Watching this 11 years later and the videoing then is better than today.

Hands down the best video I've watched on carburetor rebuild for the Honda Fourtrax. Great job at explaining everything and being so detailed.

Here in Mississippi and Just cleaned my 1990 carb with this video! Thanks!!!

best damn fourwheeler carb video! gotta watch 50 crappy ones to find one worth a dang! great vid

D-Ray, I've watched dozens of carb videos and yours is by far the best!!! Great camera work, awesome instruction, no "extra" BS. Thanks much from California!

I’ve watched several of D Rays videos and he is the BEST ! Clear, concise and professional. Thanks for all the help!

Just replaced the carb, spark plug & air filter on one that's been sitting for around 15 years & it runs amazingly well...fires straight up & runs great!

Absolutely fantastic video series. I have the exact same Honda, wasn't getting fuel and had to take apart the carb. Turns out the vacuum pump diaphragm had ruptured! Ordered an OEM replacement and slapped it in, started up great. Your video really helped me get familiar and do the whole process more confidently as I'm pretty new to engine repairs. Thank you!!

So, I'm 14 bought an old Honda 300 1989, have a basic idea on how to clean a carb but I don't know how to do it properly, and your 3 short videos were exactly what I was looking for. Now i know exactly what I need to do to get it running right. Keep up the good work and good videos they're very helpful.

I just completely disassembled and reassembled my first carburetor and it runs like brand new...all because of this video! You are awesome and saved me $300 from previous Honda service shops. Thank you so much for what you do! 1998 Honda TRX300...

one of the best "how to" video's EVER!! Thank you D-Ray!!

You know how long I've been searching for videos on these carbs and quads? 3 years too long and here's the channel I needed 😂. Now I wish I wouldn't have sold my old quads

After Messing with knock off carburetors I broke down and bought me a good replacement carburetor for my 03 Rancher. I installed it with no problem but it runs real rough like it’s pretty rich. After watching this video I believe I know how to adjust the mixture and get like I want it Mine too was sitting up for many years. It was very good before it set up. Then I had the awfullest (my dad’s word) time keeping it running. On the fourth try with the third carburetor I figured out it wasn’t the tank or the gas. it was the sorry knock off carburetor. Thanks for sharing this is exactly what I need to fix my Rancher.

I was a little nervous when considering a carburetor rebuild but these are some of the best instructional videos on any topic I have seen on KZfaq. Excellent job!!

i rebuilt my 1998 trx 300 carb while watching your videos. Very useful information. Thanks a bunch!

I thought this series of videos was very good. Step-by-step and walked me through what was a first carburetor rebuild for me. Thanks!

First timer got the carb rebuilt on my 2000 Foreman! Took 2 tries, but w you looking over my shoulder it worked just like in your videos. Thanks D-Ray! Great stuff!

Hello and many greetings from Germany. Thank you for this video. So I was able to get my Honda to drive again. It jumped after cleaning the nozzles, I didn't have any new ones, immediately on impact. keep it up and thanks again. tommy

d-Ray, thank you very much. I bought a couple of kawaski 250's a few months back and have not been able to get one of them running. I figured it needed a carb kit or to be cleaned up. Never done that before, so I watched your three part series on the Honda 300 you did. Sure enough the float was stuck shut, lots of varnish, and closed jets. I followed your instructions. Awesome for even this beginner. Second kick and the bike started right up. Thank You very much. I enjoyed learning.

Yo D-Ray....I just revived my 3fitty foreman thanks to your detailed video. I am not a mechanic by a long shot but thanks to you I can rebuild an atv carb! Way to take your time and actually help us instead of tooting your horn. A three part video tutor is a great idea to have plenty of time to explain to us newbies, plus it makes it so easy to go back and find your place again. Next up, I just happen to have a 300 fourtrax that is about to get a carb rebuild. For real D-Ray, thank you sir.

Great instruction! Saved $$$, not to mention the frustration of having a machine that just wasn't running "right". Also made rebuilding a carb a little "less intimidating"... Thank you D-Ray!

You are awesome D-Ray !!! Thank you very much. You took all the BS out of trying to find the right information on an good old product (mine a 1999) without wasted time and aggravation. A real pro with simple straight forward information and a very likable personality. If you ever come to Nova Scotia or Newfoundland, I will give you a complimentary helicopter flight.

