I currently have the last of my first-generation carbs promised to others. There's a seller on ebay that usually has some. Think he charges $225 each. Do you have a carb that just needs cleaning?

The '85 - '87 carbs will all work just fine. Although from what we've discussed in the past, those made in 1985 had a little larger jets.

Welcome to the forum. The first generation carb has different size jets and a larger slide and diaphragm than second generation. The first generation bikes had a little more horsepower than the second.

I have some first generation carbs that I rebuilt and are for resale.

Does first gen fit a 1983 cm250? Or could I replace it like you mentioned ? And do you still have re-built carbs and prices?

I still have some spare Rebel carb parts. Would have to see if I still have enough for a complete first generation carb. The CM250 carb is different in many ways from a Rebel carb. I suppose almost anything could be made to work with enough expertise and deep pockets, but not sure how or if the Rebel carb would fit on the CM250 engine. Maybe a CM250 owner will chime in.

I would think a refurbished CM250 carb would be the easiest option. CM250 carbureator for sale | eBay

That is out of my current budget.I'm trying to get some more cash coming in. Do you know what part #2 is in this exploded view? On the needle jet. I don't have that, and I CAN'T find ANY pic or description anywhere. I'm also missing the little washers or whatever above the fuel mix adj screw. Thanks.

Part #2, the needle jet set, looks like the needle, a threaded cap to hold it in place, an O-ring (not sure what it's for) and another unidentified part on top. It looks like the fuel mix screw set is similar to the Rebel's as there is the screw, spring, washer, and O-ring. You might be able to find the washer and O-ring sizes through an online search. A hobby/radio controlled model store may have the correct size washer and places that sell gaskets or O-rings the size needed.

I have close to 20 carbs here with me. Counted them just now. And indeed, as MadzBear says, the China stuff is straightforward rubbish. I dare to say, the original carburetor, in good working condition and with the correct jetting, is still the best way to go.

I'm interested. may not buy immediately but definitely in the market here soon

Hey there,
Newbie to the forum here. I noticed that there is mention of a 1st gen and 2nd gen carburetor. I picked up a 85 Rebel 250 and the previous owner told me the motor had been swapped with a 2006. Does this negatively affect having a 1st gen single carb? Should I actually have a 2nd gen double carb?

thank you very much for that information and spec sheet!

I still have two of them for sale. Fully refurbished for only €175,- Every time I offer, no one replies while demand is high. Strange... 🤨

Hi. I also am looking for a single carburetor for my 1985 Honda Rebel. Do you happen to have any more?

[Emil]

Welcome to the forum!
I think that some of the Stateside members may still have one or two, but beware of anyone that wants you to go to an offsite location. Especially, a 1st time poster with 'exactly what you need'.

 

[tango405]

Correct, I have two available at the moment, completely refurbished. Manifolds and cables as well.

Hi. Do you have any more 1985 Rebel single carbs?

 

[redeemer1972]
