Product Overview

A Rubicon that needs choke constantly, will not idle cleanly, leaks from the bowl, or bogs when the throttle opens may have a worn or contaminated carburetor. Stale fuel, blocked tank venting, valve clearance, weak ignition, intake leaks, and low compression can create the same symptoms, so diagnosis still matters.

The carburetor meters fuel and air for the 500cc engine across starting, idle, transition, and load. Honda used different carburetor numbers and calibrations across TRX500 versions; match the old casting, cables, electrical connections, jetting needs, and printed reference before ordering.

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.

Model, production date, serial number, electrical or fuel-system version, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part and application information before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will a new carburetor fix problems caused by stale fuel? A: Only after contaminated fuel, varnished lines, and tank debris are removed. Old fuel can quickly contaminate the replacement.

Q: Does this fit every TRX500 model through 2006? A: No. This fitment is centered on the listed TRX500FA Rubicon applications and matching carburetor numbers.

Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.

Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
