Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 1, 2022 The regulator of the 88-92 has a different part number than 93-up , when I look at the 1st and 2nd gen wiring prints , I don't see any differences on the regulator or ignition switch wiring ------ I got the CRS lately and can't remember if the regulators will interchange or not between the 1st and 2nd gen and I been down that road before and want to say you need the correct gen --- I once had a problem with the regulator over charging and blowing the fuse , it was putting out 20volts when the engine was rev'ed , as long as you did not rev the engine it would sit there and idle here is a used OEM 1st gen regulator for a decent price , as I think when they where available they were like $250 https://www.ebay.com/itm/224705520018?epid=1111838379&hash=item34517e2192:g:dEkAAOSws9Bhm9za Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted January 1, 2022 Hey FF how’s come some regulators have two pin connectors and some have the two in a single white connector? Hambone which you have? Here’s one looks correctly listed off “a running driving unit.” https://www.ebay.com/itm/92-88-93-Honda-Fourtrax-300-4x4-31600-HC4-010-Voltage-Regulator-A-/284070975334?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Lotta sellers say “For Honda” and others outright mislead by saying “Brand: Honda” when clearly is not Honda. ok hambone what else is going on here. Do you have a battery in this ATV? If not, you might damage the stator so get a battery. If so, suggest you put it on a trickle charger to keep it charged.

Hambone1913 1 Posted January 3, 2022 I have the right Voltage regulator rectifier now put it on And no fuse is blowing but still no spark or neutral light or oil light I even had a cdi I that came with a coil I got Month ago it doesn't work and the old old I think it is blowed all ground are good now I am at a lost.

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted January 3, 2022 If it were me , I would buy a Rick's 1st gen CDI , I would only buy it from Rick's over the phone , as there were fakes out there on Ebay , Amazon and the net , and you want to talk with them to get the correct cdi for your 1st gen , they are closed till 1/4/2022 , Rick's MotorSports Electrics 1-800-521-0277 I would not buy ANY new CDI that was not OEM , except for Rick's , I would buy used OEM first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted January 3, 2022 No neutral light or oil light? I don’t know how this could be a CDI fault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know how this could be a CDI fault I think he has more than one problem , since he says he changed the cdi to one that came with a coil and don't like used parts , makes me think the cdi and coil are after market also ---- maybe i am trying to read too much into it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hambone1913 1 Posted January 3, 2022 Yes but I don't have any shorts now and I won't but used I buy what I can return just ordered a CDI # HC4 770 which is the replacement for the original part that is not sold anymore and it wasn't that cheap I ask my mechanic if he would get it he said that is all we buy and got it on sale and if I need to return it I can just take it back to Walmart because Walmart lets a lot of places go through them I may have just blown the lights but the reverse light still works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think when I did get in running I should have put everything back in the holders before doing a donut with in because that's when it stopped and the $35 carburetor was working great and the $45 starter works great to just did a Synthetic oil change on it In hopes I get it running Just have to take the peacock off and put a new one on it Just need a good battery For it nowThe mechanic is going to look at it for me for free no charge unless he has to put parts on it So at least I can buy battery from him Good to make friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonus that’s OEM. i recommend you rebuild it. We consider that when you’re ready and got spark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used OEM parts over new China parts any day.
