Thanks! We appreciate you watching and subscribing!

Can’t tell you the last time I felt obligated to like a video. Very well done. So clear, informative, and helpful. 5/5 would recommend.

Absolutely a great video. Thank you for posting it. I was going to try and clean my carb up and use all the parts I had without a parts kit. One thing I did learn was not get carb cleaner on the O ring on the pilot jet. It was old and had a few cracks but the carb cleaner tended to make it swell up and it would not fit back down in the hole. Needed replacing so no big deal. Just posting to maybe help other people out.

Just did this on my 2001 Rancher 350 4x4 electronic shift. Worked great. Idles nicely now, starts right up, and runs like it should. Thanks!

Great video, very informative and no nonsense side talk. Straight to the point and very clear directions. You guys are doing KZread the right way.

14:36 this guys just broke his glasses and put them back together 😂

Great video. Thanks for the clear instructions. Made it’s easy to fix our carb ourselves. We saved a lot of money. Thanks again.

My man, you helped me so much with this, I will feel much more confident when I try to go into my carburetor next time. I really appreciate you taking the time for this video I really do. Thank you bud 🙏

Great Video .... 2005 Honda 350 4x4... I soaked the striped Carb in New Carb cleaner for 1 day... wasn't sure where the small spring fell out of and didn't see the small o-ring where the small spring was... your video helped putting the carb back together spring and o-ring etc and I set the idle mixture jet back to factory 1 3/4 turns... Quad runs prefect with ALL the Old Factory Parts

Great video. Thanks for posting. Mine would not idle due to the idle jet being plugged. Your video led me right to the solution. Thanks again.

Strait to the point with great instructions. Many thanks!

Wow you made that look easy! Thank you for your time making this video it was more than helpful.

I love your videos, so well done, and I only get my parts now from Partzilla. What comes around, goes around! Thank you. 😄

Very helpful videos. The best explained and detailed videos on youtybe. 👍

Excellent clear video, thanks. Off to do mine!

Excellent video thanks for sharing !!!

These videos are really good. Thank you.

Thanks John awesome video

One of the best instructional videos I have seen. A true professional !!

Thank you!

Thanks for the video. This fixed my rancher. Had the gas running out of the bottom of the carb.

This is a really informative video, thank you!

Good stuff, Mon.

I used the piece that the main jet screws into to push the new o ring into the hole for the air fuel assembly. When I tried to push the o ring in with the assembly,the o ring got pushed up on the spring because I was missing the washer and the kit didnt come with one. Good video.

excellent video. thats how you make a video where you can tell what to perform.

Quality, instructional video!!! I rarely slow down enough to comment but I felt compelled after this video.

Excellent video!

Enjoyed watching your video on cleaning the carb. It was very well done and easy to hear, some are not, smile. We have a 1987 TRX 350 Honda Fourtrax and it has been giving us some issue lately seeming to be running rich. We have cleaned everything and are wondering if you have any specific ideas on this issue. Thank you.

Awesome job

Great video.

Guitar strings make great jet cleaners there just the right size wire the high e string

Good video. But it leaves me wondering if how necessary is it for the float to be sitting level when turned upside down.

Hi love all vids clear and well spoken l am after a set of rocker arms for my Honda trx 300 all discontinued in England can you still get them over in America if so we’re thank s

Good video

Hey John, when you took the float bowl off around 06:12, shouldn't there have been a plastic jet holder that goes over the big jet? In a lot of on-line diagrams, it is referenced as #24, which is part number 16168-HC4-003. Maybe it is not needed?

Where does the vacuum line (i assume it is) with the Y in it go?

Got any videos on Polaris Rangers? Your videos are very informative. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Ebay. It's a brand new knockoff one but it works just fine.

When I took the cover off of the jets, the jet holder fell out and I’m not sure how it’s supposed to go back on. I didn’t see it it your video.

What is the electrical wire for?

I have a 2003 Honda TRX400EX and I'm looking to buy a new carb. The 2003 model of the carb is way more expensive than the 2005 model of it. Would the 2005 carb fit? Would there be a preformance difference?

Did you put the stetting collar back on over the main jet ? Thank you.

when I buy it new do I need to do any kinda of adjustments??

