TRX 300 4×4 CDI Question

Hi All,

I am a new member here. I recently picked up a Fourtrax 300, the PO was unsure of the year. I could not find any numbers on the bike; they are faded. Whomever had this before me had used it well. It was having trouble running above idle, so I cleaned out the carburetor. That seemed to help it for a bit, but then it had a super weak spark, so I figured out the CDI is bad. I am not sure which one to order; is there any difference in these? The ones on ebay have them listed for very specific years, and since I’m not sure which year my bike is, I’m not sure which one to order.

The numbers on the CDI are:

Philips Technologies
HM5 3294

Thanks for any help.

Oh no I faded the plastic on a new outlander😢

Today I washed up a brand new outlander l and figured I’d put some turtle wax ICE synthetic polish on it for a nice shine like I do my 2010 XTP. I soon found out that wasn’t a good idea when the plastic faded. I’ve been reading people spray tire shine on the entire quad except the seat question is do I spray and leave until it eventually drys or wait then wipe? Been using an old quad as a test before I mess up this new one anymore than I already have tried spraying and waiting 20 or so min get some decent result but can I get better if I wait? Any input would be great thanks

Just rebuilt carb honda trx250 adjustments?

Hi i just got done rebuilding the carb on my 06 recon and i dont think i got the air/polite screw excalty as it was before is these going to cause alot of problems down the line? the dang thing has a D shape head and i had to use needle nose to screw all way down which was about 4 rotations so when i put it back i screwed it down best i could and and we back 4 with it which i think its on or close to what it was. When i started the atv up it would run but had to keep gas pushed in so i adjusted the Rev screw and it seemed to fix it but i cant tell if there set right or not. any good pointers on how to set them ?

2006 Roush Mustang

I purchased this car in March 2012 with low 20k miles. Added a lot of eye candy, hood strut kit. Strut tower brace & tower cap kit, with all the Roush fluid caps. Roush CAI with baffle removed running the Diablo Predator Sports tuner, using the Airaid 91 octane tune, but always running 93 octane fuel.

November 2015 upgraded to Stage 2 suspension, with the wheel hop reduction kit. And had a 5 window 20% tint job.

I received my most appreciated upgrade on April 30th 2016 Mark Martin Autographed the Radiator Cover & Tool Box!

1994 trailboss 250 junction box help

I am new to the Polaris world. Just got a trailboss 250 2 wheel drive barn find. While power washing a few wires came loose from the junction box/fuse box that is by the riders left knee. I purchased a clymer repair manual but the wiring diagram wire colors do not match up to the wires on my quad . Can someone share a picture of their box so I can put the wires back in the correct spot?

Finally pulled the trigger

2016 Grizzly 700 EPS SE

Got it home late last night, so only put a few miles on it so far.

I was torn between the Grizz and the Honda Rubicon Deluxe. But I got what I thought was a great deal on the Grizz, just under $9000 out the door including the winch and installation.

Man does this thing run hot! I would be afraid to put anything in the storage compartment where the gas tank used to be for fear of melting it. Please tell me this will get better as it gets broken in.

I am in the 20 hours/200 mile breakin period so I won’t get to fully enjoy it for a while.

I did have a question though. It came with a free Warn Vantage 2000 winch. When I looked at Warn’s website it said this winch is for "smaller" ATV’s. Do you guys this will have enough pulling power to get me out if I ever need it?

Now for the accessories….

Wiring Harness for LED Light Bar

Does anybody know of a good wiring harness for a light bar? I have a light picked out that I want to use but I seem to be struggling to find a wiring harness that I like. Most either have the ugly push button switch or the huge rocker switches.

What I don’t want:

I would like to find one with an OTTO type switch so that I can use one of the punch outs in the headlight pod.
