from what i have been reading and watching..the whole EV has gone right out the window with a few car/truck manufactures.

you can buy them from homedepot, i bought some last yr to line my driveway at my cabin.

i sure hope you checked, and double checked to make sure everything was correct before you buttoned it all back up ?..its gonna suck if you have to tear it all back down again !..lol

ok. most times this is a fuel issue ?, or a c.d.i issue ?.

even if the timing was off ?, you should still get spark at the spark plug.

gonna lay out some posb issues: as jeep said ^^..gear postition switch not installed correctly on rear engine case ?. shift forks not installed correctly on shift drum ?. tranny gear/gears installed backwards ?. angle sensor installed wrong ?. change clutch installed wrong ?. any one of these will cause your issues. if you broke the engine all the way down ?, then i hate to say this, but chances are, you put your tranny together the wrong way, and the only way to inspect this..sad..but yes..you must rip that engine all back apart, and go through it..and see with your own eyes what is wrong ?. i know this is not what you wanted to read ?..but..truth is..its the only true way you will locate these problems. all it takes is one gear installed backwards ?, a shift fork not right on the shift drum ?, gear position switch not installed right ?..and you can have any or all of these issues you are having.

as far as i know ?, 5.56 is not illegal here in arkansas to hunt deer ?, but i will ask the boss that is building me a ar-15, 5.56 or may go with a 300 black out ?, pretty sure i'll go with the ar-15, 5.56 style ?, will know when i shoot them at deer camp next sat !. p.s. i use my trusty 30-30 for killing my vittles..lol.

gonna have my bud al build me a ar-15, 5.56 ammo style. but he wants me to shoot a 300 black out ar-15 as well, he's bringing 3 ar-15's to deer camp next sat, wants me to shoot all 3, and pick out the one i like the most ?, then he will build it for me, most likely i'll use the dreaded 30 rd mags..lol.

done !. got a few pics of brushing blind in, called it done.

hopefully last upate on this blind ?. got new tires, new axle, new leaf springs, all this installed. got a few things from lowes today, picked up a mobile home ground anchor, 50ft of 1/4 cable, a turn buckle. gonna tie the bottom center of blind to the ground anchor with the turn buckle, i am not taking any chances of a strong wind blowing it over ?!. it does have 4 t-post drove in at an angle, but i do not trust this 100%, soo..i will tie it down with this 1/4 cable and ground anchor. gonna load my 450 on the trailer, along with my 10ft ex ladder, head out early in the morning, get down to deer camp, fix my blind. got to get more screws in the floor to base, carpet back down, chair back together, window seal fixed where the strap broke the edge off when going to the spot ( road was really bad )..get back home, unload 450, ladder, take trailer to cabin, get my cabin ready for this freeze we are getting in the next couple days. going to be a long day tuesday for me for sure !.

BEFORE you go spraying carb cleaner ( like gumout )..MAKE SURE YOU GET THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE SCREW OUT, TINY WASHER ( DO NOT LOSE THIS WASHER ! )..AND THERE IS A TINY O-RING, DO NOT SPRAY CARB CLEANER INTO CARB UNTIL THESE PARTS ARE REMOVED !. otherwise you will ruin this tiny o-ring. so..count the turns in, its a slotted jet, watch one end of this slot, count how many turns it takes to seat ( lightly !! ), then remove it. you should have the jet, spring, tiny washer, tiny o-ring when its all removed. most times the tiny o-ring and washer stay down in the carb jet hole, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL OF THESE PARTS BEFORE SPRAYING CARB CLEANER DOWN IN THIS AREA !.

compression sounds good to me. keep in mind, these models have a ele fuel pump, if the pump is weak ?, it also wont run good. my money is on the china c.d.i. you got. chances are, the seller you got it from '' claims '' this c.d.i. will work on all trx350's ?..no..they will not !.

tells me..you got a china c.d.i. they are junk. you are better off locating a used oem for that year/make/model.

i know these models very well. i've never paid any attention the letter A after the models. i do know for a fact, 1986 was the first year produced this model in the 4x4 version, also..this was honda's very first 4wd model they ever made. 1986 trx350 was dubed the trx350 fourtrax, then in 1987 they came out with the trx350 fourtrax, then in 1988 they had the trx350 fourtrax and trx350D foreman. these ran all the way up until 1989 in u.s.a. then after 1989, canada started selling them as 1990-1993 , which if you were to go to a dealer in canada ( not sure if they still have them at all there ? ), told them you needed a part for a 1990-1993 trx350 fourtrax-foreman ?, they would not find any part for these years, as honda did not produce any model after 1989 in u.s.a, sooo..you had to tell them your 1993 ( does not exsist ) ( really 1989 ) need a such and such part ?, then they could find it..but !!..by now..this part is discontinued..lol.

is this '' new '' c.d.i. aftermarket ( china ) ?, or oem ?, china c.d.i.'s are junk. is carb clean ?..has it been sitting for awhile ?. is fuel reaching carb from tank ?, is the vent knob on top of tank in the '' on '' position ?. have you tested the compression?, most 300's require a min of 100 p.s.i. to run decent.

unless its a china ( junk ! ) ?. you most likely will not be able to buy a brand new oem carb for this atc.

i love hot weather, hate cold period !..lol.

yep..thats about the sound of it...we spend day's if not weeks in the deer woods..and some unlucky person tag's a big arse buck on opening day on I-40 doing the speed limit..rofl.

yeah..i don't have any of those here. most times i just use map gas to get rear foot brake levers unseized from all those honda's..lol.

70 right now in central arkansas, i hate cold weather !!. is summer here yet ?..lol.

welcome to the forums. nice ride !. be warned: new oem parts most likely will be discontinued, its used all the way for most parts for that old girl. p.s. some parts from 1986 only fits that year model, and some parts from later year models up until 1989 will swap out. the front drums, brakes, pinion shafts will not be the same on later yr models.

start with a carb cleaning ?..or a shindy carb kit..see what that does ?.

when a 2k lb come along, and map gas to cherry red won't let a pto shaft let go ?, its time to toss in the towel, break down, buy a new one !..lol. in the time i wasted trying to get the sucker apart ?, i was able to drive to tractor supply, purchase a new one cheap, get back home, install it..call it a day. ( i did end up buying a whole new bush hog though ) the bottom line is: some times you just have to know when to quit..lol.

well..you can lead a horse to water..but.... ( you know the rest of this ! )..lol.

if you have a spot light ?, all you need to do is wire it to one of the plugs ( male end )..then just plug it into the plug on the bars. YOU MUST HAVE BOTH PARTS OF THIS PLUG IN ORDER TO USE A SPOT LIGHT !.
