Hi D-Ray, being a mechanic myself I watched most of your videos about the Honda TRX300 and I have to admit that they are the best that I have watched. They are well detailed, excellent explanations, excellent quality of videos ultimately Very Professional. Congratulations on your good work!
“A light snuggin”. I love it! Thank you for your videos! I’m working on my sister’s Honda & this has helped me a lot! Great direction & explanations! I really like that you explain the “why” for certain things. I’m one of those ppl that helps me figure out things when I know why. 😁
Awesome vid. Thanks my Honda TRX 400 has been sitting for 5 years as well just got the carb out and thinking this video series is going to help big time! Was scared of "What's next!" after struggling to get it out. That fear has been eased by the soothing sounds of your video!!! Excellent camera work and great sound as well! Thank you Sir!
Hello D-Ray, I very much enjoy your instructional videos. They are well put together and professional and you make it easy to understand. The quality is second to no one. Keep up the good work.
This fantastic detailed video helped me with my 1993 Fourtrax 300cc 4x4 carb removal, rebuild and re-install, Thank you for providing this detailed video and the other two that go hand in hand.....greatly appreciated.
ur 'low speed mixture screw' was 2 complete turns from the bottom.. but i love how you present you instruction, clear, concise and complete. well done, subbed!
Thank you!! I know of three Honda four wheelers that are running well as a direct result of your videos. They belong to friends and family. I'm not sure what the local repair shops would have charged, but I'm guessing the $$ savings is up around $400.00 in labor alone. Again Thanks!!
Rebuilt the carburetor and now when I give it throttle it dies basically wont drive when you give it gas,DO YOU HAVE A IDEA HOW TO FIX IT? BY THE WAY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE HELP
Holly shit!! Thank you sir!!!!!! Damn shim washer... It was a left over part so i thought it went on the main jet.....duh!!.. ran like hell and gas spraying everywhere!! Now i see its goes on the needle!!! Many thanks good Sir!
Where did you order that carb kit ?i have the same foirtrax.and its great i scored it from a friend of mine who didnt wwant to deal with it anymore .so i bought it from him for 300bucls and it was like brand new .great machine.apreciate you content .keep em coming.
I have followed your instructions and still have a problem, most likely operator error. 98 honda fourtrax had been sitting a long time. Gas tank was shot so got a new plastic one. Even the plastic ones are pricey. At first it would not idle, pulled the carb & soaked cleaned it.Now it idles but will not take a fast uptake on the throttle. Fast forward, re cleaned and installed a carb kit. I have tried adjusting the low speed jet and it seems to have little effect. It will stop the engine when screwed all the way in. No matter where it's adjusted the engine stutters and wants to die. If I give it throttle very easy it will speed up. I now have the carb all the way apart and soaking in carb cleaner again, don't know what else to do. Getting awful tired of putting it in and out. About to pull my hair out. I sure hope you have some thoughts on what to do. I have watched many videos trying to figure it out, about to give up. Thanks
Okay at 3:17-3:19 a small spring at the top disappears... Ahhh...I have followed the three wonderful videos and now I have that same small spring left. So...where is it's home?
Great video. There is a passage to the left of the float through the carb body that ends in a brass tube. It is blocked and I can't get to it to clean it. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Have you ever noticed where your float valve seats and there is also an additional looks like a rubber oring down inside were the float valve seats and this ethanol is swelling it up and not letting bowl fill with fuel is there a way to get that o-ring out with out damaging carb there must be cause someone somewhere put it in there this happens a lot on small engines like my log splitter and I have to get new carb every year
DRay. I was cleaning my carb on 2004 Foreman S. When I blew it out there was a part that flew out where the mixture screw goes. It looks to be where the tip of screw goes it. Any idea how to get that part back in the carb. I cannot get the mixture screw back in the carb. Thanks for any advice you have. The part is in the rebuild kit as well.
Question, my 97 fourtrax 300fw is running fine when you start it up but when you give it gas it sputters and backfires. What exactly would cause this? I’ve cleaned the carburetor and it’s still doing it. Is it the slide needle that I need to adjust? Please let me know.
In this video there is a small spring up near the big spring, I have that same spring but don't know where it came from. Your spring disappeared when you stopped to open your rebuild kit and never show it again. Help please?
D-Ray Smith Would a 2002 Honda rancher 350es be the same to clean the carb or is there a big difference? Also it leaks gas from this little hose near the bottom of the atv almost looks like a breathing hose?. Any idea on why it dose that plz help .
I'm having trouble with my idle speed screw on my 1986 honda fourtrax 250. After riding for 10 mins it revs up. It's like it's vibrating out .I have to turn the screw by hand back in a little to get it to idle back down. Any suggestions?
Now i had my bike lifted from the back quite high to weld the frame rails and paint the bottom. I drained the carb of all gas and shut the fuel off completely so no gas would leak out. It was lifted for about a week i finished the bottom and put it down i turned the gas on and gas ran right through the carb i took carb off made sure float was okay and working fine it is from what i can tell seems to work perfect then when i have the carb bowl back on and i fill with gas runs right through again. Needle is perfectly clean floats have no gas in them the floats move up and down perfect. Also this carb is brand new oem honda carb put on 2-3 years ago the inside looks brand new the floats are still even white. Anyone have suggestions?!
come on d-ray why did you not take some emery cloth and polish that carb body and at least clean off the screw heads ?? your slackin man..WTF... lmao....good job,good vid
Wrong, a torch tip cleaner set has serrated wires for cleaning slag, steel, and other debris from a torch. The Honda jet cleaners are smooth, so they will not ream or change the jet size...But do feel free to run one of those thru your carb's jets, and once you're done with that, throw them away and get new ones cause you just reamed them out and they are no longer the correct jet size...

