your videos are the reason my quad runs accordingly lol.
I don't even speak much English and just watching carefully do it helped me save more than 500 dollars. My family and I can't thank you guys enough! Muchas gracias!
I followed this video for partially rebuilding my 2006 TRX400EX carburator with the AllBalls rebuild kit. I honestly know next to nothing about carburetors, but this video helped. The video you have on the valve adjustment was key too. Quad runs perfectly now.
I hated that rebuild kit couple parts arent the right size compared to the oem the main was too small
Watching your videos gives me the confidence to do it my self. I'm already a hvac mechanic but this is a different beast .
ruben flores just got into the HVAC trade. I am currently a new home installer
Thank God for Partzilla. WHAT WOULD MOST DO WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE. So glad I just found their TH-cam.
Great video, got my quad running thanks to a few of his videos.
I have never done anything like this before and your video made me 100% successful! Thank you.
Great to hear!
Great video, this really helped me in cleaning my carb up and also finding my problem. My carb was missing the screw to the slider arm. It still ran but would not rev out and I couldn't figure out why. It has a ton more power now. Thanks for the great video.
This video worked on my 2000 Honda 400ex. Thanks!!
Thanks for the videos you post , it really helps keep up the good work !
Thanks your video helped me get my 2007 trx400ex going...
+Garth Morris: Glad to hear it, Garth! Happy to help.
So many Thanks to you for these videos, I'm never to worried while buying n trading my atvs! Awesome Awesome explanations tips n great views n perfect part info just hit pause! Ty Ty
Thanks for making the vid, very helpfull, and most detailed that I have seen so far. Got my carb off and about to start breaking it down.
+easttxtycoon: Awesome! Thanks for watching Easttxt. Shoot us a comment if you have any issues breaking down the carb and we'll do our best to help. We also have an OEM diagram page detailing how everything goes together on the 400EX carb: www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Honda/ATV/2007/TRX400EX+A/CARBURETOR/parts.html
You are a great mechanic I would rather watch these then tv luckily I don’t have any of these problems
Great video, you fill me full of confidence to perform repairs.
That's what we love to hear. Thanks for watching, Walter!
A way to make an adjustment tool for the air-fuel needle on the bottom if the carb is on the bike or off.
Take a piece of hot glue melting it on the end jamb it up there letting it cool then trim off the excess on the sides.
Cut the hot glue to the length you need to get it in there. Put a mark right in front of you on the glue stick. Good to go:)
1/4 nylon tubing will work as well just get the tip of it rounded when hot before you push it up there.
These are the best videos to ever be made
Thanks! We think there should be some TH-cam Oscars or something.
Thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you I really appreciate that I have a 2002 model
Great video!
Thank you
Thank You.
Really good video, very helpful, thanks
+grillomix You are welcome. Will keep making more! Thanks for watching.
Great video...might need to rebuild mine soon...the 400ex doesn't idle very well...
Thank you!
You should make a video on a 300ex. How to rebuild the bottom end.
Thanks
love the videos
love your vids thank you for this
Thanks, Joe! Glad you like what we're putting out. See you around the tube!
Partzilla so I was putting the hoses back on. Should there be 2 hoses dangling?
Hello CamRides. You should only have one dangling. Its the one attached to the float bowl.
Why don't you have the "anti-cavitation device" in the float bowl? (the plastic piece around the main jet that helps keep the fuel from foaming at high rpm which will cause the carb to be lean)
Next video take out two bottom subframe bolts and push up! Giving you clear view of all of it!
Good breakdown. But I want to hear it run, at least Idol for 10 second But I saved the video in case I have to work on mine someday.
thank you sir, it works perfectly for me on a TRX400EX 2012. It's an amazing tutorial!
Thank YOU for watching!
Atv sounds as if it’s sucking air can that be possible a leak on the small hoses on the carb , it runs during the choke and without this video I was going to spend big money so thanks for the help , just one part of the float bowl wasn’t shown which was the plastic thing on the jet that’s very removable...
What cleaning solution do you use in your ultra sonic cleaner to clean carbs?
Thanx it helped me alot
You're welcome, Jose!
Right by my choke, there is a spout that is spitting gas out when get on the throttle while I’m driving. There should be a line there but I don’t know where it goes
Hello I have Keikhin carburetor modeled KTB and it has two black adjustment handles can you please tell me what those are for and how they work together briefly you’re awesome thank you.
do you need the baffle plate? I took my carb apart apart and it didn't have the d hexed shaped bolt for the air screw it was a flat head screw with a gasket
Will rebuilding my carburetor stop my overflow tube from leaking when i have my quad turned on during idle?