Hi D-Ray over the weekend I rebuild my carb on my 2000 Honda Rancher Es I did not use the rebuild kit you showed on your video this lead to some problem with the operation of my float valve but over all thanks for all you show on how to rebuild a carb on youtube I never did this before and I went step by step and it worked out great nothing is more rewarding than a good out come when you have attempt to make any repair. PS this rebuild also gave me a much better throttle response more power. thanks again Hank Dixon

Each video I upload depending on run time and number of scenes, takes me about four to six hours to edit and finalize. My camera is just a plain ol' Sony Handycam, model HDR-CX150, and I edit using Cyberlink PowerDirector, currently version 10. Thanks for asking!

I can not express in strong enough terms how much I enjoyed the videos. Ray gave me great confidence and the Fourtrax is running great. When I bought the 4 wheeler it would only run with the choke on so I felt like a plugged up carb was the problem. The original carb had been replaced with a Chinese unit but the owner still had the original so I rebuilt the original. Great success, runs great and is way more powerful than I imagined it would be. Thank you Ray, I'll be tuning in for more help!

The vent hole must have been clogged once I cleared that out the problem went away, Thank you very much. She purrs like a kitten now. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. They are really great.

Great job on the video D-Jay. Great job explaining everything step by step. Now I have no reason to be intimidated by rebuilding my carb. on my 2002 Honda 350!! Keep up the great job your doing for us newbies!! :)

Great informative video. I managed to get my Fourtrax 300 carb cleaned and working again. Thanks from Somerset in the UK

Got my 2004 Honda Rancher running like new after sitting with bad gas for a couple years. Thanks for the videos!

Awesome video! We have a 91 and 93 TRX300 vintage! One of them was left with gas in it for to long and won't start now, I'll have to give this carb rebuild a try. Thanks !!

Got my Honda to idle better because of this video. No more dying out on me when I get off of it real quick to do something. Good work my man

Thanks D-Ray all our bikes are running smooth thanks to you

man thank you,thankyou, thank you, these honda's are bullet proof but this gas whe have to use is awful.watched your video and i could have never done it without you.you saved me a couple hundred bucks thanks again

I get these from my local dealer, or just google "visu filter". I install one on every atv I do carb work on. Thanks for watchin!

Thanks, D-Ray! Great job. My 1996 seems to be exactly like the one in your video. I appreciate the fact that you don't have an accent.

D-Ray, an excellent video in every respect, your clear speech, camera work, light, and your very complete knowlwdge. next time give attention to the spring loaded in the vacuum plunger. Many thanks, Bill Riggan Virginia

You and the Four Wheeler Doctor are the best on KZfaq for these howto's!!!!!!

Ray you explain yourself better than any one I have ever watched on you tube. You should consider a career as an instructor.

I just want to say thank you so much. Mine has been setting for about 3 years now. An amazing video and very informative 👏.

Your step by step videos were a great help, even for a veteran automobile mechanic like myself.

Man, after searching the web for good "how-to" information on TRX300's and decided to give KZfaq a try. I found this three part series which covered EVERYTHING I need to do on my wife's '97 which has sat for over 5 years. Our tank is very rusted and I'm gonna try a few remedies instead replacing it. Also (don't hold this against me) I went to high school in Augusta but I'm back in my home state, Louisiana (don't hold that against me either LMAO)

It's amazing how little they change things like that That's the exact carb that's on my 2004 Rubicon, less a few electronic outlets.

there are a few special tools needed to remove and install some of the bearings, and pinion gear. I would recommend having a dealer look at it. Since the housing is alumimum, it is easy to destroy it trying to remove the old bearings, so be careful.

this is probably the best instructional video I have seen concerning atv repair. thanks for taking the time to do this. I am fixing to tackle my Honda in the next few days and this is what I was looking for!!!

One of the very best carb overhaul videos I’ve seen. Thank you for the great instructional video

This video was by far one of the best. You explain everything so well. This was very helpful. Thank you very much DRay!

Awesome three part series. Easy to follow instructions and my god that zoom! Thanks.

Took me forever to find a GREAT Fourtrax carb video series and I finally found it! Good work!!!

I haven't done a vid on that subject for a trx300 but will at the first chance I get. In the mean time, try the video I did on the XL600R valve adjustment. The engines are different, but the procedure is the same. Thanks for watchin'!

You're one of the best resources on the net, thanks man.

You make it an easy fix and I like the personality. Thanks from Mississippi

Best instructional ever. Went step by step and never had a problem. Thanks man.

Thanks for sharing. i really appreciate people like yourself that are willing to share their knowledge.

Thanks D-Ray....just did my carb on a 94 TRX300 and your videos were very helpful.

I understand D-Ray 's easy directions & great camera work .

