The CDI does nothing to your air/fuel ratio. You need to pull your spark plug and see what it looks like. Black= too rich, white= too lean, and tan is perfect. You can change jets inside your carb to add more fuel

How longs it been since you changed it? Maybe try getting a new one and doing a plug chop to get a true reading. Or at the very least wire brush the one you have and chop it. If its still black your getting too much fuel, go down in jet size.

If your plug is black, that's too rich not too lean.

air filter clean? good fuel? It's not getting enuf air for the fuel it's trying to burn.

maintenance and a new spark plug will prob help you a bunch!

we have to start at the beginning, but we can do it.

Another thing you might want to check for is intake air leaks, if you are pulling extra air from somewhere around the carb it will make the machine run lean. If there are leaks, they need to be fixed before doing anything else.

Hope you have around $175 to blow...thats approx. the rate I charge people for cleaning, tuning, and jetting a carb. I think you could iron this out if you just provided a little more information to us. Were you able to find any air leaks? Did you try a new plug chop? Adjust your f/a screw any? Move the clip on your needle? Also what jets are in it? Whats your elevation?

      Looking for two stock front wheels for 92 TRX300 2WD.   I think they are 6 x11" size.

      on my honda trx 500 we have no power to the ignition switch for starting or ignition
      we have lights and horn working
      all fuses are fine
      have traced through the harness and cant find any broken wires or bad connections
      from what we have gathered so far the pgm fi unit is not sending any power to the fuel pump relay to power everything up.
      if we put power direct to the ignition switch plug then everything works but wth the key in the off position.
      does this sound like a faulty pgm fi unit?

      Hey everyone, I just picked up a 91 trx350 4x4 with a blown top end. I don't know what happened to the poor thing but the cam journals that were round are oval shaped now. I also bought a running engine from a 92 trx350 4x4 to swap into the 91. Is there anything in particular I should be checking while the engine is out and I have good access to it and the frame?

      I have a 1990 Honda fourtrax 300 2x4
      I rode the other day for 30-45 min. Switched it off and now it is completely dead..
      battery is fully charged, fuses are good . WILL NOT TURN OVER ,
      headlights won't turn on , No neutral, reverse or oil temp lights . Electrically it is completely dead !!! I replaced the key switch and CDI box , STILL NOTHING.
      I bypassed the neutral safety switch and grounded it to the battery and still nothing !! I used a jumper wire on the starter Solenoid , the motor will turn over but not start . I even bypassed both fuses and straight wired it to see if I could get a neutral light or headlights still nothing . What could it be ?
