Honda Rancher 350 Carburetor Replacement

[@charlieparker8940]

Thanks for posting this! Was kind of hesitant to try and replace the carb on my ATV myself, but this video shows how easy it should be.

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

Thanks and thanks for watching

[@saltydawg8988]

I’ve had to replace the carb on ours(same model) 3 times or so. It’s not a big job, takes about 30min to an hour.

[@mattlewis6965]

Thank you for posting these videos! My family thinks I'm a small engine repair wizard! You da man!

[@robertjoly821]

Need u to stop by my place. My Rancher 350es is killing me! Great video. Best I've seen.

[@Forestadventures-vk2ne]

Can you make a video showing how to replace the gas lines there is not a single video on KZbin showing how to do it

[@rodneychapman197]

Very nice video my guy. I’m hoping the carb is my problem on the 2006 350trx tm I’m working on. It will crank, but it dies when I put in gear. Doesn’t sound like it would be a carb issue, but it’s my Uncle’s atv and he leaves all his stuff with gas in it wayyy to long. Yeah. If it’s not the carb I guess I’ll have to try something else. Anyway. One if the best videos I’ve seen yet! And I’ve watched dozens and dozens!!

Great video awesome camera work easy to follow

Awesome video, Thank you !!

I replaced my carburetor on my Rancher ES, but I can’t locate the vent line to hook the hose from the carburetor back to it. Is there a way to find it or would you mind sharing where the line exactly comes from? I am a novice, lol!

[@ChristopherOwens-q5i]

Where does the vent line go to cause I can't find mine and I have two other lines that go to the rear-end but can't find the vent for the card

[@patriciareynolds2729]

ED, put carb on the 350, heater plug wrong. started up, ran, idled. looked ok, week later, started up, died, wont start back. seems to be no gas to spark plug?? going to adjust cable to throttle maybe this needs opening some. also adg. the idle speed knob, didnt help. just seems to not be getting gas? think i will also put inline gas filter on since i dont see one. must be a strainer inside gas tank? i forgot,i had to tap carb.to get float unstuck to get gas, maybe stuck closed again so that bowl is empty.

[@seanhessel7803]

Wish you could show a close up of putting the choke cable back together.

[@MrTruckerf]

It is a job to compress the spring and get everything lined up so you don't cross the threads. I usually spend a half hour on each thing they don't show in the video. Had a heck of a time unplugging the carb heater plug and he didnt show that. After you've done it is easier the next time but that first time can be a bitch.

[@daslog]

This was helpful, thank you!

[@georgemcmahill5023]

After you get it disconnected, does the airbox just lift straight up out of there or is there another trick?

[@JT_hammer]

Thanks bro i have a Chinese odeos 400 and thay are the same thanks alot keep it up

[@dylanmitchell7962]

What kind of problems was it having before this? The choke on mine is stuck. Was running fine that way but now it won’t start but will crank and backfire

[@titanpolus5088]

What's that tube for the air box? My stock plastic one is broken

[@dkeck2174]

What aftermarket carb did you buy...there is so many China carbs can't tell which to buy?

[@44mickd]

Excellent video!

[@matticus6339]

1 other question I have, could you put the jets from the original carb into the aftermarket one? Seems that would make sure you have the exact correct jets. Do they not have the same threads?

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

Yes you can use the old jets to ensure proper jetting.

[@jpjp3873]

Hey buddy, I have a quick question. My rancher 350 doesn’t have the air filter body inside of the foam filter. Is it really necessary? Thanks!

[@piledriver141]

Great video 👍 i’ve got a 2002 350 4x4 rancher. Seat just won’t seal anymore. What brand carb did you put on this machine

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

I believe this is the carb I used. www.ebay.com/itm/312932121504?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=91jFQ-hFSJC&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@piledriver141]

@@FourwheelerDoctor thanks very much. Its a terrible design when the seat is built into the bowl of carburetor. I paid the $300 last time, not doing it again. 👍 I watch all your videos . Keep em coming

[@-mysterious-ne7yx]

Can you fix my Honda rancher 350 all that I know that it needs so far is vacuum lines and a carburetor

[@drewwagner4802]

Is there an inline fuel filter going to the carburetor?

