  1. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    Hello! I am new to this forum and somewhat new to Hondas. I've owned a 1981 Honda CM400T in the past, but have recently picked up a 1983 CM250C to tinker with and teach my girlfriend how to ride on a bike that isn't 600+ lbs. I will start by saying, it was in rough shape when we got it, but very...
  2. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    I had my whole carb apart and soaking in cleaner for a few days due to a really rough idle. Got a gasket kit with new float needles and jets, figured might as well use them. I got it all cleaned and blew out, put it all back together, now the bike wont fire. I checked both the drains after the...

    Greetings, Friends Becky is alive! Mwuahaha.. but barely. She needs the choke pulled all the way just to get going. A cleaning of the carb is in my future. I was thinking of getting the 2.5 L sonic cleaner from Harbor Freight when I realized that I am not exactly sure what the procedure is for...

    First time doing a carb clean. Bought Chem-Dip and a carb rebuild kit. Took the carb out. Started taking it apart. Got to this point and in two/three turns I managed to mess up the middle 'valve' (not sure what it's called). There's not enough head on it now to turn it. Anyone have any bright...

    Newbie here, so go easy on me, I’m still learning! I have a 2009 Rebel 250 A few weeks ago she blew over during a storm and I immediately picked her up but was unsure how long she was down. She started riding rich after that but nothing I thought anything of being a newbie. Last weekend I had...

    Hi I just made an account and I bought a rebel 250 recently and by this point I have no idea what to do next to try and solve the problem but basically to make a story a bit shorter I am having a problem with my fuel/air where basically anytime I try to crank the throttle I can literally feel...
  7. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    I recently bought a 2009 Honda rebel I have a steady fuel leak. Everything is oem and as far as I know the carb has never been rebuilt or cleaned, from my research it is most likely a float valve issue. Turning the fuel off keeps it from leaking. Would a simple cleaning fix this issue or would I...
  8. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    I have a Honda Rebel 250, 2009 I can shift into gear, but when I accelerate it sputters and dies. I‘ve taken the carburetor out, took it apart, sonic cleaned it, carb sprayed it just to be sure, put it back in, and it still has the problem. I've changed spark plugs, that probably wasn’t...
  9. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    Hi everyone, so I am new to the whole motorcycle world and got a 1997 CMX250 for a great price. My uncle is really into bikes but still is asking me to do some research on where the hoses go onto the carb. Does anyone have a diagram or photo they could share with me to help out? Also the...

    Does anyone know where I can find a rebuild kit for my accelerator pump? I have tired looking around and can't keep anything.
  11. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    This may be a really stupid question but I disassembled my carb awhile back and just now got everything back into place (or what I assume is back into place). I was wondering if I had these right so far. On the first photo I was wondering what and if the black piece screws into anything. The...
  12. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    Hey guys, Sorry if this has been asked before but I looked and couldn't find anything. I'm new to motorcycles in general, but decided to fix up a 2009 Honda Rebel I bought years ago. It's sat for around 7 years. I cleaned the tank and the carb, they actually weren't too bad, because I had...

    Hey I have a 2008 Rebel and my carb is leaking fuel and I wanted to do a carb rebuild. I tried searching the web for some rebuild kits (gasket and float needle), but I cannot seem to find one for my year. Unfortunately, the rebuild kits that I'm finding are for rebels up to '06. Do you think...

  15. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    Picked up my first bike not too long ago and need some advice. Grabbed an 08 off craigslist with 190 miles on the clock and seemed to have been well taken care of during those years it sat. In a few months I've got her up to 8xx miles and she's been running great up until about a week ago when I...
  16. Engine, Carburetor, Fuel System & Exhaust
    The engine idles and runs well. However, if I turn the throttle about 1/8 of a turn and hold it there, the engine revs up a little then as I'm turning it then dies at the same spot every time. I can turn the throttle past and the engine will continue to rev all the way up but there is no fuel...

    So I have a similar situation to this one: http://www.hondarebelforum.com/f76/removing-carb-from-bike-12720.html except I got the rubber boot off the back, no problem. Nothing is connected to the carb at all except...I think it's sealed to the engine. Or actually to the flange that connects it...

    Does anyone have any info about what size the mounting screws for the float bowl on a 2002 Rebel are?
  19. Newbie Lounge
    So I just bought an '87 Rebel last week. First bike, new rider (passed the safety class woohoo!) and I know NOTHING about bikes. Go me. Initially the bike was spewing fuel from the overflow something or other, but seemed to run alright. First step, "we" (henceforth meaning me reading the...
