As a retired mechanic, I just want to say excellent job on this informative vid for service and common issues. two thumbs up!
Peter jackson what do u think about these fourwheelers
Just a little tip regarding the kick start option which was not mentioned... There is a decompression valve on the cylinder which you can lift up on before kicking it over. It will automatically return back to proper position after bike is kicked over. You can access it from the kick lever and foot brake side on top of cylinder.
also there is a carb thumb primer pump on this carberator
My trx300 Honda four Trax blowing out of back carb should be pulling it forward
Bought my dad one with a plow on the front...everything in a 10 mile radius is now plowed. He's hard on equipment and this quad just works every freekin day without an issue for 3 years on.
Fantastic basic overview of the Fourtrax and locations of parts. Great hints and tips as well. I've owned two of these for 30 years, I wish this video had been around back in the day. Would have made my repairs/adjustments much easier. Thank you!
Where are the fuses located?
Just bought a 1992 today . First ATV ever . Looks good seems to work good . I'm excited . Good video for my first day .
I have an 86 and 2 87's. 88 is not the first year for TRX's. Best quads I have ever owned, they are extremely dependable. Very good vid, thanks.
88 is the first year for the 300
Thanks to you I was able to get my Honda back running. The good ole kill switch had been activated. I didn't even know it had one. Saved me an embarrassing trip to the repair shop.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports not a problem. While I'm on a roll, the Honda is pulling to the right all the time. The tyre pressures are correct. What else should i be looking at? Thanks in advance.
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports thanks, I'll give it a go next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes
Adjusted the tie rods as suggested and it worked a charm. Thanks for your help.
Great video, your videos are the best out there!
That 1996 300 looks great! The 300 is arguably the best all around atv ever made in terms of reliability ETC....I started with a 1st 110cc honda 1981 2nd 125m 1985 3rd 250es honda 1985 Big Red...The Big Red was designed great,the trunk was huge the racks were strong had a detachable head light with extension cord,a back up kick start,head light guard etc...I would love for honda to design a big red-esque special edition fourwheeler...
They all still run after
Also agree. We bought two from the same person a few years back off eBay (a 2x4 and a 4x4). What a GREAT little ATV.
300cc doesn't sound like much these days, but this thing is a workhorse. We pulled 1000's of square hay bales with these ATVs connected to flat trailers. Still running strong after all these years!!
Best bike I've ever had
the US military used these fourtrax
@@MarshallSmith27 when?
I had a Big Red it was a tank of a four wheeler it was a 2 wheel drive and would go better than some of the guys 4x4’s I used to ride with. It was awesome.
Very thorough. Thank-you for your video on the Honda Fourtrax 300.
Great info! Thanks for making all of these informative videos man 🙂👍
Thanks Mike for watching! Always love to hear it’s helpful!
Thanks for all the videos!
Sensational...Saved my bacon with no spark issue. Very informative. Thx...from Harry Down Under!
Awesome video. Thanks for putting it out there.
Thanks, just bought one and this was a great help.
Happy to help. Let us know if you need anything. ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
Great video to explain everything so I can understand !! Thanks
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. We have tons of other videos on our channel. ruclips.net/user/MidNebraskaMotorsports
What a great bike great video
Dude, awesome video! I think you are the only person who mentioned the CDI. I believe that is the problem with mine. It sparks the first time but doesn't continue to spark. Does that sound like it would be the CDI?
great video man i just recently bought one, and advice on the front wheel cylinders? should i rebuild or should i buy new?
GREAT video!!!
Great video, many thanks.

Heck yea, I love these machines!! if you are needing parts for your Fourtrax take a look at our ebay store. www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports Have you watched our other videos on this machine? Check out: ruclips.net/video/e7cboWDOQKY/видео.html. Thanks for watching and the comment!
My Honda has done really well for the last 9 months......now it will not start, so I'm going to buy a CDI box and cross my fingers!! Thanks for pointing that out on the video!
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports it was the CDI box....the new one works great and was easy to replace. Thanks again!
I have 2 of them. There bulletproof and reliable!
Referring to the other comment about the decompression lever. This is my first 300 working the front brakes. There are none and the master cylinder was bone dry. The Bruin that I had worked on had disk brakes which made it easier to see the pads. These drum type make you have to pull the wheels off. Getting off topic though. I wanted to ask you about the reverse light and the gear. I found the cable, but what lever controls it and which way on the gear select do you push your foot???
Hello, I am researching to tune up my grandpa's 1987 fourtrax. Will the parts you listed in the video description work for the 1987? Thank you.
