Did the carbs on my 1987 cbr250r today. Way more headache than anything Honda from the 70’s.<\/p>\n

1) Get all the plastic shit off<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

2) Get the carbs out. Man that shit looks different, Never seen carbs under the tank before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

3) New OEM air filter. That old one was seriously black as shit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

4) In-line fuel filter had a ton of rust in it. Fuck… So, I took the tank and washed it out with Muriatic Acid. That was a whole job in itself. Then I cleaned the petcock. Tank should be good now. New in-line fuel filter just in case.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

5) Get those fuckers dialed in. Basically the exact same as my cb650 carbs… just a little different (and CV slide, not Mechanical slide).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

6) All back together now. Took me about 12 hours total including cleaning the tank. Shit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

So, \u00a0when I got it all back together, at first, it was running a bit “boggy” on the main jet, or 3\/4 to full throttle. I dunno what the issue is \/ was. I’m anal about doing carbs so I’m positive everything is together correctly. I thought maybe there was a little water left in the tank when I topped it off with fuel, so I bought some “gas treatment”, and increased the octane. After an hour of riding it, Its all good now, running solid and smooth. Revs to 18 grand furiously. Maybe it was a little water left in my tank, and thats all it was? Not 100% sure.<\/p>\n

Anyway, what a pain in the ass doing carbs on a fuckin crotch-rocket. I miss my 70’s Hondas back in Philly. I’m flushing the coolant tomorrow. That “should” be a quick job. And don’t even get me started on changing the spark plugs… I had to drop the radiator to do them. Shit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