When I took mine apart there was another plastic holding the float. I put mine back together now it leaks all crazy. The rebuild kit I got has a seal that seems stretched, doesn't fit in the float bowl groove, is that normal? Carb leaks all crazy now.
The hoses that connect to that plastic "Y" port, what is the purpose of that line?
I have the same bike you worked on I cleaned the carb completely used air and carb cleaner to blow out all passages all jets are clean and free of any debris drained all fuel from tank replaced with fresh fuel fires up fine with throttle revs fine but won't idle... Any suggestions?? Thanks
I found the little black shock absorber looking gasket (.25" long about 1/8" diameter)/ bushing it's pictured in some of the rebuild kits, but you don't mention it, where does it go?
Great video! Started tearing down my carb for cleaning and rebuild, realized the throttle stop cable was broken off the thumb screw. I ordered a replacement from you guys, is there a video from Partzilla that explains how to remove and replace the throttle stop assembly on a 400EX?
+Rob B Not yet. We had moved on from the 400EX but are going back to it to cover a couple more topics. I'll throw this one back into the list.
Hey there, I cleaned out the ladies 400ex and while twisting down the throttle cable bolt to the carb i knowticed the mental tubing doesnt sit straight or to the right... it sits facing left when skrewed all the way down which interferes with the placement of the gas tank. Any ideas on what to do? Probably a no brainer but im having issues lol
Got a keihin carb can I take the jets out my old carb and use them in the new on I have moose racing cdi box airbox delete with k&n filter dmc alien slip on will I have to do additional tuning
What jets do you recommend for an open air box and a K&N air filter with a slip on white bros pipe?
do u guys sell the air fuel flow d shaped key
Very good videos you make, thanks a lot.Does it take many hours to rebuild a carburetor like this?One working day?
One day
Partzilla I’m lookin for a video for an 05 yfz450 carburetor rebuild. Thanks
Nice... part of my pump diaphragm pieces went flying.
Rebuilt the carburetor on my wife's 2005 TRX400EX yesterday because it was leaking through the overflow tube. Cleaned and replaced everything that came in the kit and the float needle, temporarily placed the carburetor back on the ATV and did a flow test, it failed, still leaking through the overflow tube. Any thoughts?
for the main jet the part that has the nut on it am i supposed to tighten it all the way down then tighten the nut
the nipple on the right side of the carb,facing the back end is that a overflow hose? I have fuel leaking from there so im assuming i need to clean the car but need t know f im supposed to have a hose there & if so where does it route?
Hello what solution do you use inside of the ultrasonic cleaner thank you?
I have a 2007 honda trx 400ex just gave the carb a good cleaning but cant figure out where the vacuum hose connects to. part number (95005-45001-50M ) It has a plastic Y piece close to the carb but got no clue where it goes on the other end. My stock petcock is not vacuum operated so where does it lead on the other end? It wasnt capped off. Cant remember taking it off when disassembling cant remember where it connected too...
do you have the hoses for sale as a package. I see I can buy all the individual pieces like clamps and hoses, but just wondering if I can buy all the hoses in one package. I do not need the fuel hose that goes to the petcock or the hose that goes from inside the throttle cover. just the two ports on the side of the carb and the other one by the bottom of the carb that is like an overflow or something
Thanks for the great videos! It helped me with the carb rebuild. I have a question: I rebuilt the carb on a Honda trx 400ex 2006. When I started the atv, it was started and ran for a a minute or so. It started a couple times right there and then. However, after those few starts, now it doesn't start. The engine turns over but that's it. It's got a new battery as well just so you know. Could it be the carburator? Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Hard to say...could be a pinched line, incorrectly connected or the air/fuel screw, needle valve...you could have missed some debris when putting it back together and clogged up the works. Best to just go back through it and see what you find.
Im looking to buy the seat for the float needle that you've got in the video. The problem is it doesn't show up on any parts diagrams. If anyone knows where i could find one it would be very appreciated.
Great video just wondering if this would be the same curb cleaning process for a 2004 Honda TRX 450r sportrax quad?
Regards
Process is the same, but the carb is slightly different, if I remember correctly.
I have a 2018 trx250x it started bogging i cleaned the carb(blew out the jets and all the holes) and it still boggs..any ideas?
if my quad dosn't rev all the way and bogs when i throttle it all the way down does that mea that i have to clean the carburetor
great video thank you. How can I get one of those D driver for the air/fuel mixture screw?
www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/aftermarket/XP-4815775.html
That should be the one!
What do you use in you’re ultrasonic cleaner ?