Thanks for the tour very informative good information learned alot about my bike!! Thank you!!
great video I have a 99 that has a horrible clunk in and out of acceleration sounds like something in rear end any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Have a '90 300 TRX FW - got to the point it would not start - rebuilt carb - now it starts up but dies as soon as you try to rev it up... it will idle forever, but dies as soon as you thumb the gas... any ideas? Thanks!
Great video, is there any difference with the wiring of the 4wd and the 2wd
Ive got a '99 that slips out of second gear
to (a grinding sounding) neutral upon acceleration out of first to second.
Would you say bent shift forks?
Having an issue with my foot brake. It sticks on in down position. When I take pedal off I have a plastic sleeve still attached to frame. Even with grease this still sticks. Question is does the metal pedal rotate around plastic sleeve or as I suspect should the sleeve rotate around the metal mounting peg? Hope that makes some sense.
Hi. Have spark with plug out and against motor but still just Turning over and will not crank. Any ideas
Would love a video on the wiring system. Fuse location, adding accessories,( cigarette socket) If you need to wire a fuse or not doing that .
I noticed an extra wire coming out of your battery box laying forward on left rear fender. Any idea what’s that for. Reason I ask mine has it to.
Helpful. Thanks
ty for this I do have a question I just put in a new bat a good one, plus a starter solenoid but when i turn on the key no green light no start from the start botte yet if I bypass and jump the solenoid it starts right up
I have a 91 300 fourtrax that gives one spark then no more. i have an extra used cdi that i plugged in and same thing. if i turn the key off and on ill get one spark then nothing no matter how much i kick or push the electric start? any help would be great? could stator be the problem?
Do you by chance have a part number for that CDI box? I have same model same year, probably should get one ordered.
Hi I have a 1998 4x4 fourtrax 300 and I check for spark but no spark off the ignition coil someone mention it might be the stator how do you check that and can you remove stator while still on quad . Please help
I have a 91’fourtrax and having the “common no fire” problem. So, I’ve replaced the CDI and Alarm box, ignition coil, and I think I was sent the wrong rectifier but it’s new and still no fire. Any suggestions
My carburetor does not want to pull the gas but the On/off peice is fine I’ve taken apart and cleaned what do you think it could be
I have a 1993 fourtrax Itt keeps slipping gear n no power in 5th. How do i check transmission oil
Hey I have a 1992 Honda 300 fourtrax and it holds five gallons and sometimes hard to start i think its the idling can you help?
hey, i need your help. I recently got a 99 honda 300 fourtrax. and literally nothing on it works, but it runs good. I am going through it and it is a learning experience for me. I have been working on the front wheels. my question is, is there supposed to be a small gap between the axle nut and the hub? I have seen where there are collars or spacers for the back, but I cant find out anything about the front. The second day riding it, the wheel literally fell of on me., lol. I may have another question or two for you later but if you have videos about them, you can refer me to those. I really need your help on this one man. I could send you an image if need to be show what I am looking at. but on the front wheels, both of them, there is a small space or gap left between the nut and the hub after tightening down the axle nut. if that is normal, cool, but if not, I will buy what ever it is I need, once I figure out what that is.
Thank you for this video - I have a 1996 2wd honda fourtrax 300. I've rebuilt the back end (new case, new bearings, new ring and new pinion) and it has worked well for the past year. Last week, there started to be a noise near the rubber boot that covers the (I think driveshaft). It is a knocking noise that only happens when in gear and moving. I know that diagnosing the problem this way is hard, but if you do have any thoughts, please let me know! Thank you.
It's probably ur drive shaft
@@lifeintheboondocks7516 You are right, I replaced the driveshaft and it was the problem. Thank you!
Súper awesome video
Thanks for watching! Check us out on ebay: www.ebay.com/usr/midnebraskamotorsports
I’ve just replace the one way bearing on the starter clutch and now I have no spark I’ve switched over the cdi and coil with a running bike and still no spark any help would be appreciated
i have a 1993 300ex and it’s turning over but not starting. Could it be the carburetor?
I just got one of these (1998)TRX 300. The tires and wheels that are on now are Front: 25x13x9 and rear: 27x12x11. Not planning on being in the mud much so I don't need the mud tires that are now on the back. Thinking about moving the 25x13x9 front tires to the rear and getting milder tread tires 23x9x11's for the front. Any comments appreciated.
I wouldn’t recommend this. If you need more helpful tips, check out: ruclips.net/video/X0AdFxkJiOg/видео.html and if you need parts: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports. Thanks for watching and the comment.
could you please do the same vid for the yam moto 4 250
Holy fuck! Thanks a ton bruv I got my 1996 Honda trx300 back up and running you are a life saver
I miss my old 300.
