‘87 TRX 350D 0 Posted February 29 87 TRX350D won’t start it was starting and quit I have spark, I rebuilt carb with allballs kit checked everything twice on carb. It’s flawless ( I think). Every time I go to start it fouls plug with gas. I clean plug and try again and it fouls again I’ve adjusted valves at 003. Ive readjusted decompression after valves 1/32”-1/8” If fuel pump has too much p.s.i. Can that be the issue? I did a measurement of fuel per serv. manual. Says run into beaker for 5 seconds and multiply by 12. I get just below 2ounces which equates to somewhere between 18 and 23 ounces. Manual says no more than 11.2 ounces can that cause plug fouling? I thought fuel relay would shut pump if carb doesn’t need gas? anyone have an idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 4,048 Posted February 29 You guessed it.... your carb is flooding fuel after you put a china carb kit in the carb. You'll need to remove all of the All Balls carb kit parts and either put all of the original Honda OEM parts back in the carb, or replace them using a genuine Shindy carb kit. All Balls kits are china garbage and china garbage does not ever work on a Honda. It sounds like your fuel pump is fine. Let us know how it goes after the china parts are removed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply retro so I reinstalled original jets as you suggested I cleaned spark plug again and started but it only lasted about 10 seconds and died. Pulled spark plug and again it was fouled from gas. should I try a hotter plug? I am using NGK DR8-ESL plug? If so what number plug is hotter? thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
‘87 TRX 350D 0 Posted February 29 Also searched Shindy and it says for the 1987 Honda TRX350D Foreman it would take Shindy kit #03-023 when I search that kit Amazon says that kit won’t fit my 87 TRX350D that makes no sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retro 4,048 Posted March 1 Use a stock NGK spark plug. It sounds like your float valve is leaking causing it to flood. The Shindy kit for your '87 TRX350D is #03-023 according to Shindy. Jeep beat me to it.... https://www.shindypro.com/product-page/carburetor-repair-kits A Shindy kit should fix it unless your fuel pump isn't shutting off. You can test that by plugging the fuel hose and turn the key on. The pump should run briefly then shut down at about 5 PSI or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
