91′ Fourtrax 300 winch mount

Hello, I am Ben and I am new here so forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong spot.

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

Hey everyone. I just bought my first ATV and chose a 2015 Honda Rancher 420.

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

I don’t know what’s wrong but I am going riding next weekend and I need it fixed. Shoot me a text or email at 2067352282 blakelycolby@gmail.com thanks!

Foreman 450 carb problem

Hey everyone,

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

Hey Everyone, really hoping I can get some advice on how to get my 1998 300 Fourtrax back up and running! Here is the situation..

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,
Maritimer

Carb problems

How’s it going Honda forums. I’m new to this site. I’ll start with the type of bike. I have a 99 Honda fourtrax 300 4×4. I bought the bike and it had been sitting but cranked up first start fastest than some newer bikes I’ve seen. Later found out that the gas tank was completely rusted out. So I bought a new tank and decided to clean my carb, while I was at it I went ahead and bought a jet kit to get a little better throttle response. After installing and cleaning all of my jets I but the carb back on. Let gas into the carb and tried to start it but the bike wouldn’t even start up. I noticed under my carb where you bolt on the primer bulb that it was leaking a little bit of fuel and also blowing a little bit of air I could feel on my finger. I took it off and saw the seal on the inside was torn. I ordered a whole new primer section. I wanted to make that it is the primer section or what else it could possibly be? Any ideas?
