Can't speak to the diff lock but the FI motor is the cats azz.
Same here. I got so frustrated with the carb on my '02 rancher that I bought a 2010 rancher AT one day after cussing the carb trying to get it started again. I will NEVER own anything with a carburetor again, they're the spawn of the devil. I just wish Honda wasn't so slow to adopt innovations. They should have been using fuel injection 15 years before they did but they just rest on their laurels peddling old designs. I love their reliability but it's hard to stay loyal to them when they're 10 years after their rivals adopting new technology.
