator any other ideas? 1996 honda trx300
My stater is only putting out 7 volts
I just wanted to say thanks for the info ,I'm almost sure your right. I'll let you know if that was the problem

Why does my Honda fourtrax not getting power like it doesn’t go fast like it used too
Do you have an updated link for a replacement CDI?
Just changed it in the video details. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I bought new icb alarm and coil/plug. Still nothing. I even pulled them off my 250 and tried those as I know they work. Still nothing🤯. Powers going to coil box but nothing to the spark plug🤔
U ever figure it out...???
I've still got no spark after changing out the CDI and coil and spark plug. Is the stator the next most likely problem?
Quite possibly. First, have you checked your on/off switch on the left handle switch. You'd be surprised how many times this gets people. Thanks for watching and the comment. Let us know if you need parts or have any questions: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports Yea, that switch is in the right position. I also have gone on to check the stator and all the omh readings are correct and there's no short to ground. Seems I have to keep back tracking until I find the problem.
I changed the CDI box, coil and plug and still don’t have spark. What’s the next best step?
The real question is. Did you buy the knock off stuff on amazon or something quality. If you purchased the knock off parts, you really still don't know if those parts you replaced are bad or good. I'd stick with quality brands: OEM, Moose, Ricks Electronics. Those are the ONLY 3 I would recommend for this project. Thanks for watching and the comment.

My Honda 300 starts Most of the time with the kick starter, but the start button is Dead? Any ideas??? Battery is fairly new & fully charged!
I have the same problem. Nothing happens when I push the start button. It's in neutral and the battery is new. I tried jump starting and nothing.
Could be a couple things. 1. check that your run/off/run switch is in the correct position. You'd be amazed how many times that fixes it. 2. @sd rebel32 mentions the neutral switch, does your light up? If not that will need taken care of (sensor on the clutch cover) 3. If battery is good, the next thing I'd swap out is the starter relay. I have a video coming out on a test for that make sure you subscribe to my channel so you know when that comes out. Basically jump the 2 posts (very carefully) and see if it fires. If it does, more then likely you've got a bad relay. If none of these fix it let me know.
Solenoid probably
New cdi no spark. So ordered another cdi just to make sure I didn’t get a bad eBay special. Still no spark. New coil. No spark. New on off handlebar cluster. No spark. New fuses and battery. No spark. What do you think else I need to check ? 1995 model
Is the neutral light on? Let me know what you find out. Sorry you’re having issues. We’ll get to the bottom of it. Thanks for watching and the questions.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsportsit’s on and all that works. Thinking maybe stator may be bad. 12 pole. I hate to do a full electric rebuild but sometimes it’s easier than patching things. Idk.
Hey my Honda FourTrax 300 doesn't have spark and done replace the coil and CDI box and it still doesn't have spark
New spark plug? OEM CDI or some knockoff? Let me know and we'll go from there. 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
My 300 fourtrax shuts off after heating up changed ignition coil still stalling after cooling down starts heats up stalls any solutions
I'd say bad CDI. Thanks for watching Floyd! Let me know what you find!
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports It was cdi thanks
1998 honda fourtrax 300 starting problems
30% of the time electric start works, 70% of the time you have to use the kick starter. I think it is the starter solenoid what do you think?
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports it just ticks when you hit the start button but it's not a dead battery kind of ticking it just ticks once
Starter
What kind of oil you used in the 300
I like the castrol 10w40 semi-synthetic oil: amzn.to/3XjIsB9. Otherwise a cheaper, but decent option is: amzn.to/43O2Sou NOT car oil.
engine will not spin over with the start button what are some ideas on how to fix this. it will start with the kickstart.
I have soooo many questions: Does it make a buzzing noise? Or click? Is your battery charged? Getting power through the switch to the starter? Give me some direction and I will help further. Thanks for watching! Also snag one of these: www.ebay.com/itm/333931706403
What kind of battery do you recommend.
300CC Honda TRX300 FourTrax 300, 1988-2000 ATV Battery - 12V 12AH (200 cca) This is a compatible Honda 300CC TRX300 FourTrax 300, 1988-2000 ATV battery that is AGM Maintenance Free.
Funny story, my quad suddenly died on me with no spark. Im not a machanic AT ALL. So i replaced the spark plug....nothing. so i thought "right, next step would be to replace the ignition coil." So i order one and a week later I put it in the bike and...still nothing. Another few days go by and im just about ready to give up and trash it. I type my problem into youtube and this video popped up. When you started talking about the killswitch which i have never touched. So i thought id just check the killswitch and BOOM! The thing fired right up. It turns out i must of accidentally touched it while i was loading the quad with wood! 3 weeks and $50 gone because i didnt check to see if the killswitch was off! 😂 Classic. You just gotta laugh at these things ae?
WoW!! feel like you oh me at least $20! jk. Thanks for the comment and for watching. And for trusting that what I say might actually be what is happening. You'd be blown away at how many times this fixes the "no spark" for people. Thanks again, let us know if you need anything. www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
would there be a reason they would keep going out? i have gone through 3 of them and they keep working for a day then dieing.
what keeps going out?
Cdi box
Another way to fix the CDI box is to put it in the oven at 250°F for 10 minutes and then let it cool down and retry it, it works 8 out of 10 times normally. Good luck
I bought a cheap eBay battery and got 6 years or so out of it. Bought another one and got 3-6 months. I just think it's a quality control thing and there not consistent
Ya take some ya loose some. Unfortunately, some people can't afford to take that risk. I agree with you tho. There are some decent knockoffs. 1 out of 14,000 roughly. : )
My oil sensor don’t work because I ran out of oil and nothing happened on the light
That's a bad day. is your motor shot?
I changed the CD box and I still have no spark. But Chang the box was the first thing I did
Have you checked your on/off switch. I know it seems silly but you'd be surprised how many people miss this. Thank you. And thanks for watching. Let us know if there is anything else you need! www.midnebraskamotorsports.com/
Forgot about that little kill switch. Not the first time either sad to say.
I'll throw a wrench at ya....I have a very clean original '86 Fourtax 350 4x4 that has good spark, clean carburetor, good air filter, good starter, good battery, fuel pump works, good fuses and good 100 octane fuel that is an absolute NO START. This thing won't even try to pop. Getting ready to just part it out in my eBay store as I am tired of throwing hours into this thing.
No spark on these Hondas, put the CDI in the oven! 250-260 Farenh degrees for 10 min! youll be amazed!
No way
My 300 had D7EA with. .700mm gap
No. Fire. To. The. Ignition. Switch

Those battery's are trash, even Walmarts cheap Batts are a much better option