I've been having a problem on mine at the very bottom of the carburator there's a little hole where the overflow goes and it constantly leaks gas if I turn the screw for it to stop my atv won't start at all I need some sort of direction where I need to be going to get that fixed thanks

As per my question from yesterday, hubby is now wondering if you have any info on replacing the needle as although the machine is not high mileage it is older. Do you think a worn needle would cause a rich mixture stoping it from idling. He is hoping to hear back before he goes any further. Thanks in advance, Norah

Got a 99 TRX450S that when trying to adjust the fuel screw I can close the screw completely and the bike doesn’t even drop an rpm it seems. When would cause the rpms to not change at all?

Thanks for the video. Helped me tremendously. Had a Honda rancher that had set for 5 + years and the gas in the float bowl was gel. Any tips for cleaning out the gas tank so I’m not back to the same issue with carb after running for 30 minutes?

Use diesel fuel to flush it out but let the fuel set overnight. Shake vigorously the following day and empty out the fuel. Let the tank air dry with the cap off and then blow out with compressed air. That's what I did anyway and it worked great. I had to replace the petcock too because the little plastic strainer tube was toast.

When he says to “seat the jet”, what does that actually mean? Does it mean tighten it until you start to feel resistance?

Hello iv got honda trx 350 that won't start was going the day before fine. starter is working fine good spark good compression fuel is getting to carburettor is there anything else that I can do thanks

So we are working with our carb and the hose that’s still connected when you removed the carb, what is that for. Our machine is leaking fuel out that hose. Is something stuck or possibly broken? Thanks!

I’m in my Kawasaki prairie 700 it was running lean so I have two carbs here and I put in a cheap amazon kit and unfortunately it looks like the main jet I was replacing where is screws in there are 4 side holes and smaller holes on the stem but none down the center like one of the 4 have I’ve never seen this should there not be one? Im cleaning with torch head cleaner and carb cleaner and I cannot get the center hole to open worried these jets are wrong

Hi 😁question it shifts but not into reverse

I noticed that some of my fuel lines have broke and I’m unsure how they go back on. Can I get some help plz. Also what is the black thing on the line cause mine doesn’t have it.

I don’t know if i like Mikuni or Keihin CV carbs better.

william riggan possibly the intake valve

Hello, can you or anyone on here share with me the orientation of the idle/air mixture screw jet? You have the jet, a oring at the top, then the spring, and in the bottom of the of the carburetor, you have another oring and a tiny washer. So in the bottom, is it the washer first,then the oring? I just rebuilt mine, and after I slid the spring on, I put the metal washer on then the oring, and placed it all inside the carburetor. Anyone know the proper orientation? At 8:15 into the video, he lacked in showing how it came out in detail.

I need this Carb Repair Kit for a 2012 Honda Rancher TRX420FA. Can't find one anywhere on your website or anywhere else. Please help 🙏

2005 Honda 350 TRX FE,470 hours on machine, second owner 20 hours in ran fine. Now she won't start unless you flood it. Idles hard for a few seconds, gas starts to flow out of the air filter box breather tube (a lot) then stalls. Good spark on plug though. Obviously this needs a carburetor cleaning and rebuild but should I also purge and clean the gas line and tank? Should I also change the oil because of all that gas coming out of that crankcase breather. Informative video by the way.

Well, either there is debris or something is put together slightly off

This the same for a fourtrax?

Very helpful video, much appreciated! Couple questions: 1) my foreman sat for 7 months.. would just the old gas alone cause it to not start? Just asking because I took the carb apart and it wasn’t TOO bad (but cleaned it anyway). 2) Question on the slow jet inside the bowl area.. when I screw it back in you say “until it seats”.. is this pretty much until I start to feel resistance? Curious because after a few turns I feel the resistance but it still feels like you could screw it down tighter with a little more force.

@PartzillaParts

6 жыл бұрын

After only 7 months, it should start, it just might not run properly. That's a guess, it depends on conditions. Resistance could be debris on the threads, you will know when it seats because it bottoms out.

Partzilla Thanks for the quick reply. Just got the carb out back in after cleaning and fresh gas. Started right up and idles fine but when I went to drive it I could literally push the throttle wide open and would only reach a top speed of about 10 mph in 3rd gear. Obviously something is restricting something but I have no clue where to look to correct it. Any ideas?

