I just bought the same machine. Ran fine for a couple weeks, but now having no spark. About to diagnose cdi as coil is fine. Downloaded repair manual, which was 300 pages, should’ve printed back and front.
That's a lot of printing. I bought a thumb drive and downloaded all my manuals to that. I think I have 5 manuals to vehicles on it but I haven't bought the atv manual yet. Need to get that. Thanks for the comment.
There are several Honda ATV message forums, they have a section where you can find the mechanics manual for just about every machine they have made for the last 40 years. It walks you through a step by step process of troubleshooting and diagnosing just about every issue there is so you don’t have to spend a ton of money parts swapping until you find the issue. They are the same manuals dealership mechanics use.
A google search came up with this A bad CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) box in a motorcycle can lead to various symptoms, primarily affecting the engine's performance. Here are some common signs of a failing CDI box: Starting Issues: - Difficulty starting the engine or complete failure to start. - Engine may turn over but not fire. Irregular Engine Behavior: - Misfiring or backfiring during operation. - Engine stalling unexpectedly. Poor Acceleration: - Loss of power or sluggish acceleration. - Inconsistent throttle response. Electrical Problems: - Flickering lights or electrical components not functioning properly. - Intermittent issues with the ignition system. Overheating: - The engine may overheat due to improper ignition timing. Check Engine Light: - Activation of the check engine light or other warning indicators on the dashboard. Hopefully this answers your question.
I do have the 350D version. I have been trying to see but it hasn't came on at all. So I need to find the wires and put a switch on it or figure out why it never works.
I just got one put new coil and battery in it but get no spark plug is new and I tested the ohms from cdi box connectors and everything checks out and I followed the manual guidelines and now I'm stumped I want to junk it it's so aggravating but I need help please the grounds are all good and clean so help me please
It should just slide right on out. Sorry about the late response and hopefully you got it out. Mine I just pulled up and it came out. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the info, I'll give some a look.
That’s not the cdi it’s a fuel cut relay, the cdi goes under the front plastic
Thanks for the correction.
Fuel pump relay, not cdi box
Correct thanks for pointing that out.
The 350d
Yes
Only 86 trx350 had orange lens lights 87 up were clear lens
I'm just going off the name/model plate. Thanks for the comment.
@@investinurself3445I have a completely original 1990 350... orange lenses. Previously had a 1989... orange lenses.
Hey does cdi cause machine to loose power and shut down? I have same exact machine?

Might be a ridiculous question, but where is the fuel cap on these?
It's under the seat. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment
Do you have the trx 350D version? I wondered if you notice when your cooling fan comes on and for how long.

Just asking but is the kill switch on? If so switch it and see if that works.
Change the stator and pulse generator
The switch is good I wired it bypassing it
@@capone818figueroa4 I checked the stator and pulse generator with the volt meter and the ohms are good
I also can kick start it with my hand
Hey man! How did I get that battery off?? It won’t seem to come even after those two screws

Fuel pump cutoff
Yes you are correct. Thanks
