Working on an 07 Honda Reckon TRX250TM. Did a carb clean on it but I cant get it to hold an idle and Sometimes gas runs out the bowl drain hose. If I start it up it stops but if it sits it starts running out sometimes. The idle screw is the flathead screw on exhaust or "passenger" side of the carb right? Also I left off the little plastic round jet holder because was giving trouble getting bowl back on would this cause this problem? If the flathead screw isnt the idle whats the specs on it? how many turns out? PLEASE PLEASE any help! Iam FUSTRATED!

I have a 2003 Honda Foreman 450ES and when you are going down a hill and slowing down by downshifting or decelerating there is a loud backfire that sounds like a shot gun going off. The quad has been buried in a lake before could this be caused by a plugged exhaust? The carb has been cleaned and gaskets replaced with a stock jet set up. A new OEM exhaust is fairly pricy and a new aftermarket exhaust is about $400 so I don’t want to replace it if i don’t have to.

So I rolled my 2012 TRX400X, that I’ve had for 2 days, down a hillclimb yesterday. I’m thankful I had my buddy’s with my to get it off me . She rolled 2 complete times down the hill after my friend pulled it off me. I rode all the way home after the incident fine, the handlebars on the side of the clutch got bent a little too.i Let it cool down a little before i washed it off. After, I went to start it and let the clutch out in neutral and it stalled right out like I was in gear or something. I’m clearly in neutral. It’s still shifts through all the gear off and running I just need to keep the clutch held in. When I put it in first and try going it doesn’t grab. I would say it’s my clutch. But I feel as if it’s something else because it won’t stay running in neutral with the clutch out. I shouldn’t have to keep the clutch held in while in neutral… This quad is practically brand new the clutch was crisp before. If anyone has any ideas on what I did to it and what could be wrong. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I just put my daughter’s TRX 125 back together after replacing the chain and sprockets. It is now stuck in gear and I can’t get it into neutral.
It is a fairly time consuming job as I have to remove the sub-transmission and spacer to get at the front sprocket.
Any ideas what may be wrong?

can i use synthic oil in my rear diff 07 rancher 420 fm sra i have acess to lots of synthtic

I need to make sure I’m on the right track here. I think I am, but thinking seems to be getting me in trouble lately, so…

I have a 2004 Honda TRX400EX that’s been stored for a couple years. I can’t get it started. The first thing I did was clean the carb, but that didn’t help. I noticed that I wasn’t getting any spark and verified that by pulling the plug out, grounding it and cranking the motor over. I found a repair manual online and started going through the ignition troubleshooting guide. I do not have a peak voltage adapter, but my Fluke multi-meter has a setting for max voltage. I don’t know if that would be accurate enough, but it’s what I have so I went with it.

The ignition primary peak voltage gave me nothing. When I tested the exciter coil peak voltage at the ICM, my meter quickly maxed out at OL, but the live readings were in the .002-.007 range. When I tested it at the exciter coil connector near the alternator, I got nothing again. The next step was to check the ignition pulse generator at the ICM, which I just realized I somehow forgot to do. I did check it near the alternator though and once again, got nothing.

If my tests are anywhere in the neighborhood of accurate, the manual tells me that my ignition pulse generator is bad. It also mentions something about replacing the stator, but not directly. Any opinions on which I should look at swapping out first?

Have a customer of my dad who came to me asking if I could do a frame swap on his 2003 foreman 450es because his is nearly rotted in half. Anyone have an idea on what a shop would charge for labor? I’m capable of doing it and have another frame on the way just don’t know what to charge.