You skipped which way the “hat” looking thing goes over the main jet after putting the float back in and then putting it back together.

Curious as to why you decided not to use all of the new parts from the Moose kit?

The parts that were not replaced were in really good condition, it just wasn't necessary. It's preferred to have OEM parts as long as they don't require replacement.

There is a hose with What appears to be an in-line filter that comes off the bottom of the bowl does that just hang free as an overflow or is that supposed to be connected on the opposite end to something?

@HondaTechMC

3 жыл бұрын

It’s supposed to hang down since it’s the overflow that way if the carb floods the gas flows to the ground instead of dripping onto what’s directly underneath the carb. Usually there will be a tab that’s supposed to guide the hose.

All the oem screws on any Japanese anything are JIS. "Japanese Industrial Screws"... are NOT a phillips head. A phillips screwdriver will ruin a JIS screw. JIS screwdrivers are excellent for JIS and Phillips screws. By design a Phillips head screw is to cam out and ruin itself when the screws engineered torque is reached. The newer design of a Phillips screw is called PoziDriv. It is designed not to cam out. Especially easy to strip are the oem JIS screws for the master cylinder cover. People ruin the head using a regular philllips. I've had to drill out a lot of them on ATVs and motorcycles. Once you get them out, replace with stainless screws. Best screwdriver I've found is "Vessel 220V" available on Amazon....it has #1,2,3 JIS...#2 and 3 Pozi Driv (new style phillips designed not to cam out when design torque is reached), and 6mm flat head driver. It has a ball grip and flat spots to allow tremendous grip.

your needle valve is passing gas ,you can adjust them by heating up float and bending needle holding area , over time gas will make float sag and not seat needle and allow gas to pass through , this is a problem on gravity fed carbs vs fuel pumped ones . float should be level when holding carb upside down . Its important to shut off gas valve on a gravity fed system when turn your machine off , if not and the needle is not seating you can fill your crankcase with gas and dilute you oil and burn out engine or it can leak out hose on bottom of carb and your whole tank will empty on ground , I always turn my gas valve off just before turning off ATV when finished driving for the day .

have you had to deal with any Honda carb floats sticking or fuel leaking from the bowl drain? (drained my whole tank one night)

Great videos, HONDA still builds good ATVs but they are not as Great as they use to be. The plating on the bolts, levers, etc are not anodized with yellow zinc like the did back in the 80s for example. They also don't powder coat the exhaust, frame, or even the wheels anymore. Take a high pressure hose to the wheels and watch the paint fly! I've been seen 250 RECONS less than 5 years old look 30, rust everywhere and the plastics fade easily, everything put together with push pins and they even fade lol.. unbelievable. I hate to say it but when they were built in Japan everything down to the nuts and bolts were correctly plated, plastics were thicker and better. They are made with lower cost parts made in different parts of the world like Indonesia etc.. cheap

I have the rancher 350. I did an engine rebuild and now it idles, but does pulse a little bit, but when i rev it to about 1/4 or so throttle, it begins to sputter and will choke off if you hold it there. I put a brand new carburetor on, cleaned the fuel tank and put fresh gas in, played with the fuel mixture screw, and nothing makes a difference. Any suggestions what to try next?

I have a 2004 rancher 350 2wd and I don’t know where the vacuum lines go that attach to the carb do they just go in the hole on the gas tank and vent in the air? Reason I’m asking is because I recently bought a new cab and it keeps running really rich and pouring gas out the over flow tube. Could my problems be from the choke cable not being hooked up? My cable was frozen have a new one on order. I’ve already tried another carb on it and same thing after being ran has a hard time starting like it’s flooded and leaks all the gas out till I shut off fuel supply. Someone please give me some insight and information on this it would be greatly appreciated

I've completely taken my carb apart, made sure all jets are open and clean with a tip cleaner, but I still can't get it to run. You have to cover intake of carb with hand to start, then it floods with fuel. Won't idle at all, if your lucky runs at full throttle a few seconds and dies. Almost impossible to start. What's wrong? I have two ATVs doing this. One ran fine, was shut off then never ran right after. Both units completely cleaned entire fuel systems and tanks. I can't figure it out. Any advice? One unit set up for years with bad gas. I thourghly cleaned it. Should I just replace entire carbs? Please help. I'm ready to sink two ATVs in my pond at this point..
