Okay, so I have a 2002 Rubicon 500…bought it last year and it sat for several months until I put a new rear axle in, FINALLY got that done and was super excited to finally have my wheeler going, just to notice a strong gas odor. Popped the seat off and sure enough, pouring gas from the carb overflow. Fast forward a few more weeks and get the new carb and get it in, no leak! Yay. Except now I have no spark. 😒 I’ve tried another plug and checked and am getting no power to the coil pack. I’ve read and read and mostly what I’ve found is ECU, which is fine…but I like to exhaust all avenues before buying the more expensive parts just because I don’t wanna spend the money and it have ended up being something simple that I overlooked because I was trying to rush. 😂 I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I read on another post that someone had similar issues with theirs and it was the sensor on the side of the carb, just a thought since this literally happened after I put the new carb on. It also displays “- -“ on the display screen where it should show the gear position.

Suspicious only happened when you changed the carb, there is a throttle sensor on the carb, you might check that for proper function, also a lot of wires in that area you might check to make sure nothing got unplugged. Those carbs are fairly high tech and a new one may not be talking correctly with the ECU, depending on whether its OEM or aftermarket.

The manual says it will set a code if the throttle cable's been disconnected..  You need to refer to the manual HPorter..

Thats high tech for 2002

      2016 TRX500FA7 Honda Rubicon, Mil light comes on when downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear.
      By Sha35297
      I have this bike in my shop for a customer. It was sunk completely under water and left running until it killed. I did a complete engine rebuild. Replaced all bearings, crank, oil pump, and various other components. Engine starts and runs great. It will shift up through all gears perfectly in automatic and in ESP, but when slowing down it gets to 3rd gear and the MIL "-" light comes on and stays on. No flashes or anything and it will not shift gears. Kill the engine and restart in ESP mode and it is able to shift to neutral and start over. Does the same thing while down shifting in ESP mode. I replaced shift angle sensor with no improvement. Checked oil pressures as per repair manual "74psi" and higher with higher RPM's. With no MIL codes to point at an issue. I am at a loss as to what else to check or replace. Has anyone else ran across this issue?

      2021 Honda Rubicon shifting issues.
      By Chucksta
      So.. It has now become cranky about changing from "drive" to "reverse". Sometimes it's seamless as it's always been, other times it just goes "click, click....click, click " when going from reverse to forward, or from forward to reverse..  Then it gives up and just stops at neutral.  Only thing that seems to help is to give it a bit of a bump / wiggle with my own weight. Any ideas as to what to check? It's low miules / hours .. Dealership maintained..

      2022/23 Honda Rubicon Exhaust deflector???
      By Guest
      I have a 2022/23 Honda Rubicon, and was wondering if there is an exhaust deflector available.  I have a rear basket w/ chainsaw mounts, a winch on the rear, and a hitch.  When I am working at the rear of the quad, the exhaust puffs and hits us, while we work.  It is quite annoying and wound like to be able to direct the exhaust downward.  Is there anything that you know of that would work w/o creating any back pressure that might disrupt the engine?  I’ve been searching for something like this, but can only find ones for small engines and silencers that would interfere with the winch.

      2022 Honda Rubicon won’t start, need help
      By HondaRubi2022
      Hello,
      I have a 2022 Honda Rubicon and I have an issue where it won’t start, when I turn the key for power nothing lights up and it won’t start but the lights will turn on with the light switch, I’ve checked all fuses and they’re good, I don’t have a wiring schematic I’m not sure where to start, I checked the ignition fuse when I turn the key on and there’s no voltage there, I used a jumper wire from the batter to the top of the ignition fuse and then it works fine and starts fine but as soon as I turn the quad/key off it won’t start again until I jump the ignition fuse with battery power, just wondering if anyone could give me some tips where to go with this or if anyone has had the same issue, thank you.

      02 Honda Foreman Rubicon 500 engine or tranny issues
      By TheRetiredMilitaryGuy
      Hey y’all, I need some help badly. I have a 02 Honda foreman rubicon 500, it sat for a year (ran out of time) just did a full top end plus piston and rings on it. Got it running but it will not drive forward at all and will only do 2 mph in reverse. The engine or transmission makes a very loud whining when I hit throttle both ways. 
      I need some help I’m very unfamiliar with the hondamatic. 
       
      Any ideas or options?
