Honda CB250 Nighthawk - Removing and Servicing the Carburettor

[@AngelMoneraMartinez]

the thing in the bottom of the carb that you dont know its an accelerator pump. when you open throttle, a part that act on the butterfly will also push a lever that push a membrane under a spring that will push extra fuel into the carb to enrish when you are accelerating... its just a clever trick to enrich when accelerating. :)

[@marko1314]

Good to see some young people taking an interest in bike mechanics - Well done - BTW That 'mystery gizmo' on the side of the carb is indeed an Accelerator Pump.

[@TooManyProjects]

Lol, young person. It's my luscious head of hair.

[@nealchapman9239]

I like your videos Simon as you have similer bikes like me the Honda 250 and the Honda 200. keep up the good work regards Neal.

[@TooManyProjects]

Thanks Neal! Small engined FTW.

[@AdamBav3-vz9xu]

Hi thank you this was very helpful. What carb heater cable did you buy and where from? I understand it was from a quad bike. I was wondering what one. Thanks

[@TooManyProjects]

Oooh, it was a lucky guess really. I had another quick Google now and a 2004 Fourtrax TRX looks like the one I got. I have a feeling Honda might have only ever made one carb heater part. No promises.

[@AdamBav3-vz9xu]

Thank you !!

👍👍👍👍👍..........😜😜😜😜 U R sooooooooo lucky to have a wife helping you out for this long with Patience and Interest ......Wow ........... I havent come across too many couples likes this ....... Mine was the worst .... So , I let her go freeeeeeeeeee.............😃😃😃😃 now am the king of the road ........😜😜 Question Time : Cant we apply some Locktite glue/sealant to the Carby Gaskets .......... ????

[@TooManyProjects]

Thanks. I feel like any sort of Loctite/adhesive would make it even worse to remove in the future.

[@nickyairsoft]

Fun watch! Love the banter. Thanks for the info before my purchase. May i ask how much you bought the nighthawk for and how many kms it had on the clock?

[@TooManyProjects]

Thanks Nicky. It was quite cheap I guess. £6-700, something like that. I don't remember how many km, 10k miles or so I think.

[@PaulHolmes-ly7wm]

Hi, Fantastic series of videos and exactly what I am undertaking at the moment with an old CB250 that I have just got hold of. Any chance you could link to or tell me where you got the carburettor 'rebuild kit' from? I need to get one but can't find anywhere easily! Cheers!

[@TooManyProjects]

Thanks Paul. There's a chance I got it from WeMoto. But NRP Carbs are always my go to as a general rule. Call them if you can't find what you want on their website.

[@PaulHolmes-ly7wm]

@@TooManyProjects Great, thanks for the info, will check them out. Are you going to do any more CB250 videos, is it up and running well now?

[@TooManyProjects]

Once I get a bit more time in the garage I'm going to try and get the CD200 back together. They're really similar bikes, although 20 years between them.

[@TomBartram-b1c]

My woomun doesn't normally come near the mancave while I'm tinkering but the other day she wandered in just as I'd dropped a screw from the float chamber and I was seething. Wassup? She says. So I tell her and she nonchalantly picks up a tiny screw about 4 feet away and says This? By any chance? Wow. Amazing. Moral of the story: anyone with you on a job, even a burd, can be surprisingly useful. Anyhow, carbs worked fine for 80 years before carb heaters so who needs em? Cool watch. Thanks. 😂😂

[@crokusgaming1164]

Hello and thank you for this video, very helpful. I just came into ownership of this exact motorcycle. Could you tell me where you got your manual? Thanks!

[@TooManyProjects]

Hey. It's a Haynes manual. It actually covers the Rebel and another 250 too. All the same bike with minor changes.

[@rogerbeadle3485]

So I’ve pulled my Benly apart and was hoping you were going to tell me how to get it going again. You’ve moved on, probably because you have too many project. Am I going to have to go it alone?

[@TooManyProjects]

Haha. I'm working through a few issues with the Benly, but I promise it hasn't defeated me yet. If you look closely, you might even catch some parts in the background.

[@ceevenito1883]

Hi, when you acelerate does the trottle slide move?

[@TooManyProjects]

No, everything worked as it should there.

A carburettor is what feeds the petrol Through to the engine if you need any help I could help you with anything to do with bikes

[@alikaichandler8745]

Can you please tell me what rims and wheels those are?

[@TooManyProjects]

I don't know I'm afraid, they're just stock.

[@tombartram7384]

Those bikes had an overly complicated, expensive airfilter. The Superdreams were horrible but they at least had a washable filter.

[@TooManyProjects]

You're not wrong. It's like a whole mechanism just to clip it in.

[@steveandfamily7248]

Hi there where did you get the carb manifold gasket

[@TooManyProjects]

It was just a carb service kit off eBay. If you ever have any trouble finding carb spares though, I recommend calling NRP Carbs. They're very knowledgeable.

[@steveandfamily7248]

@@TooManyProjects thank you for the reply. I've been having trouble with my nighthawk. Will run fine but as soon as you ride it it won't go over 50 . It's a bit of a nightmare 😕

[@TooManyProjects]

@@steveandfamily7248 Does it idle ok? When we picked Claira's up, we had that problem. It was running on one cyclinder.

[@steveandfamily7248]

@@TooManyProjects yes idles fine but when you ride it it doesn't rev out and won't go over 50

[@chansiufai12321]

@@TooManyProjectsHi Simon, can you tell me what is the part no. for this rebuild kit? I also have a hornet 2004 which wont start, should need a carb clean & repair kit.
