I'm doing well, thank you.

 

Pretty sure the site that hosted the pics either folded or started charging for what used to be free. Either way, they ae gone. Might be a YouTube video, but haven't checked.

BigJ founded this forum but hasn't visited in many years.

 

Oh wow ok well I'll check YouTube for a video. Hope you are feeling a bit better after the accident.

 

Before you start, follow the instruction in the link below to remove the seats and then the gas tank.

Honda rebel 250 - gas tank removal

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

With the seats and tank removed you are ready to start the carb removal process.

First, if your bike has the chrome carb cover, you will need to remove it by removing the 2 phillips screw on the front of it. See below. (If not you may skip this step)

Next you will need to loosen the 10mm nuts on the idle and the throttle cables. See below.

Next remove the idle and throttle cable from the cable guide. See below.

Next you can lay the thrittle and idle cables along the fram to keep them out of the way. See below.

Next move around to the other side of the bike and remove the choke cable from the carb. See below.

Next loosen the phillips screw on the hose clamps on the front and rear of the carb. See below.

With these steps taken you can guide the carb out of the bike.

To reinstall the carb, reverse the steps.

Thank you for posting this! I am about to go try mine today. I can't see the pictures though, it might be because I'm using my phone.

 

No disagreement. He had suffered a mild stroke some time ago, and was recovering, but then just dropped off the radar. It doesn't sound good.

 

Strange how you can have feelings for people out here in virtual reality. The way they express themselves, the concern they show. Sending love out to the brother.

Thanks.

 

Some Honda dealers have these available on their website. This is the one I use.

Shame, he was a real resource. Hope all is OK.

 

Swamprabbit, that first link was incredibly useful. I wish i could have found something like that when I took my carb off and apart a couple days ago. I just ended up learning everything the hard way.

 

Hey Hugo. Not sure about the first generation but on the newer rebels (90's+) you don't have to. I've seen people say taking the gas tank off makes it easy but after just having mine off I can say it wouldn't have made a difference.

 

hi guys, do u need to take seat and tank off to take the carburator off?

 

Both of these should help you out.

good you got it done, good luck with reasembly, hope it goes easily for you

 

I've done it!
I tried to clean it as best I could
Thanks to all, I install it tomorrow.

 

It's not necessary to reglue it. Silicon will make a mess.

 

Excellent, in this case is even better

Thanks mojorisn
Now I try to remove it, I will update you on the outcome.

 

You don't really need to re-glue it. It seals good when it's properly seated in the air box.

 

Ah ok, so the glue is to remove. To reattach it can I use the silicone?

 

I'm pretty sure the "glue" is just a step the factory uses during assembly. I have never "re-glued" the boot, and have never had an issue. As was already mentioned, the boots fits quite snug/well without any glue.

 

The glue is fairly easy to break loose by hand. Just push the rubber boot in from the sides to break the glue loose then push the whole boot inside the air box. You will need to remove the air filter from inside the air box first.

 

Hi, I'm trying to remove the carb from my Rebel 125 of '97, I've read all the topic but I still have some problems to understand few technical terms (I'm italian ).

I'm in this situation:

If I've understand exactly I need to push that piece (attached image) of rubber in the air tank, right?

But that piece is attached at the air tank with the glue, for do that I think is need to push it with much force, I'm afraid that might break.
Can I go quietly?

 

That's the tank vent abd the carb drain vent. They let air into the tank and the drain line so gas can flow. If their want a vent the gas in the tank wouldn't come out at a rate that would run the bike.

To remove that carb. Open the air box. Remove the boot clamp on the air box side of the carb. Reach in the air box and pull the boot into the carb. It has a lip on the boot. Push the boot off the lip while pulling it into the air box. Once off that lip it'll move easily into the air box.

 

You have to remove that bracket. It shouldn't be that hard, if something is in the way move it or use a different tool, which ever works. The hoses you're talking about are vent hoses and have to exit to the atmosphere in order for everything to flow right.

 

*sighs* I'm tired of this. I took it apart again and got to the same point that I got stuck yesterday. I was trying to push the rubber boot back into the chamber but couldn't quite get it there. The bracket that the side covers is perventing me from pushing the carburator which also pushed the rubber boot towards the chamber. I was pushing the carburator becasue I don't have any angles with which I can use to put a good amount of pressure on the rubber boot to push it.

The bracket that the side covers bolt to has two nuts on the right side. one on top and one on bottom. I can get to the top one but haven't because I also need to get to the bottom one which is blocked by a bunch of stuff attached to the right of the batterty. how can I get to that bolt?

Also I noticed something intresting; There's a rubber hose that connects to the bottom of my tank. I followed the hose because I was curious. It just leads to the ground. What's the point in this? Is it just ment to leak gas while you're riding? This is one of two hoses that lead to nowhere.

The other is a little more complicated; It wraps around the Carburartor and leads to the ground. tracing it back it connects to one hose that forks off twice and all connect to the carburator. the starting point is a closed off end of hose at the bottom of the motorcycle.

What's the point in both of these? and also how do I get that second nut off?

 

WD40 will provide some lubrication, and not damage the rubber boot.

 

It's very stiff but if you push in around the perimeter of the tube in one little place at a time you can release the groove from the airbox and then shove the whole tube into the box out of the way.

 

What I did was after removing the air filter I put my hand in the chamber and squeezed the hose until I could get my fingers around the hose while keeping my hands in the chamber box. I could get the lip to get inside the chamber but couldn't force it anymore. Now I gotta get ready for work but I'll try to finish the job tormorrow.

 

Push the grooved edge of the hose inward to disengage it from the airbox a little at a time, then push the hose back into the airbox. It takes strong fingers but is doable.

 

Force the whole hose into the air box.

 

So I removed the air filter and tried to pust the giant hose that connects the carb to the air box. but the hose still doesn't have anymore give than it had before. Am I suppose to just force it?