It’s been a short lifetime ago that you’ve made these videos, and I’m still so grateful today! I’ve come back to these several times.
Definitely one of the better carburetor rebuild I’ve seen
My 300 hadn't ran for 8yrs! Cleaned up the carb, changed filters, new battery and she fired right up. Honda built these things like tanks!

The Honda 3 Wheeler Whisperer nails it again.

Just found your channel. Great video and very informative with awesome camera work. Nicely done
Okay at 3:17-3:19 a small spring at the top disappears... Ahhh...I have followed the three wonderful videos and now I have that same small spring left. So...where is it's home?

That carb is very similar if not identical to my 02 Honda Rubicon. Great series! You saved me bigtime! Thanks
Great job, D-Ray!
Awesome Video, Thanks
Very good video ! Well done !
Hi D- Ray what do you thing is the best Carburator kit , for Honda TRX 250 1985 TO 1987, thank you for you response
Really good video but you did not show how to take the seat out or cannot not be replaced
DRay. I was cleaning my carb on 2004 Foreman S. When I blew it out there was a part that flew out where the mixture screw goes. It looks to be where the tip of screw goes it. Any idea how to get that part back in the carb. I cannot get the mixture screw back in the carb. Thanks for any advice you have. The part is in the rebuild kit as well.

Why didn't you change the float valve seat o ring?
Why would you need to change the location of the E clip on the metering needle? What are the results of moving it either direction?
This video is perfect!
Great videos boss. Just what I needed. Much Thx!
Sniffff.......Huh?? What?? Man! What a rush!! lol! Thanks man!
This is not the same as a 2005 trx 300ex.
Are the pilot turns the same as a 2005?
What happens if you don’t put the main jet baffle back on?
great video....well explained..thank's much
In this video there is a small spring up near the big spring, I have that same spring but don't know where it came from. Your spring disappeared when you stopped to open your rebuild kit and never show it again. Help please?
would the brake down and rebuild for a TRX450EF4 work more or less the same way?
D-Ray Smith Would a 2002 Honda rancher 350es be the same to clean the carb or is there a big difference? Also it leaks gas from this little hose near the bottom of the atv almost looks like a breathing hose?. Any idea on why it dose that plz help .
I wanted to preserve th' patina so all th' parts on this rig would match.......lol! Thanks!
Just curios. What was the other long adjustment screw by where the throttle cable hooks up. Is there any reason not to mess with it?
You are a good man thanks
I have a small problem here... The emulsion tube in my carb is in bad shape, it did not come in the carb kit. Where can i find this part?
looked like it to me, Great vid.
Sorry bout that, lol That spring goes in the float bowl just before you install the little primer pump.
this is a great and helpful video thanks
Good job
What happens if you lose the washer for the fuel mixture screw? Lol
You had better remember, there might be a test at th' end.......lol!
My 92 will not idle and I did everything you did what could the problem be
You're awesome
I'm having trouble with my idle speed screw on my 1986 honda fourtrax 250. After riding for 10 mins it revs up. It's like it's vibrating out .I have to turn the screw by hand back in a little to get it to idle back down. Any suggestions?
jonathan kohl did you ever figure out the issue I'm having the same problem
Thanks man!
What’s the “e-clip” do if you change the position from the original starting point?
Dropping clip lower = richer
Raising = leaner
Why doesn't mine have a main jet nozzle mine is a honda foreman 500 es 08. Help!!!
My new word is snuggin.
Thanks!
D-Ray Smith
its not about looks its about functionality…..
I have a 300 Honda and just put a new carb and choke cable and it still has a miss what could be wrong with it
+Jeremy Johnson Is it tuned correctly? like air/fuel ratio and idle throttle positioner.
If you hold in the throttle it will run but let go it dies
Now i had my bike lifted from the back quite high to weld the frame rails and paint the bottom. I drained the carb of all gas and shut the fuel off completely so no gas would leak out. It was lifted for about a week i finished the bottom and put it down i turned the gas on and gas ran right through the carb i took carb off made sure float was okay and working fine it is from what i can tell seems to work perfect then when i have the carb bowl back on and i fill with gas runs right through again.

Also this carb is brand new oem honda carb put on 2-3 years ago the inside looks brand new the floats are still even white. Anyone have suggestions?!
Hey I can't get my main jet to screw back in
+Ray Petit Put a 7mm socket on an impact wrench and hit it.
Fine job Buddy!! Ya don't wanna sniff too much Carb Cleaner, It'll make ya dopey eh!!☺
come on d-ray why did you not take some emery cloth and polish that carb body and at least clean off the screw heads ?? your slackin man..WTF... lmao....good job,good vid
still leaking out of bottom of carb
Oops, "its". Darn spell check.
That "Honda" jet cleaning kit is nothing more than a renamed cheap tip cleaner set for oxy/acetylene torch nozzles.
Wrong, a torch tip cleaner set has serrated wires for cleaning slag, steel, and other debris from a torch. The Honda jet cleaners are smooth, so they will not ream or change the jet size...But do feel free to run one of those thru your carb's jets, and once you're done with that, throw them away and get new ones cause you just reamed them out and they are no longer the correct jet size...
@@DRaysShop Ya gotta admit they must come off nearly the same assembly line, except don't put the ridges in the wires.
Don’t love the heat. Nope
What does the black knob do? Mine is seized
