Oh sweet Jesus! I may have hooked fuel line up to a vent. Will get back to you thanks for the pic!!!

If you can blow through the fuel inlet and it comes out the float valve seat, there is no blockage. As SoakedKarma stated earlier, that hole is just a vent, and does serve a purpose. If you connected the fuel line to the upper tube, that would cause fuel to come out of that hole. The correct location to attach the fuel line is the lower tube.

Yes u guys hit the nail on the head! I had fuel line connected to wrong port. Works and runs great now. Just 2 las issues- I have a vent/ drain tube “T” without a connection. Coming off that same one is this long tube. I convince myself when diving in-“no need to label this stuff you will remember where it goes”. Wish I’d not do that! Any ideas where the line goes and where the empty port on the t belongs?
lots of hose on that line. And the tank is already vented. I shouldn’t connect the t and line together as that would simply form a loop onto itself.

Good pictorial of the carb hoses here: My workshop-garage - Honda Rebel carb teardown and rebuild - jayshah (smugmug.com)

Great photo. Where does the engine breather hose attach on the top end?

Where can i get a new carb spring for my 86 rebel 250, i think the guy i got my rebel from made the one thats in it because it looks like garbage

Welcome to the forum. There are several springs in the carb. Which model do you have, CMX250C A or CMX250C AC (California model)? Diagram of 1986 CMX250C A carb: Honda Motorcycle 1986 OEM Parts Diagram for CARBURETOR | Partzilla.com

Thanks for having me here, its a A , i know normally how but it is unavailable everwhere i look.

While there are a half dozen springs on Rebel carbs I'll assume you are speaking of #12 compression coil spring.

2nd generation 96-2016 carbs are nearly identical though the vacuum piston is a millimeter larger in diameter than 1st gen vacuum piston.

While I can't say the springs are the same as their part numbers are different it would be worth while imo to use 2nd gen spring as a replacement.

Im gonna cruize the ebay and see what i can locate for a similar spring

This is the homemade looking one.
