Morning everyone, this is my first post on here and wanted to see if I can get some help with my 1985 Honda 250R ATC.
Within the last several months I did a fresh top end on it, along with a rebuild of the water pump. I did a rebuilt of the water pump due to the mechanical seal leaking. I have ran a full tank of gas in it (32:1) and have found it is running way too rich and adjusted the carb and float. Got it running very good for 10-15 min and then it started to run too rich again. It sat for several days and I noticed several drops of oil dripping out of the carb overflow hose. I took the carb off and there was alot of oil inside. I cleaned it out really well and started it up and it ran great for about an hour with no problems at all. It then suddenly bogged out on me and I realized it needed gas. After I put a gallon of gas in it will not start. I also noticed it used ALL of the coolant that was in the radiator after riding for an hour! After I discovered this I took the cylinder off and inspected the wall and piston, everything is in great shape just like when I put it back together with no damage. Current compression is 158 psi. I am getting spark when tested. I am running the 86 flat carb, not the 85 carb. This is the first time this trike hasn't started for me since Ive owned it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Rick
