i have a 2000 trailboss 325,it idles just fine ,but when i put it in drive it pops thru the carb and exhaust. just like it was in reverse. i cleaned the carb, bought a new starter switch/reverse overideswitch. same problem.any answers?

 

did you check the tranny switch to see if its messing up? you mean its acting like its in reverse and no override pushed in?

 

I think I remember something about the older bikes having range sensor switch problems. Make sure that the light for reverse in not lit up when trying to drive in forward

 

thanks but no ,the light goes off when in drive.

 

Could be a bad CDI. Replacing one on mine, and I'll find out if that cured the problem. Sometimes, you had to have the reverse overide switch pushed in for it to go in forward without the backfire.

Temporary fix is to unhook the override wiring plug on the handle bars. You'll see two sets plugged into the on/off - headlight module. It's the one closest to you as you sit on the quad. Can't remember the colors, and being at work, can't look right now to tell you.

Leave it plugged in when you start it, then unplug it. If your's was doing the same thing mine is, it will stop it. Won't fix it, but at least you can ride.

 

And welcome to the forums shon912.

 

thanks for the reply,i checked the switch it was good. dug into it a little deaper ,found out it was the one wire to the coil!. it was loose just enough to idle but not enough to run hard .a 5 cent wire conection?? thanks again
