91′ Fourtrax 300 winch mount
I currently have a 1991 Honda Fourtrax 300 4×4 and can’t find a winch mount. I believe in 1993 they changed the frame design because they have winch mounts 93-00 but no 88-92. I would like to buy a 93 and newer mount and make it work, I was wondering has anyone done this before? If so could you please post pictures, because if it is too much configuring I will just forget about it.
Thank you all in advance,
Ben
Please help: Winch rocker install
I installed a Warn Vantage 2000 winch today, but am stuck on the red wire to the rocker that is supposed to go to the ignition switch. There are zero directions out there on how to do this, so was hoping someone who did this before might be able to help.
I heard that I may not need to splice into the line and that there may be another area by the radiator I can hook it into, but I am lost as I do not know much about this stuff.
Anyone who can help or send instructions or pics on how to get this rolling, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
83 fourtrax wont run
Foreman 450 carb problem
I recently got a 2003 foreman 450. It didn’t run when I bought it so I tore down the carb, drained the fuel tank etc.. and cleaned everything really well. I got it to idle and drive. On the test drive, I noticed it was idling really high. So, I adjusted the black idle screw (the one with the spring and black nob). I went a little too far and it stalled. I backed it up to revert the change, but it wouldn’t start. Out of frustration, I turned it both ways and kept experimenting until I shot myself in the foot. Now, I have no idea where "normal" is.
Is there a "default" setting? Something like the 2 5/8 turns for the fuel mixture screw (I think that’s what it’s called)?

1998 300 Fourtrax – Stalled and will not start
I started up a steep hill and decided about halfway up that I shouldn’t be attempting this (probably a rookie move on my part). So I put it in reverse and started backing down, at which point my ATV stalled. I coasted down the last few feet and then tried to start it back up, but had no luck. I have been using the kick start, as the battery has been dead since I brought it out of storage. When trying to kick start I can smell gas, so I thought it must be flooded? I waited 15 minutes and tried again, no luck. I then waited about 30 minutes and tried again, it started up but then died instantly (with 1 to 2 seconds). I am thinking this must be something simple, but I have very little experience with this sort of thing. Hoping someone can give me a couple pointers as to where I should go from here!
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have for me!
Cheers,
