Honda Foreman won’t stay running. How to clean carb.

[@NashwaukSteve]

Thanks for the thorough video! Impressive one-hand work while you were holding the camera. I’ve got my parts and am about to do this same job.

[@BackyardGarage1]

Thank you!

[@charcoons2318]

Great instruction, I'm totally inspired to rebuild my foreman carburator. This is my first straight gas carburator rebuild. You are so confident in knew what you were doing and made it look like I can do it so here I am doing it. Anyway I got to the mix screw where you're supposed to count two and a half down and then take it out or see how it is 2 and a half or whatever anyways it is a special adjustment tool so I believe that my chainsaw my Husqvarna adjustment tool might work.

[@BackyardGarage1]

Thank you for the kind words. It’s not hard at all just might be daunting at first if you have never done it. For the adjustment screw, You can also use just a flat blade screwdriver. I don’t have any special tools. Just be sure to note where everything goes and how many turns out the mixture screw is and you should be good to go. Good luck with rebuilding it. I hope it runs as good as mine did when I was done.

[@ancilhall2933]

Watched video & took notes. You did a good thorough job explaining how to rebuild the Carb. Carb float stuck open on mine, pouring gas.

[@BackyardGarage1]

Have you tried to close it by tapping the carb base with a screwdriver or small hammer?

[@ancilhall2933]

@@BackyardGarage1 I tried Pecking on carb & Seafoam with no luck. After watching your video I will get to work rebuilding it. Thanks for the help.

[@BackyardGarage1]

@@ancilhall2933 ok great! Good luck! Tilts super easy if you have any doubts, just take pictures as you go and make sure to count the turns on the idle mixture screw from fully seated when you take it all apart to clean.

[@ancilhall2933]

@@BackyardGarage1 I wrote down step by step what you said in the video & made a diagram of the carb. Thanks you for helping.

That’s the carb bowl heater with the electric connector on it.

[@Skuggan91]

Great video. Very informative and gives me confidence to do it all myself. Thanks

[@BackyardGarage1]

No problem glad I was able to share my knowledge

[@skylermorefield1468]

Great vid helped me

[@BackyardGarage1]

Awesome! Glad I could help you!

I have the 500 hundred Rubicon. Air inlet tube that runs into the box is on the otherside. Took me 6 hrs to clean that carb. Always loose them plastic clips that hold the panels on. Bought it last year . Last year as soon as you hit the start button it would crank immediately. Drained all gas. Cleaned carb. Hard to start the first time in 80 deg weather. Once it starts no more problems untill the next day. Driven me mad.lol

[@BackyardGarage1]

Yeah, can be a pain

[@garywinterbottom7270]

very informative I used your instructions to do mine but could you tell me about that rubber piece you took out in bottom of carb next to that jet should it have something inside of it mine has something that looks brown in color or should it be just an open hole ?

[@BackyardGarage1]

It’s probably a filter.

[@jonnyv.5718]

On the ultrasonic, did you turn on the heat? If so, what temperature? Thanks in advance

[@BackyardGarage1]

Yes I do. I set it to max heat. The hotter the better for cleaning. Helps get any grease loose and come off.

[@jonnyv.5718]

@@BackyardGarage1 awesome thanks again! I have a 2009 Honda Foreman TRX500FE

[@BackyardGarage1]

@@jonnyv.5718 awesome! Good luck getting her running.

[@freeforester1717]

Not too surprised to see that the washer on the main adjustable needle was already lost.

[@BackyardGarage1]

Yep they generally are and of course you can’t just get a new washer

[@BigDaddy-jo8ig]

Y does it have 2 fuel lines going in to it what is the green or blue one for and y does it have a y in the fuil line for 2 of them mine only has one

[@BackyardGarage1]

I would have to look at yours but it’s because one of mine is a prime and I believe yours is a non prime one

[@Kebekwoodcraft7375]

My mixing screw looks sealed 😊

[@BackyardGarage1]

If it’s sealed, try to put it into an ultrasonic cleaner or soaking it in chem dip (can get at auto parts store) and let it sit and soak for about an hour or 20 minutes in ultra sonic and then rinse with water and blow out all passages to make sure they are clear.

[@Kebekwoodcraft7375]

Wasn’t seal cap just no slot for screwdriver 🪛 but like a D shaped head so I a slot myself.

[@BackyardGarage1]

@ ok awesome!

[@richardhetrick4770]

Need to mount camera to a head band to have both hands

[@BackyardGarage1]

Yeah that was before I had my tripods that I have now

[@sim7409]

why not take choke off while still on bike?

[@BackyardGarage1]

Because it was just as easy to do this

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

I believe that electric line coming off of it is the carb warmer I completely sure of that cuz I know it has manual choke so it don't need electric hook and manual Chuck but I believe it's listed as the carb warmer once again I can be completely wrong but this is what we're here to do share information that's the way I understand it but I can be wrong and a fam disregard it as another idiot on KZbin that would be me LOL

[@BackyardGarage1]

You would be correct on that! I had to check it out as it’s got the manual choke. But thanks for sharing! I learn something new every day. 😊