What a great series of videos! Because of your videos I decided not taking my Honda Foreman ES to the shop and do it myself. Wish me luck! Mahalo (Thank you) D-Ray Smith.

Thanks for the video , was very helpful and saved me money. Probably the best video I have found on the rebuild.

D-Ray...you crack me up with your end of lesson clips...but your help is greatly appreciated. Now I will know what I'm do'in with that carb. I can see you and I would have got in lots a trouble if we knew each other. Thanx again... D

Best set of videos of have seen period on carburetor rebuild and cleaning, I am no mechanic

Beyond a doubt, the best repair video ever!! Only way it gets any better is if D-Ray jumps out of the screen and fixes my carb himself :)

Many thanks D Ray I followed your 3 videos and hey presto my 300 flashed up into life after two long weeks of this and two other problems! Brilliantly filmed and awesome talk through for all stages...you da man D Ray 👍

Excellant tutorial on carburetor repair. Best I have found

Those "snorkel" connections on the 2nd gen can be a blank to get back in

Gobbless Thabk you so much for taking the time to make this video!!!

Best carb video series out there. Really high quality

You are the MAN, Thanks for your videos. They are the best !!

What a good video. Sharp camera work and explains it to the max.

Thank you sir. You helped me get mine running again in a couple hours.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. Extremely helpful. 95 Honda Fourtrax 300.

What a mechanic!!!! Brilliantly explained,Thank you so much.

I would start by isolating the problem. The way I like to do it is by disconnecting everything not directly tied to the running of the machine. lights, horn, regulator rectifier, then try starting it again. if it doesn't blow the fuse, start reconnecting each item one at a time, and restart the machine till you find the trouble circuit. If you don't find a failed component, it seems that most wiring problems are usually around the steering stem area, where the harness flexes a lot.

Thanks D-Ray! I can do that. Thanks for the confidence builder! Doing my 2004 four trax....

This is an excellent tutorial. I also liked the custom wire milk crate front rack on this unit.

Awesome D-Ray! One of the best You Tube tutorials I've viewed.

Followed it exactly. Perfect video series

Já this guy is awesome He really knows what he is doing!!

Great video sir! best one on I've seen yet hands down. Keep up the awesome work brother!

Amazing...Best one...I have done it by myself - First Time -Your biggest fan in Canada

Very good videos. I was adjusting mine today. Turning it in it starting running rough. I backed it out several turn and it didn't seem to start running rough again. It sped up some but that's about it. My 96 is a little different. The breather to is all one piece and is clear/white plastic. Just saying. Thanks for the video.

The best how to videos out there D Ray is my hero

There are a few things you might have issues with. First, check the carb float chamber vent hose, the one on the upper left side of the carb. If that hose is obstructed, the carb wont vent properly and will overflow thru the bottom hole. also check the drain screw itself, if the tapered tip is corroded, it wont seal off, causing a leak. Also the float level, the float should be parallel to the body of the carb without depressing the spring loaded plunger on the end of the float valve.

Hey D-Ray, great video. Thanks a lot. Phil Atkinson

You should be a TV host my friend! Good Job!

The first thing I would do is pull the air box lid off and see what that does. If that makes it run better, check for a restriction in the air intake to the air box. If not, next check the carb vent hose comming off the side of the carb for a restriction. If you dont find anything there, you probably have a piece of trash under the float valve, causing the fuel level in the carb to run too high. Thanks for watchin'.

Wow! Yes! One of the best!

Thank you D-Ray!

Your videos have been a tremendous help, thank you so much!

thoroughly enjoyed the full series of carb rebuild video's. nice job.

One of the best videos I have watched! Thanks

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.

excellent instructional video. Great quality and slow enough even I can understand

Very good series on the carb.

Hey D-Ray thanks for the tips like your posting. I tinker around in my garage like you do working on some of everything thanks a lot great video God Bless all the way from Detroit MI but all my roots are from TN thanks again

Very helpful video and great camera work. Thanks.

Can you please do a compete overall video series on this quad? Much like you did with the 200 Honda 3 Wheeler. Great job on all your videos!

Nice work my friend!

Nah, just makes it louder, lol! Most likely bein' a 2002, that spark arrester is probably so rusted in place you will probably trash the muffler trying to remove it. You might just remove the muffler for a bit and see if it revs any better, but I havent seen one come apart on the inside and restrict the exhaust enough to cause any running problems.

great! very articulate and informative! Good job D-Ray!

You explained it in such a detail, a cave man could do it! Thanks D-Ray!

Much appreciation mike Scotland
