Welcome, let us know what year and model you have. Check to be sure all wire connectors are properly plugged in and your fuses are good. Some one with more knowledge will be along with more suggestions soon.

Rack is not too bad removing. like jeep said a few bolts on each side and it'll lift right off.

Glad you got it figured out. Look at power sports nation for used parts for your model. You'll be surprised at how much they have to offer. Also get a shindy rebuild kit for the carb. Stay away from the chinese garbage.

Check all of your connections to be sure they are clean and properly connected. Including ground. If all looks good you can cook your CDi box. I just recently did the cdi on a 88 300 and it worked. put cdi box in oven at 450 for 7 minutes. With plug facing up.

Well that sucks

Power sports nation has several fan control boxes for an 88. around $17 if I remember correctly. I did not see any cdi boxes though. My son has an 88 300 we just got running. I had to get a couple parts from there.

I may be wrong but I think I remember reading they used artic cat parts to build those.

Hey now, I can BS with the best of em

Lol you're a glutton for punishment. I say go with silver. But with that said I have black rims on my rancher.

Lol I may be able to stop in later tonight.

Welcome, great group of folks here. We'd love for you to share some of the mountain scenery with us.

Ok, I have feeling it is the ignition coil. Everything checks out according to the manual. I'm waiting on a coil and rectifier from PSN. The parts were cheap enough I went on and ordered both along with a master cylinder. Appreciate the feed back. Sorry about the slight thread hijack.

I have an 88 trx 300 that I'm working on with no spark. If we determine it is the CDI will the one from Ricks work? I have read differing reviews. The 88 model supposedly was a one off year. Anyone with experience with this year?

I put a new needle in from the rebuild kit. It seemed like it was working properly before reassembly but that was a couple months ago and I can't remember how or if I tested it . I will look back at it later. I'll check back in when I get to it. Thanks for the help.

Well I was wrong. It is not the drain that is leaking. My son just bought an 88 trx 300 2x4 last week. He took out the carb last night to clean. While it was out I swapped the drain screw from his to the 450 to see if they were the same. It is still leaking. I guess I need to tear back into that carb now. Not real sure what the problem may be. It'll have to wait til we get the wiring of this 300 redone. Previous owner hacked it up pretty good. The 300 carb appears to be an aftermarket. It looks fairly new and clean. But the drain is interchangable.
