2005 Honda Rancher Choke Cable

[@billmcmeekin7909]

Thank you very much ehhh 🇨🇦 :-) Best $35.00 if ever spent! Never worked from new 20 years ago, always used carb primer to start it. That was rough and terrible in cold weather. Starts immediately and smooth like a Honda should now. I appreciate your time spent to educate us all. Well done :-)

[@kevinr5187]

Great video, I replaced my choke today. I did it without removing the plastic from around the fuel tank by cutting the old cable up near the handle bars and taping the old cable and the new cable ends together and pulling the new cable thru as I pulled the old cable out. Electricians call it fishing. Just make sure you tape the new and old together really good and tight. Feed the new cable in with one hand up by the handle bars while pulling the old cable out by the carb....hope this makes sense. It worked really well. Thanks for the video.

[@DaleHobbs39]

Hi Kevin Fishing sounds great. Would have saved me some work. Thanks for watching.

[@miked8227]

Getn ready to do the same. My advice is buy a cover for your quad and won’t have to worry about replacing the cable. Left mine out in snowy cold temps and that’s when the trouble started. Moisture plays havoc on the cable and ignition.

[@miked8227]

Replaced the cable and was able to “fish” the old cable thru as was suggested. Good advice!

[@kevinr5187]

@@miked8227 Good to hear. Glad it helped.

Thanks this is a great help im changing my choke cable in the morning . Thank you

[@timmarshall946]

Glad to have this available. Thanks. Had trouble getting through the outside noise though. I understand though.

[@BearAirboatRides2]

Great video. My 2004 rancher carb choke plunger nut broke this afternoon while putting it back on. I am using your video to teach me how to replace that. Thanks much.

[@DaleHobbs39]

Happy I could help. Thanks for watching.

[@chrisandsteve5238]

Great video! I went to start my 2015 Rubicon this morning and the cable housing broke in two.

[@group447]

Great video Dale. I have a 2006 and you showed me exactly what I need to do. I have the same problem and the plastic nut is broken in the same place. Thanks so much!!

[@timstraub1490]

I'm having trouble getting the choke plunger to go back in the housing. It seem that the o ring is catching or the needle isn't lined up. I did lube the o ring and everything looks straight. Any suggestions?

[@theriverchurch1204]

Dale, I see in your video between minute 7:34 and 8:00 there appeared to be a small O-ring between the choke float and the spring. What is that for? Also does the new choke cable come with that? I did not see that addressed on re-install. Look forward to your comments on that.

[@billyhancock7953]

Trying to assemble the parts at the carb end of the cable end (rubber elbow boot, clip, spring and metal elbow and nut) but uncertain about positioning of the metal elbow. Which end (little or big end) is inserted first first into the rubber boot?

[@DaleHobbs39]

I would try the little end. I didn't take the elbow apart. It has been 7 years since I did this job and haven't done one since. Sorry I couldn't give you a definite answer. Thanks for watching.

[@billyhancock7953]

@@DaleHobbs39 Thanks for your reply, Dale

[@TheJakeRobinson]

I'm missing my "choke mechanism" - the part the cable connects to at carb in... any idea about a part number for this? thanks

[@Smalltechguy]

You should be able to find that portion at any online store. Partzilla out of Albany has a wide stock of parts.

[@TheJakeRobinson]

@@Smalltechguy thanks - I was able to order it as part of a kit - cheers

[@wilfredotorres6069]

What spark plug uses that ATV? Help plis

[@billybonk2000]

totally awesome. funny and informative

[@Smalltechguy]

Your Rancher is like my Foreman. Glad your going slow as to be able to watch. This Foreman had been stolen by some kids and ruined the ATV. All the plastics are in a box and so far what I had done is replace the carb, new choke cable as you had just done. New solenoid and battery. The digital meter was also ruined by heat and the protective cover was shot as well. I purchased a new one and it seems to work just fine. I'm waiting on a fuel sender as we speak then will try to fill the tank with some 93 octane. What fuel do you use??

[@DaleHobbs39]

I use non ethanol fuel I think it is 59 octane. I'm at around 6400 feet above sea level so I can use the lower octane.

[@CbrF4i600cc]

Don't know what i did wrong but i did all this and my choke don't work as it should (pretty sure i bought the wrong elbow but it threads in, don't see it making a big difference)

[@cadeshook]

[@markoradinovic7350]

+Dale Hobbs my friend told me I don't need to replace the whole choke cable that all I need to change is a new choke valve. I'm not sure If I should order the choke or the choke valve. What do you suggest ?

[@DaleHobbs39]

If the cable isn't hard to move in and out and it moving the valve, then just replace the valve.

[@loststormpanda4036]

Very good information. Please do something about the background noise.

[@DaleHobbs39]

Daniel Maguire The background noise is a problem. I have upgraded my editing software and can filter out most of it. Thanks for watching.

[@outdoorsnomad]

great video. My problem was needle was stuck in carb. WD40 did the trick on that though.

[@DaleHobbs39]

+Outdoorsnomad 03 Thanks for watching. WD40 and carburetor cleaner will fix darn near anything.

[@Anttiajt]

Hey Dale, nice video. On my dads 02 foreman (carb n choke look the same) his chike won't stay up, slips right down. Do you know if there is something to tighte to fix this?

[@DaleHobbs39]

I have 2 ATV and the coke on both of them will not stay on. I just hold in out for a few minuets. I guess that's better than driving around with the choke on. Thanks for watching.

[@stllaorer]

tighten the 17mm nut right under the choke pull

Automatic transmission is by far the best system and honda is oddiles and gobs above the rest of the ATVs.

[@philipcastracucco6419]

⁸8iiiiii

[@skipperskipper2936]

I have a 2013 honda ranche rat( rancher at ) 420. no choke. Only 2 things I dont like and I don't like a lot! #1 reverse. Too much bullsh it to shuft it into reverse. #2 steering. It dose not turn sharp enough and it extrenely stiff *needs power steering.* I have a 2016 honda trx 500 Deluxe M7 with powersteering.! And front diff lock ! Fantastic. But. Manual shift sucks and that same dam complicated reverse procedure. Wow what a difference that power steering makes. Manual shift is same as motorcycle except no clutch. Both have all wheel independent suspension.

[@Bob-gn8ph]

Most Hondas are easy to bypass the reverse stuff research it❤
