When cleaning the tank, take the shut off valve apart. It has a tiny screen. Clean it out & put clean tank with fresh gas back on. I did that with a friend's machine this summer. It's been running perfect ever since.
I have a 1991 that's having a fuel issue. I've had the carb out and cleaned it up and still won't start. Your video reminded me to check the main and pilot jets (was more concerned about the needle / seat). I'll give it a shot. Tried replacing with a cheap new carb off of ebay, but the choke seemed different and required some effort to replace and still didn't work. Gonna go back to the original after I've checked the jets. She does have spark. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks for the reply! I worked on this for someone. I actually just bought one for the main reason of doing some more videos on the 300. Your feedback is appreciated, if you would like to learn more about it please subscribe as there will be more videos in the future. 2 differences, the atv is green and 4x4.
These carbs are pretty cheap on Amazon...I just bought a brand new one that comes with a new throttle cable, new air filter, inline fuel filter & a new spark plug for $41.89 after tax...while I have rebuilt carbs before, when I can get a deal like that, I'm not rebuilding anything...remove & replace...now if it's the carb on the Harley that's gonna run $500 or more, I'll rebuild that one...
Personally I'm not a fan of the Amazon carbs... a little part of me dies inside every time i buy a machine that has one on it. Other people feel the same... I also part machines out and consistently get 150 bucks a for a OEM carb even though there are those amazon carbs out there
@@brettleybuilt I guess... but I was able to fix the carb and have it back on the machine the same day. Also, I don't trust cheap Amazon replacements. If the air/ fuel mixture is off you can cause damage to your engine.
I totally agree i always just clean the stock carb the quality is unmatched...on the evaporust does it cause flash rust...? Thank you for sharing brother 🇺🇸
I do have some parts that I dipped in the evaporust and they do have some surface rust on them. But they have been left untreated. Honestly I would probably consider coating the inside of the tank if I did it again but the owner wanted it quickly. I told her to keep it full and a couple years later no complaints.
@@The.Odyssey Ten 4 i had about the same amount of rust & i cleaned mine with gas & rags shaking them around then let dry & used a vacuum it worked pretty well...then a good in-line filter...p.s. I never run it on reserve if I can help it ..its been 3years now thank you for your quick response 👍
Enjoyed the video. I have this same machine and it has been running fine and still does, however, when i crunk it up this past weekend, it was leaking gas like crazy out of the overflow tube. What would be causing that?
Float is probably stuck. I do prefer removing and cleaning, but you may be able to get it to stop by tapping the Bowl (bottom) of the carburetor. If doing this method I generally tap with the handle of a screwdriver.
Other issue could be an o ring underneath the needle seat (if equipped). I think I mention that in this video, if not I may have it in a blaster carb video
Replace the fuel line unless I am misunderstanding. If it's coming from the carb it could be a needle valve or float issue. If you need help understanding the carb then check out my blaster carb video, different machine but same basic concept.
You can go to Walmart and purchase a gallon of apple cider vinegar (with the mother) and this will also take care of the rust in the tank. It works fantastic, I have used this method a few times already with excellent results.
I will be posting a short, maybe also a video in the near future of the evaporust on a brake drum. I'm legitimately curious if you say it's as good. I'm thinking about going and grabbing some apple cider vinegar to do a side by side video.
ok sir i have a honda just like its the same as yours and mine will not get gas to the carb and when it starts it shuts off in like 3secs and i think its the carb can having a dirty carb make it so it will not kick start or stay runing
Hi Carter and thanks for reaching out. Yes, the carburator can keep your engine from running or make it run poorly. I would definitely check the fuel flow from the tank like I show in the video first as that is the easiest thing to diagnose. After you ensure that is good or that is fixed if you still experience running issues I would then dig into the carburator. If you need any help on how to check it out outside of what I have shown just drop a comment here again and I will be sure to get back to you! I need your help too! If you haven't please subscribe to the channel. There will be many more videos like this coming that will help you make repairs like this and more.

We have a 99 Honda fourtrax 300 2wd, thing is still in excellent shape with just normal maintenance over the years. Tough machines
When cleaning the tank, take the shut off valve apart. It has a tiny screen. Clean it out & put clean tank with fresh gas back on. I did that with a friend's machine this summer. It's been running perfect ever since.
Yes, that screen was stuck in this machine. Made things a little difficult but still got it!
Thanks for this...I fixed my 4 wheeler thanks to you!!!
Great to hear, thanks for watching!

Yes, always better to rebuild than replace. I'm not a fan of the cheap carbs online. Good luck, let us know how you make out!
Even though I don't have this atv. This video was still pretty interesting and I would definitely want to get a fourtrax 300.

Absolutely! The easiest way I have found to clean carburetors is to buy them on Amazon.

It may not be the carb at all. See my other post.
Great presesntation content thank you ..mike Scotland
Thanks for the feedback! This was a very early video for me but has always performed rather well.
What do you use for fluid in your ultrasonic cleaner?
So I have used both just plain water or add a small amount of soap. And I have used Evaporust. Both work, and don't damage anything.
You didnt show how to remove Tank!
Take off ur seat and on the gas take where the head of the seat is there is a bolt undo that bolt with a socket and boom it's off
@@TheGUYatURdoor Ya I figured it out...thank you EZy Breezy..
