uh huhhhhhhhh...lol.

if anything like me ?..less hair too !!..lol.

first sign of old age, missing post, second sign of old age..not listening to other folks that did see the post !..lol.

wellllllllllll..if goober asked for a pic..what makes you think he changed his mind ??..lol. noob !!!!.lol.

post the pic ya noob !..lol.

now this ^^^ looks just like what he has, I wonder if he got a '' fake '' ?, I dont trust any ricks c.d.i's , I use nothing but oem from honda.

and for the record ?, the ones I linked from ebay ?, those DO not have wires coming from the flay part of the c.d.i. like the one you posted ^^ , they only have wires coming from the very top !.

you need to re-read what I posted ^^^, in case you missed it ?, the link I posted are all china knock-offs !!!, how does dr shadetree know this ??..BECAUSE YOUR NOT GOING TO BUY AN OEM C.D.I. FOR 20 FREAKING BUCKS !!!!. buy the c.d.i. from partzilla or rocky mountain atv, put all the old parts back in that you removed, and plz post a better full pic of your atv, I want to see if you have 2wd or 4wd ? and yes, some of the late model trx300fw's DO have the gray connector on them ?..BUT THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE BODY OF THE C.D.I. NOT WITH A PIG TAIL !. i'm done with this, I wont argue over this for sure , good luck !.

I just did a search on ebay for a 1999 trx300fw, and here is the results --->https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=1999+trx300fw+c.d.i.&_sacat=0 , EVERY DANG ONE OF THESE IS A CHINA AFTER MARKET C.D.I. !!. nuff said.

dont waste your time and money on any winch from harbor freight !..lol.

Ok, lets back up a bit here, and start from scratch..shall we ?. first, buy an oem c,d,i, from partzilla or rocky mountain atv. make sure you have a fully charged battery installed, put the old stator, pick up coil back in. chances are, all these were good, and your whole problem was the c.d.i. instead of buying the CORRECT c.d.i.? , '' some one '' bought ( what I think anyway ) a china knock-off c.d.i., because they were too dang cheap to spend the cash on the CORRECT c.d.i. !!!!. once all this is done ?, i'd almost bet 100 bucks ( assuming all old parts are good ?! ) you will get it running again !!!. I freaking hate it when atv owners wont spend the dang money on correct parts !, WHY DO THIS ????????????, all your doing is wasting time and money !!!!!!!!!. oh, and the c.d.i. mounting rubber boot is on the frame upside down. and I still would like to see a full pic of the front diff , so I can see if you have a 2wd or 4wd model ?, I can't tell from your pics you posted ^^^ ?. and where the heck is the vin number plate ???????????, I don't see it either in your pic ^^^^.

I have never seen a c.d.i look like his bro ?, it sure looks like china too me ?.

and do you have a fully charged, good battery installed ?.

can you post a pic of the front diff and axles, I want to see some what model you have ?, I want to see if you have a 2wd ?.

if you look very closely, see the two white connectors going to the c.d.i. on this '88 trx350D foreman on front top rail ?, this is what most c.d.i.'s look like, but !!!!!!!!!, some newer trx300fw's have a odd gray connector on them, but its made into the c.d.i., not wires coming all out of it like the one you posted ^^^^.

and it's deff a china knock-off !!!!!!!!!!.

that is nothing like a c.d.i. for a trx300fw I have ever seen ???????.

got the winch fixed, made some tweaks on old winch plate, measured, cut, and here is some mock up pics so far.

post some pics of this c.d.i. plz.

thats why I said c.d.i. , price he said did not match the oem..lol. prob a china knock off ?, orrrrrrrrrrrr..it wasnt' even 100 bucks, was told this from his son in law !..lol.

yw, please take the chance, buy the oem c.d.i. from that link, 1999 trx300fw A !!, and then come back to us with your results :-).

I bet he did not get the correct c.d.i. !!!.

you could always search for a used stator, for the CORRECT year/make/model from ebay for less than a new oem c.d.i. . still, my money says the c.d.i. is not the correct c.d.i.

my money is on the c.d.i. but !!!!!!!!!!!!, if you did not get the correct stator ?, as in a matching stator to the flywheel ?, then this will cause issues as well !. are you keeping this or flipping it ?. if your keeping it ?, then spend the 150 bucks, will be worth it. don't cheap out on china after market parts !!!!.

then your son in law got taken !!..lol. oem from honda is 150 from what I just looked at from partzilla, AND PARTZILLA IS THE CHEAPEST AROUND COMPARED TO DEALER PRICES !!..LOL.
