One of the new projects we picked up this summer was this barn-find 1986 Honda Fourtrax TRX 350 that had been sitting since 1995. The story goes that it belonged to our Dad’s coworker when he was younger and living in Colorado. After moving to Texas, the elevation change meant it never ran quite right. They brought it to a Honda Powersports dealer they changed the jetting, but it still didn’t run properly so it has sat until now. Mr. Keith was kind enough to let us have the Fourtrax for free to see if we could get it running. Our first idea was to just completely rebuild the carburetor after checking that there were no major issues that would prevent it from running and it ended up working out pretty well! This ATV is an amazing piece of history and an absolute tank, and we can't wait to drive it some more.
Thanks for watching, stay safe and stay tuned for the next video!

Welcome back guys before this video starts, we just wanted to say that we're sorry and posted in a while we got busy with school daniel heading out still getting moved into the garage here. So we definitely had to take some time off to do some other things, but uh now we're kind of back on the grind. We've got some really cool projects for you like uh, this rotary rare rotary engine, we're putting on an atv so make sure you stay subscribed, stay tuned. We've got a lot of great content.

Coming we're gon na keep up with it a lot more now with things more relaxed. So thank you guys for sticking around and check out the video in last episode. You all saw us revive this 1986 honda 4 tracks. It was great.

We got to drive around the shop a little bit, but now we kind of want to open it up and see what it can do. This thing has been sitting since 1995.. We got just got it running yesterday, so you know it does smoke a little bit. The shifts aren't super smooth, but i'm sure it'll be a blast before we start kind of tearing into it and doing a more restoration project, but yeah, let's get going cool yeah guys.

It's pretty great. I mean it's got it's a four speed and then has a super low, so um, if you ever, if we're ever going to crawl this thing, hopefully we'll be able to take it off road park, it's going to be insane. It basically just walks up anything and then um. The four speeds great.

It gets going pretty fast, the steering's good and it doesn't feel tippy which i'm very surprised with, because it seems kind of top-heavy so yeah. I'm very impressed with this thing. So a funny story about this thing: the family that was the original owner of this fortrex - they used to live in colorado and they brought it down to texas. So obviously the elevation is a lot different, so you need the carb to be have a different jet.

So they brought this thing to a honda dealer in 95 and the honda dealer tried everything and they said they couldn't fix it. So this thing sat in a garage from 95 to 2021 and you know we actually just got it running in a day. I mean, obviously it has a little bit of black smoke and you know it's not perfect, but it does run and it's usable and it's a blast. So so we kind of just dunked on a honda dealer.

Yeah yeah, don't trust your local honda dealer. That's probably good threaten your local honda dealer yeah, guys good thing. This thing has good suspension because probably would have been a goner on that one. I it shot me off to the side and i broke the gas tank, zip ties, but um yeah.

This thing can take a jump, so the great thing about this is the super low gear. So we'll just kind of show you some bumps and then maybe we'll take up some bigger super low yeah it handled that super easily. So we do have one bigger hill and we'll see how it does on that. Hey guys, watch this too easy yeah reverse felt a little sketchier than i was expecting, but um yeah.

This thing can't go over anything, it's pretty great. If you want to you know, if we're going to be taking this thing off the road, it's it's exactly what we need! You want a race yeah all right figure out how to line them up all right time for a race, yeah, ranger versus four tracks. Three two one got me yeah guys, so that about does it with the four tracks. You know it's a really great atv.
You know we all we've had before is the mini quad. So this is kind of new for us and you know i can see why people these are expensive and people love them and you drive them for years. It's pretty great. I mean this thing's awesome, it's got, you know, roof rack or rear rack front rack.

Four speed i mean sunflower, it's got everything so um. It was a blast to drive. Thank you, daniel for letting us use doryland and thank you all for watching and stay tuned for more videos of this thing. Going more off-road, good things here.
