One of the best things about this channel is that he’s owned just about every kind of quad or bike. If I ever have an issue with mine, dude probably has a video working on one and even if it doesn’t have the same issue as mine he still gives a fair amount of info about the machine
I officially proclaim you "The bike/quad whisperer"
That’s the best fourwheeler ever made
I want one so bad because if I get one I’ll never get another agian
@@Casefitness.I just got one and honestly working on them is max ez to
And yet people still figure out how to destroy them...Lol! I have a 1999, & while it's definitely impressive in what it can go through & what it can pull, they definitely aren't as bulletproof as people like to say they are...if you abuse it, you will tear it up, just like anything else...
@@Road_Rash dude I have a 1998 4x4 and I’ve been chasing bog at full throttle I’ve done a whole list of things trying to fix it
Just imagine how expensive that would be on a Can Am...Lol! That's the truly great thing about these, parts are cheap & easy to replace, no electronics... well, not compared to everything else these days, we'll say minimal electronics...CPI, regulator/rectifier, that's pretty much it...
Dude you are a genius you are a better mechanic than anybody I’ve ever seen in my area. Kudos
I knew you was going to fix it I just like watching how you diagnose the machine 😂
This is going to be a crispy one. All of the revival videos are good. Have a good day!
Great job joe you are the man sorted it out in no time mate good job 🔧🔧🔧👍👌
I'm happy to see you are doing a pre-wash.
Great video man you came along way from your videos can't Waite for next own to come
“Go ahead and watch this closely while I turn on the key”
Me for the next 30 sec 😮
Best fourwheeler ever made right here ladies and gentlemen.
Another good job Joe.. actually ran into this a time or 2. Great video
Thanks for the awesome channel you have. Very fun to watch. I'm 56 years old and love the old 2 strokes. By the way , we were supposed to remind you to buy a new utility trailer. Lol.
Great job Joe ! As usual !!
This thing looks buggered Joe!But ull work it out as u always do!👌👍💪👊💪💪💪
yo thank you for the great content I'm only 14 and I'm learning alot of new things keep up the great videos
Very glad i found your channel....iam having thexsame issues with a 2007 baja wilderness 400, your video is great
"Holy cow BatMan!" Another mystery solved. Man, I wish these videos had been available to me when I was a kid!
Man i feel bad for thats the 3rd fire yet, the IT 200 kx80 and now this, hope you have much much better luck in the future cause you sure deserve an easy build now. Keep up the good work!
Love all your videos
We need more Honda foutraxs
Love the Honda foretaxx
Man I wish I still had one of those fourtax they are absolutely amazing
I have a few observations.
1. Your powers of deductive reasoning are really good!
2. I think Vinnie likes having short hair - he seems more peppy. But I think he looks better with longer hair.
3. George is not much of a conversationalist.
Thanks for the vids & sharing some of your life with us!
We had the exact same problem with ours, it would spark once then stop until you turned the key off and on. Got spark by hot wiring key and machine ran amazing. Could be a common problem on these, great video btw
It’s good to see Vinnie hair grew back nice👍🏾
Your are a wizard when it comes to atv,s
A easy fix. Thanks for sharing brother.
George looks like an old man from Harry Potter movie 🤣😆
Another awesome video Joe 👍 thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge 😉
Nice work really like your work and your dogs are a plus to see little George reminds me of a Ewok👍🏼👍🏼
Lol. Vinny runs around the corner like a boss! Funny boy.
My dad has one of these n he used the hell out of it. It's lasted forever. He always was good at figuring out what the quality purchase was.
Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina siempre veo tus vídeos tenemos un gusto parecido por las motos japonesas excelentes videos muy instructivos
Not having the best of luck with fires these days eh 😢
Agreed brother ,lol?🤔😫😫😫🤔
good work sir!
I just had this exact problem on an 01 Sportsman 400, (minus the blown bulbs and smoke), only had one shot of spark and only when I would disengage the start button so if you were lucky it would catch and actually fire and run. The CDI was weak, the battery fried and it ended up being the regulator.
Dude! TRX300FW are one of my favorite machines, lots of cdi issues tho.
just gotta say your dog is adorable :D
Finnaly a 300 fourtrax
Bro what happened to the street bike gokart that you were doing for a subscriber? I was so looking forward to seeing it ride. I feel like I've been robbed lol!!
Good job well done
Im glad that my 88 300 honda foutrax works like its 1988 never gave me a issue YET
Can’t believe a subscriber would drop off something for you to work on without at least cleaning it first.. that thing was filthy lol
You should see some of the hondas I have brought back from the dead.
Nice job.
I had a 250sx like that, Chinese cdi nuked everything but good thing I had a complete parts bike. Lucky all his did was smoke since mine burned ha. Keep up the good work fella.
I am here bc i am trying to figure out how my neighbor’s caught fire. Unfortunately he couldn’t get it out of his garage before it caught the house and other vehicles on fire. House and cars are completely gone now.
He suffered minor injuries.
I hope everyone will purchase a fire extinguisher and keep it near their atv and be prepared to use it while working on it(he was working on it when it happened).