So what happens if you don't have a screen filter for the incoming fuel?
I just bought a 07 400ex and oil change and spark plug i can take the carb out no big deal but put it in back in place man those really tiny things
I am trying to figure out why my 4 wheel drive won't work on my Honda Trx 500, any suggestions?
you should do one on how to adjust the clutch springs to make it harder
Get heavy duty clutches
Please do a build series on 2004 trx450r
i didnt do a as though rough cleaning as this just the jets and bowl. I put it back together now it will not start at all just turning over once in a while get a small putt. There is spark and fuel going in what could it be??
2002 Honda 400EX. Backfires through carb will not idle stalls out. Runs fine up top pretty strong. Set for a while the person told me I purchased it from. Did a carb rebuild kit and still same issue. Help please!
I think its hilarious at the end, it barely turns over, and he says There u go lol a no sir let it idle and we'll see
I felt cheated there at the end too. All that for some bs little bump.
I was blowing air through the pilot jet hole and a little rubber plug popped out. Can you tell me where it goes?
Do you have a rebuild kit for a 2012 TRX400X? I cant find these part numbers when I look them up now.
There’s a hose on my 04 that I don’t know where it goes. It just hangs, when I shut off the quad it leaks gas. I plugged it off and now it wants to stall at idle. I looked everywhere for a place for it taking the length of the hose and searched all over for a location. Worked on cars all my life this has me baffled. Any thoughts???
What does the vacuum hose hook up to?
my 300ex jetted and stage 2 hot cam wants to idle fine at first for a few minutes then it starts idling way to high any ideas?
Is this the same carburetor for the 300ex? I'm having trouble finding the rebuild kit for it.
excellent a genius
Where the D tool goes for the air fuel ratio, i dont have a D shape, its indented in a bowl shape what should i do?
great video my carburetor leaks gas constantly from a small tube on the bottom facing to the rear what can that be even when its running
Most likely a stuck float or worst case a rebuild.
OK at 15:26 when you put on the float bowl. My 400ex has a little plastic basket that goes on top of the main jet.. What is the purpose of this? Why does that carb not have one?
what causes bogging? I've cleaned the carb a few times now, it idles fine bogs down on throttle snap.
What does the air cut off valve do?
What solvent do you use in the ultrasonic cleaner
do you have a video showing how to replace a choke cable on a 2006 trx Honda rancher 400fa ?
We haven't done any Rancher videos yet, but choke cable is a good idea. We'll add it to the list of repair video ideas. Thanks for the feedback, James!
Where can a person purchase that D style adjuster tool if you don’t mind me asking ?
Why didn't you check the holes on the sides of the Jets? Just because it sprays through the bottom of the jet doesn't mean it's getting vacuums through the side holes. Where do you get the mixture screw socket
How i adjust the idle on the carb?
Hello, I have a 2000 400ex. I rebuilt my carb tonight following your direction in this video. Thanks for the info. Question, when I got to the part where you use the d-shaped tool to remove the air/fuel mixture (at the 8 minute mark). On my carb it was not d-shaped and the head of it was practically flush with the top of what was screwed into. In other words, there was no where for me to turn it in (2.5 turns in your example) before backing it out. As a result, i don’t know how to set my air/fuel mixture precisely. Please sdvise. Thanks for your help.
The D Shape came in later years. Typically, you can put it at 2.5 to 3 turns out to start and adjust later if necessary.
so I tried so many things to fix mine at first it was leaking second I had to push the gas so it would turn on third I bought a new carburetor from amazon and it started to rive hella nasty last thing I cleaned the old carburetor and it didn't work
Hello, on my trx400ex - yesterday I took my carb out for easy access to my starter which I rebuilt. After putting the carb back in along with the airbox - i turned the gas on, I immediately noticed that I am getting fuel in my airbox. This was not an issue prior to my taking the carb out. Can you tell me what the likely cause of this is? Thanks...you make great videos and raise my confidence level when working on my 2000 trx400ex
First things first, check your hose routing. You may have crossed something up
what is the main jet measurement? the height of it ?
We’re is the carb drain for a 2005 trx 400ex
Where do the 2 hoses go from the carburetor? The one that T’s at the top and then there’s one on the bottom???
Im having the same problem lol did you figure it out?
Anybody know if this carb is also used on a 04 trx 450r?
Is this the same for a 700xx
Make video about set the float height, thanks great video!
I don’t think you can think the only way is to replace the float someone let me know if I’m wrong
You can’t on these 400’s they are plastic on some dirtbikes you can’t bend them to set your float height.
What must I do if my quad didn't want to idle
