I ckeaned my carb , I endewd up ordering a rebuild kit from moose as there was one jet I couldn't get to flow. I was having the same issues then it fired up. I need to get it in tune but It fired up.

id say its trailprotrailpro carb..id either buy a rebuild kit or get some new jets..thats prolly wat it is if its gettin a spark but no gas

Put in a new plug. Not a old one that has been cleaned but a new one. I do not know what it is about honda 4-strokes, but I have seen many many times where there is spark at the plug, but no fire. Change the plug to a new one and it fires right up. I started buying plugs by the box of 10. Seems to happen more with trikes that are not ridden as much

if ya wanna know if it's your carb take the carb off and spray gas in the intake and pull the cord if it starts and revs up and then dies it's the carb that messed up..

i sometimes have the same problem with my big red. I usally take the old plug out throw some gas in the plug hole put a new plug in and have some one push me. that usally makes it start if not i get pi55ed. :Evil and let it sit for a while and then pull the hell out of it.


if that dosent work then ide get ole sawd off out and put it out of it missery :D

Checked the air filter lately? Low air flow will foul plugs.
