Hello everyone, need some help with my Honda 2001 TRX350TM Rancher. About a year ago my rancher carburetor began flooding. When my son in law brought it home I put it in the shed and haven't bothered with it since. Recently I decided to get it going again. I replaced the carburetor and serviced it with a drop in replacement carb. Now upon trying to start it I cannot get it to fire at all. Can anyone give me a hint where to start troubleshooting what has happened. It was starting but flooding when I put it in the shed. It seems as if I am not getting any fire to the ignition.(just a guess) Can you give me any outline to follow to find my problem?

More Information

Here is a little more info about this machine. It was a fence find (farmer parked it in the field next to a fence when he thought it was all used up) I rescued it and put all the body back on that he had stored in his barn. After cleaning up the carb and trying to get started I had exactly the same problem getting it started. Worked on it for a long time and then one day it started and had run and started great ever since. The problem is, I don't have a clue what I did but whatever it was got it to going. Here I am again and really don't know where to start. I am getting fuel. Want to check out the electrical since it could just be a bad connection. And hints or steps to go thru to check out the electrical. The starter and lights all work fine. Thanks in advance.

Update on 350 engine starting problem

I will spray the carb and see if it starts. If it doesn't I will get back for some ignition troubleshooting. Thanks for the manual downloads. One Step at a time! Thanks Again
