I have a 300 fourtrax 2 WD not sure what year. I only have spark after releasing the starter button. no neutral lite,oil lite only stays on for a few seconds,battery fully charged. Any ideas?
find the vin number, its stamped on the front of the frame somewhere, read left to right, count the 10th digit, let us know, or google it ?, that will tells us what year trx300 you have .
Replace with an OEM Honda CDI (or genuine Ricks purchased directly from Ricks website) only... if you put a china knockoff on it you might fry stuff. Expect no mercy.
A single spark when the starter button is pressed is a false trigger from the CDI which occurs as the system activates and deactivates. This may not be the fault of a bad cdi. You’ll need to test: Stator (3 phases) & a/c exciter coil, pulsar coil, 12vdc and ground at the CDI connector.
Neutral light shouldn’t be an issue as if the circuit was faulty it would not allow the starting circuit to operate.
if he does not show a neutral light on the dash ?, he will never get it to fire the park plug !. not saying the bulb can't be bad ?, but its best for the green light to be lit. and yes..it means the c.d.i. is bad..been there..done that..thousands of times !!!.
Reminder steve james, the TRX300 bikes all have DC-CDI ignition systems. No exciter coil on them... and the stator is used for charging system purposes only.

I asked a simple question. I don't understand your rude response. Thanks so much.