Yep man I have three of em in the yard that do the same thing, I was thinking CDI, had the same issue in the past and a cdi fixed it, but there is somting about the early CDI incompatibility
2vintage, I have a 99 Honda 300 fourtrax 2wd. It cut off and I put a new cdi box on it. It fired up just a second and shut back down. Now it has no spark again. Any ideas? Thanks
You can test the rectifier I believe. Just did it on my 89 KLF300C. Need 2 12v batteries 5 alligator clips and test light. I'm still watching vid. 👍
How did you do the test?
so you not only do revivals/restores but also repairs for other people?
Would love to have that 4wheeler
Whats the race of Vinnie and is it always that quiet? Does not even bark when revving a motorcycle near it.
It's great when the comments are full of people who haven't even gotten past the first ad before commenting on the title
You had pretty good luck with Mighty Max batteries?
I have the same machine and can't find the place the red and green wire from the rectifier plugs in? Do you have a diagram?
Thursday is lawn day 🎉
@2vintage when's the next cr125 video
Can you try to find a old Honda Grom and fix that up that would be cool
Your puppy looks like an Ewok from Star Wars
these 300s pop cdis all the time had a couple that would only spark when u let off the start button but it u held the button no spark, they do it randomly
I would highly recommend you get a snow foam gun for your pressure washer, couldn’t live without mine
He could have at least hosed the mud off before bringing it to you.
That’s a 3rd generation 300 fourtrax you can only use a cdi for 98-2000 recitifer is a common problem for these quads and the rear differentials need the gear oil changed often to get the best life from the bearings. But the engine and transmission is absolutely bulletproof on the older Honda fourtraxs by far the best atvs ever built.
I got a china key switch and handle bar switch worked good for month or so
Then getting wet in rain a rusty and ground out. Put as good switch in working good
It’s probably a Chinese cdi I had one on my 2004 kx250f and it set on fire
23:08 is that Valderrama?? 😂
Was that a police car watching you...when you tested the quad on your lawn first time...?
rectifier changes ac to dc, so it must have an ac system for charging?
Having very similar issue with mine it would only run sometimes and it burnt out all my lights at my starter and it was way over charging the system I found out I have yet to fix it but I believe it is a rectifier/regulator.
Could be!
Hey joe, wondering if you might be interested in trading one of your reliable 4 wheelers for a excellant 2003 skidoo mxz600 sport?
At 13 38 I'm thinking pulse gen but you said it checked out.
When exactly does the 'fire' occur?
Best atv ever made
Joe slow down and take a breath remember whenever you're changing the battery out make sure you clean the connections, especially the ground. But you need to slow down and take a breath my friend you will have a whole lot better outcome.
Honda 300 best atv ever built period !
Man your having bad luck I've rebuilt over 30 small machines atv dirtbikes go carts whatever same as you these past 2 years and some how I haven't had anything like that happen
Luck has nothing to do with it you just haven't seen it yet because you have done 30 machines. This guy has done double 👏
My only concern with you fixing other people's ATVs is that it reduces the number of broken ATVs for you to buy, fix up and sell or trade at a profit. Don't underestimate the value of your abilities :)
My atc 200 has issues with the cdi timing advance. I am going to take it out and put a set of points and condenser instead. I can make it work
Your paying alot for bikes lately I get it u gott get the content out but some of them are junk lol great mechanical knowledge tho buddy 👍 regards from Britain
1:23 vinnie appeared outta thin air
27:49 see if reverse works..... 24:23 I guess the video was playing backwards?
Up next is the utv side by side with a bed
Hello, there is a problem on my 2008 Honda trx250tm ES fourtrax. the indicator on the display shows a different position compared to the position on the gearbox. for example on the screen it says that the gearbox is in first gear, but the gearbox is actually in neutral and the green light for neutral does not light up. when I press the small handle and the button down to put it in reverse, the green light for neutral comes on and the gearbox is in reverse gear. I note that I can't get the letter R on the screen at all. I changed the angle sensor but everything is the same. Does anyone have a solution?
i`ve always wanted to gut one good 4x4 from its frame and make a wooden motorized picnic table with the 4x4 wheels/engine and tranny
Whoop!!
i hope you charge the guy for the wash too
What’s up 😊
My dad's melted a cdi like that the same way, he replaced the stator and that fixed the melting cdi, but it won't run unless it's battery has power, if you disconnect the battery it shuts off, any ideas why?
The rectifier is bad
I have three of these one runs but I spent 600 dollars on trying to get running now it doesn't get fire
I can't getmy 97 Honda FourTrax 300fw to spark at all I've replaced all electrical components and still no spark any suggestions ???? 22:58
Did you figure it out? I’ve got the foreman 400 and it’ll run fine for a few minutes then just bog and die and won’t start until it sits a few minutes. I replaced the regulator/rectifier and the cdi with oem parts and it still happens.
rectifiers will smoke when they go bad also
Woods for sale Joe, why not buy them.
voltage reg the ing runs through it also
I know you can't beat them 300 especially in4x4 but 2wd ok to.
We’re was the fire on the chi didn’t see any fire
Holy shit Joe actually washed a bike 1st before working on it..thats why that bitch caught on fire lol
👋
Bought a new 99, got 3000+ hours. Brakes and 20 or so oil changes is all that’s been done! Honda oil!
The key switch is why I had no spark
Hey subscribers - wash your dang equipment every now and again!
I bought a cdi and coil with silinoid , so far the coil and coil aren't any good .
Why would anyone take their machine somewhere ti get worked on in this condition? I mean at least clean it up and fix the obvious things first.