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

Honda does not put inline fuel filters on any of their bikes.

[@patriciareynolds2729]

@@FourwheelerDoctor maybe strainer inside tank??

[@totespaify]

Do you have a link for the new carb you got ?

[@jonamtz329]

I got mine off of eBay

[@larrywalden626]

I just bought one from Amazon last week and had to send it back. Mines a 06. Body wise it looked identical, but it was missing a orifice plug in place in the aluminum casting, and didn’t come with the black thing with 3screws holding it to the carb body. Also the electric plug was different. So I sent it back. Can you provide a link where you purchased? Thanks

[@Bumjosue]

Where did you end up getting the carb at? I can a 06 also

[@apacheninja3298]

Where does the tiny little plastic covered filter go.

[@matticus6339]

My question is why would you put a chinese carb on it instead of just rebuilding the original Keihin carb. I recently bought a 2000 rancher and it had a china carb on it, nothing but issues, had to but an original Keihin and put on it. My luck with china carbs on other small engines is crap to.

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

I found a few of the carb suppliers that I have not had problems with. The problem with rebuilding the factory one is the brass seat cannot be replaced. And if a carb is leaking out the bottom tube often times I spend more time trying to get it to stop and that would take me to replace the entire carb.

[@matticus6339]

@@FourwheelerDoctor I should have watched whole vid before I replied to see where you talked about the brass seat. What is your recommendation on a rancher 350 cylinder? The 2000 rancher I bought recently had a bad rattling sound, I had it down to where I was pretty sure it was piston slap, I tore it down today and it has a niche cylinder and niche piston, the piston rocks back and forth in the bore the piston is so loose, crank is tight. Was wondering about a niche cylinder with say a wiseco piston?

[@irbyboy2342]

What does that bottom hose on the carburetor hookup to

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

The very bottom hose that comes out the bowl of the carburetor does not hook to anything. It is a drain for the bowl if it ever gets too much fuel in it.

[@irbyboy2342]

Ok my cousin has a 04 rancher and gas is leaking out of that hose I saw another where the guy said that if gas starts to leak out of that hose that means something inside of the carburetor has went bad and the only fix is to replace the carburetor

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

@@irbyboy2342 yes that normally means the float is stuck in the carb. You can take it apart and clean it. Whatever you do don't plug it up so it quits leaking. It'll fill the motor up with gas. I've had pretty good luck with the aftermarket carbs on those ranchers and they're only in the 30 to 40 dollar range off eBay.

[@shawndavidmorgan7854]

I got my new one on but it is idling a little fast. It's not letting me set the idling down from the idling screw. What do you think is wrong? I didn't change anything out on the new carb.

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

Have you tried adjusting the throttle cable?

[@richardmann3076]

Where u located at

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

[@MiguelFernandez-xw9kd]

Very good four weler Ace new video the honda rencon clush sentrifugo replasament

[@mburton0829]

The wire that you had to pull from the passenger side. It wasn't the same plug on the new carb. I'm having that problem right now is why I watched this video. In hopes of an easy fix.

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

That is for a carb heater. If you don't want to cut the wiring you can always remove the original heater and screw it into the new carb.

[@o.w.doutdoorswithdennis9492]

Does the carb heater plug have to be plugged in? The reason I ask is because I can get a carb from a guy but it doesn’t have it as mine does

[@christopherparis6841]

Use the old clip duh jffc wtfk is this your first time?

[@christopherparis6841]

Ohhhh pull out heater n screw in the old one holy fkn fk me running lmfao yup you shouldn't be aloud to use hand/power tools.....
