Please help: 1992 Honda Fourtrax

Recommended Posts

I just rebuilt a 92 fourtrax which was sitting on the side of the road for about 6 years it’s a Honda so needless to say it’s running again but I really know nothing about its controles I am just looking for some one with the same modle to let me know about such things as recommended tire pressure, transmition and any thing that I may have missed in the blind transition from a motorcycle. Right now my quad has been running for all of two days, so its quirky to say the least I am used to a motorcycle and don’t know how much of the ride is damage or just different. It runs great it starts fine. However it is a bear to shift the clutch is plan scary and the gears all feel the same beyond super low if you have any words of wisdom or info for me I would be grateful.

Welcome to the site and congrats on the find! Your clutch cable may be rotted to hell, and you could probably use a clutch rebuild. I'm assuming you changed all the fluids?

I'm also going to move your thread into the mechanics section, We have a certified Honda and Yamaha mechanic on our staff. He is the man when it comes to tis stuff. He is Raptor8 and give him a day or so and he will help you.

Thanks I did change the oil and gas the last couple of days I have taken it out for a spin and found it to smooth out slightly I cannot wait to hear from the experts, as I am truly a newbie in this case. I love owning an ATV and have already started fabricating a plow system for it but I am still ignorant to the basics. I will pull off the primary this week and check the clutch cable to let you know I am still hoping for the 411 on tire pressure and transmission.

yes, I would stay with about 5 lbs, maybe a little less. If you overpressure them they stretch out and don't shrink back to their original size....rem my atc185 Bot? that's what happened to it.

Hopefully some nice clean oil will help the clutch.....if not after a couple more rides, change the oil again and I'll help you adjust it. it's simple.

Tell me more about this fourtrax OK? the sticker is on the sterring head [front of frame] and will have model, year and vin. I just need the model and year so we know what we are dealing with.....LOTS of Honda guys on here, I am sure you will get PLENTY of help. Don't be afraid to ask!:wink:

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.

      I'm assuming, it's alright to test the engine after adjusting valves without the rear axle installed? Can someone please verify this? I'm waiting on axle parts and wanting to get that done while waiting. Thanks! 🙂
