2003 Honda Rancher 350 carburetor fix

I had a 2003 Honda rancher 350 that was not running properly, it was sputtering and was acting like it was flooded out, so I took the carburetor apart to see if there was anything inside that would be making it run like this and I found a lot of gunk inside that carburetor and jets. Honda ranchers if not taking care of properly have a bad problem with their carburetors getting filthy, I used carburetor cleaner and a air blower and I cleaned it out and made it run like new so make sure you run premium/non-ethanol gas in all your Four Wheeler's and small engines to make them run better and longer. this will work pretty much the same on any Honda rancher from 2001-2006Thank you for watching please comment or hit thumbs up if this video was helpful.

I watched this for a minute and thought it was my brother. So as I was watching he says:"got to be careful with that right here" and then drops the carburetor. That's when I said "yep this has got to be my brother." But after a few more minutes I realized it wasn't my brother. Now I am trying to confirm if I'm related to him some how.
Anyway, the video helped me feel comfortable with forcing the carburetor loose. I have forced things in the past, well a lot of things, and broke them. Thanks for the help.

Thank you very much for posting this. You saved me a lot of frustration and money!

[@Killerbee3973]

Want to thank you for the good info just cleaned my carb on 2004 rancher 350 and your vid helped a lot. Thanks

[@AaronRankin]

I like to shut off the gas and run it until it dies before i put it up for a while. Then there should be almost no fuel inside the carburetor. I also do that with a moped that i leave inside my home to hopefully lessen the smell of raw fuel. Thanks for sharing.

[@garypotts7120]

Good on you mate good video well done

[@staceynevill1357]

I loved it!!

[@yopage]

My 2005 Rancher was running that way. The choke cable going into the carburetor was the problem.

[@benicealltime5051]

was the choke stuck or what was the issue, i have that problem now out of the blue

[@BillyMansfield87]

Thanks!

[@miked8227]

Save yourself a lot of work and add Startron additive to all your gasoline engines and tanks. Not stabil but startron.

[@michealgray533]

i swaped a 03 rancher 350 carborator onto an 87 350D afr seems ok if a little lean but it does the exact same thing *sometimes* off of idle, ill be sure to do this and return with an edit

[@markmoore7042]

2nd best 4-wheeler honda ever made, 1 was this old 250 recond, i did everything i could to break it ao i could het a new one. And i mean everything. And it would start right back up evert time. Now i would sell or for antrhung

[@trollercoaster6819]

I've got some antrhung!!

[@joelester5572]

Yeah my favorite one was the Honda 300, I just don’t make them like they used to for sure, all the electronic stuff on them nowadays is crap

[@robertunger709]

Thank for I thought I blew up my top end

[@nomad6665]

Hi, just wondering does the Honda four trax 300 have the same carb as the rancher 350?

[@davidelliott5201]

That's what mine is doing.

[@joelester5572]

Yeah it’s a problem with those 4 wheelers for sure!
Hope you get yours fixed!

[@jimimiddlefinger5722]

Good video. My 2006 just went to shit all at once. Idles fine. Bogs on acceleration and dies if I open the airbox lid. So I'm assuming it might be lean.
Hoping its bad gas or water (we hada hell of a t-storm here in N Wyo last nite) in the fuel.
But if its the carb I'll at least have a running start on getting it off. Thanks for posting.
Ves heil

[@MrWoogieoogie]

Pilot jet is clogged

[@user-kk1vp2pn5n]

nice seat

[@MrTruckerf]

Haha! Yeah,it has been used. We get em to ride, not look at.

[@evionenavarro3140]

I need to know where the berry bottom hose attaches too. On mines it just dangling leaking gas

[@MrTruckerf]

It is supposed to just dangle. But if it has gas coming out out that tells you the carb needs some work or replaced.

[@lilwhitec4]

I have one I bought a Amazon carb for , less than 50 bucks , it idles extremely high , thinking of buying another carb

[@MrTruckerf]

You can adjust the idle or maybe you did that.

[@dolaward]

At 1:29 what is that hose in the middle of the screen and where does it go? Thanks

[@SaabAholic]

steve71 its just a drain for the air box in case oil or water somehow finds its way in there.

[@lukeguillory5463]

just put new carb on and the drain at bottom of bowl drains the gas on constant basis and the screw is all the way closed. anyone can tell what t5he problem may be. i think someone put the wrong screw in it because do not think screw is all the way in

[@joelester5572]

Luke Guillory
It could be a wrong size screw, or it could be the seal on the screw itself or the jets might not be adjusted right and is letting to much gas in the bowl.

[@morganjones3980]

But isn't premium gas for vehicles with a turbocharger or a Mercedes-Benz

[@joelester5572]

All premium gas is, is gas with additives. I prefer using non-ethanol gas and then adding my own fuel additives to it, no telling what the gas people put in there

[@spatrickm777]

Not 1 mention of how to remove the throttle cable?! You focused on the choke too much and gave zero info on how to get that damn throttle cable disconnected!

[@joelester5572]

Yeah I apologize on that, it was the first how to video I ever did so I just forgot to mention that part, my apologies on that.
I hope you were able to get yourS fixed up tho and working.

[@rodneychapman197]

Sir. You did just fine for your first video. Don’t you let one or two loud mouths bother you! Thanks for making the video! Videos like yours have helped me tremendously and have helped me fix about a dozen different things!! You keep making videos ole buddy!! I’m just an ole country boy down in Bama and I greatly appreciate you guys! I’m a Stihl chainsaw guru and if you don’t know EXACTLY how to choke it to crank it.. Well.. You ain’t cranking it! Lol Being that I love Stihl I’m thinking about making a video on how to crank a Stihl chainsaw since so many people don’t know how to crank em and they get frustrated and wanna throw that saw in the ditch!!! If you have ever tried to crank a Stihl chainsaw then YOU ALREADY KNOW!! Again, keep on making videos my man!!