I have a 88 and I have a clicking noise when turning. The diff looks good just changed the fluid, torn boot on the front cv joint. When I replace them should I also replace the connection knuckle in the wheels?
Sounds like you need a new sphincter valve, get one of those and you'll be fine.
we have a 98 fourtrax 4x4 run good but some times the electric start does not work it just clicks one time then starts first time with kick starter
Having a problem with my 97 300 4x4 replaced stator flywheel cdi rectifier new battery and still won't charge 10-13.5v at idle and 3-6v revved up I need help
What’s your favorite oil to use
My 2004 Honda 350atv starts ok but cute out when engine is warm,dies when you touch the accelerator,any suggestions?
How can I tell if I’m getting fired through the coil 4 wheeler will on start if you jump across the coil with Screwdriver
question is my 1996 fourtrax won't start until I release the start button, is that the norm for these things. Or is that issue with cdi . So far not creating a problem but odd
I just got a Honda fourtrax 4x4.
It hasn't been run for a few years.
The starter relay is kicking in, but engine cranking.
Where does the gas line from the bottom of the carb go to
just this morning i bought a 93 fourtrax 4wd $1500.00, thanks for your clips, I may have questions, >>> I subbed
Shifter clutch steaks after sitting a while any solutions
I have a 1992 Honda Fourtrax 300 it will run but when you give it full throttle it misfires white smoke
thanks good video
Awesome Jessica! Thanks for the comment and for watching. Let us know if you have an questions! Let us know if you need parts: www.ebay.com/str/midnebraskamotorsports
My oil light stays on now? It never used to? I’ve changed the fuses in back and one was blown. But the red light is still on any tips on what I should do?
It's the oil temp light and it might be corroded/bad. Mine does that too it comes on after 1 min of running even though it's not hot.
I have one that is throwing oil into the airbox is there anything else other than rings that can cause this issue any advice would be awesome thank you
is the crank case overfilled? i have seen this happen on mowers people bring for repair. they overfill to brim with oil! the 300 has a dipstick...use it
I have one of these, wouldnt start from wire issues got that fixed but for some reason everytime I switch the key on the spark plug sparks but i can here it while I'm sitting on my fourwheeler which I didnt think was normal, it wont start so anyone got adive?
This is great. I bought a 1994 FWD Honda 300 fourtrax in 1998, I've never found a good reason to replace it. It is still working great. I'm getting older and when I have full choke on in a cold morning and try to go from reverse to first gear, it's getting difficult to pull it up with the gear shifter. Do I need to adjust something here? Thanks for the video
need to let it warm up for a minute or two first
Can you tell me what the 2nd red light is next to the reverse red light and the green neutral light. Mine keeps coming on after I crank it then goes off. Thank you.
oil light
What can you do to keep the shift clutch from sticking 300 Fourtrax
"Shift Clutch" SMH..WTF??
Inherited a honda ft 300 88' put a battery in and no response when turning the key on. What would be a good starting point to trouble shoot it...?
Check the on/off switch. It's easy to miss, but important. Does the neutral light come on? If not, check your neutral (gear position) sensor near the bottom of the crankcase. If all that is good, I am wondering if you've got a bad starter relay. Let me know what you find?? Hit the subscribe button so you are notified when I get more of these posted. Thanks for watching!
Are this semi automatic? The video does not have any info on the clutch and how many gears or if it come with reverse.
Just putting my 89 fourtrax back together. Put a need battery in. Went to hook up the battery, when I connected the negative cable motor started turning over. I'm baffled as to why. Any ideas?
Sounds like the solenoid is hooked up directly of isn't functioning properly. Thanks for watching. Let me know what you find!
Have a Honda 300 seems to lag while driving any input
Excellent, comprehensive video. Had a no spark issue, tapped the cdi box with a screwdriver and started right up. Shut it off and will not run any more. Ordered Honda OEM CDI box and still no spark. Checked ohms on coil and it checks out ok. Sounds like it wants to fire off when I rock the kill switch back and forth while depressing the starter button. Any ideas on where to go from here would be appreciated. This has been the most reliable piece of equipment I have ever owned over the last 30 years but now have a no spark, no start.
Ever figure it out?
@@rickyparrish2570 not yet but the honda is next up for repairs in my shop. Just had a similar issue with my main work quad - suzuki vinson 500. Ended up that I did in fact have spark but had water in fuel. Too much cranking and not starting flooded the airbox with fuel. Ended up getting a spark tester and it was lighting up. I'm thinking this may be the same thing wrong with the honda.
I have a 1986 Fourtrax and it sometimes dies as soon as I put it in gear. Any idea what this could be? Anything helps. Thanks
Is it idling high enough? Could be CDI as well. Let me know what you find out. Thanks for the question.
