  • Bought this water damaged Honda ATV a few weeks ago and now it is decision time, will it run or should it be considered parts. In this video, we will get it rolling by fixing one of the front tires. The engine integrity and compression will be tested. After draining the foul gas from the carburetor a cold start will be attempted. Unfortunately, my favorite portable CDI box appears to have failed. Luckily, the backup functioned and we found some life in this well worn Honda Fourtrax 300 4x4!

    I'd check the rearend grease first and then check for wheel bearing problems. Seems like a decent price for a 4x4 machine. 👍👍

    Hi Harvey, I’ve replaced gears and bearings in couple of those Honda rear ends in the last few years with good success. They are not hard to work on. Thanks for the videos.

    Good class. Check the parts breakdown from the driveshaft to the ring and pinion, I've seen the clearance get too large and make everything wiggle under power as it gets to the pinion. Look for a guy on you tube called Dee Ray [don't quote me on the spelling] from Arkansas that rebuilt the same rear end in his video a while back, In a 2 or 3 part series. The ring and pinion don't get marked with that yellow marker like in auto rears. As soon as I get a chance I'll look at vids that might help, I got a guy in Bing. that broke down the same machine and is selling the parts on CL for $300. Din't know him but one of my guys deals with him and might be able to get more info. Good project!

    My First step on every old machine I work on like this, is cleaning it up and removing brocken or stuff falling appart like that rear fender and those stupid lights and PLS remove all that dirt and leaves on there before you even touch any mecanicak thing on there😅. Thats my way of working, i guesse we each have our methods🤷‍♂️

  • @davekimbler2308
    @davekimbler2308 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Is it possible that the crunch is coming from the brake drum and not the differential ? Man that one needs a bath ! Hahaha ! I haven’t tried the Alum-a-rod yet , fingers crossed ! The JB weld wouldn’t hold because of the presents of oil but I will flip the motor over ( emptied oil ) and dry it and try again ! I do have an acetylene torch that I will use !

    You do your hotwire entirely too difficult. Just disconnect the key switch and you should get spark. The only thing is charging system isn't working

  • @thompsonce

    Its not the diff thats the problem its the little baring on the break side that is grinding the hole rear end id a pice of crap if you get a chance to find a 350d Forman rea end put it in it and the cdi box and stuff are all good and the transmission wont be blown its strong and i got a 1994 honda trx 300 4x4 all you had to do is make shure it had gas and it would run