I have this exact four wheeler and can’t get spark! I’ve changed out cdi box, coil and plug and still nothing. Any suggestions?
stator?
I have a 1999 fourtrax 2wd and I have a small problem where the bike cranks up fine and idles fine for however long I have it running while its sitting but if I go to shake the bike it cuts off it only does it if I shake it while its sitting doesn't do it while riding any thoughts on what that might be
That makes absolutely no sense what so frigging ever!! But I'm not the least bit surprised coming from followers of this channel!!
what kind of oil in rear end?
I cant get my machine to fire over anymore. I noticed my neutral, reverse light dont come on anymore. Could that be a CDi issue or something else?
sounds like your 4 wheeler isnt even getting power.
98 fourtrax oil light staying on, do you have a video on replacement or repair?
I can come up with a video. I would say you've either got a stuck sensor or a grounded sensor wire. I would start there. Thanks for watching. Have you seen this one: ruclips.net/video/YeYmwzh4RUw/видео.html
I have the same one I’m having trouble getting it back to first gear. How do I fix that?
Give er a hard wack
Okay I have the same four-wheeler mine's a four tracks as four wheel drive and I crank it up and put it in gear and it jumped but it won't move like it's not it's not even trying it don't put a load on it or nothing when I put it in gear what do you think's wrong
I'd say you're going to need to split the case to find which gear is broken. The rear end is a common issue so you might pull that swingarm boot and see if the output shaft is spinning. If it is, all you need is a rear end. If it is not, you'll need to dig into the transmission. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions.
Why does my 300 rear axle turn forwards and backwards in reverse. And in 1st - 4th gear it only turns backwards?
@@MidNebraskaMotorsports thanks for the reply 🙏. Everything seems fine was thinking it might’ve been the rear diff or maybe the gearbox
I have a 1986 Honda fourtrax 350 and you said that they started making them in 88 so do you not count the 350s?
That is a Honda TRX300 Fourtrax not a 350. Pay attention moron!!
There great machines the British spec ones are legendary with farmers
Heck yea! Bullet proof!
My front right drum will not rotate on my 96 300. Any advice?
Completely froze??? or just hard to spin? Either way, I’d pull it apart and clean it up. Sometimes they freeze up with rust.

My Honda big red 300 is spluttering mostly in last gear when I'm at full throttle? And sometimes nearly cuts out must on the field it is ok
You might need to reject your Big Red. Also make sure your air filter is clean and your air box and boots are complete and not leaking. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Do you know of a front breaks disc conversion for a 88 2x4
I don't but will keep my eye out for something. Let me know if you find something. Thanks for watching.
89 fourtrax 300 fan not working. Point me in the right direction? I just got it and haven't had time to troubleshoot.
I have a 1997 Honda fourtrax 300 2wd and I changed the starter and now it won't turn over but it tries to crank
my honda fourtrax 300 1995 keeps leaking gas through the filter and my battery wont stay working and im not sure how to fix it could you help would help me a lot :)
Well to start, mixing batteries and fuel is a very dangerous process. I would take care of one before fixing the other. I would say you either have a dirty air filter or your valves are out of adjustment. Your float may also be sticking. Have you cleaned your carburetor? Let us know. And don't smoke while doing this job.
I just started to try and work on one of these and it won't start or turn over. I think it might be a battery like you said. Any other common problems that result in it not starting?
LMAO notice all his suggestions require you to watch his shitty videos that won't hep you but will help him. Another thing that will help him is spell check!!
Where are the fuses located
My 95 300 2wd fourtrax is stuck In gear, is there a way to get it back to neutral?
If you haven’t got it out yet, try rocking the bike forward and backwards and then try to pop it into neutral. This happened to me and that’s how I fixed it
Just bought one 1993 Honda TRX300FW Fourtrax 300 4x4 well maintained for $1500.00 some would say I got ripped off, BUT, are there ANY parts on it that is OBSOLETE or maybe soon that would be hard to get?? I'm planning on keeping this thing running for along time so I'd have NO problem stocking up parts now for the future, does anyone have a chart of interchangeable parts across the span of years? Maybe would buy some for future parts.
if its in decent shape...you didn't get 'ripped off'. $1500 is about the least i'd expect to see for a running 300. drive it, shake the bugs out.....once you have it running well...don't "stock up on parts" as that ATV will last another 20yrs no probs
Do you screw the dipstick in all the way when checking the oil, or just check without threading it in?
Check without threading it in
In your case the dipstick sits on the seat!!
Mine does when I ride it just at random times with new carb and everything it gets gas.
When I ride it, it randomly dies has new top end and carburetor. It always starts back up I just don’t know how long it will take for it to start back up 😂
