FINALLY got a 250r deal of the CENTURY (HUGE pics)(LONG post)

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

I doubt if it's the same one but it might be it was sold at lowdermans auction in macomb,il thats over two hours away from springfield it's possible I guess.

[200XMichigan]

Probably not, who would be asking $1900 and then sell it at auction for $500. Just so you know I went up 2 sizes on my jets for winter and now it starts great.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

well I don't have any jets for it I'm going to try to take it apart today and clean it just so I know it's clean and I'll change the fuel out. we'll see how far I get I've never take on of these carbs apart before.

[200XMichigan]

Pretty simple, if you have taken apart any motorcycle or ATV carbs they are all pretty similar. If you have a good aftermarket sled or motorcycle shop you should be able to bring in your jets while they are out, they can sell you a couple larger sizes. Jets only run a couple bucks each.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

the nearest ones an about an hour away so It will be awile before I'm ion town.

I can provide close-ups of whatever areas you need to see OEM parts/locations for

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

sweet I was wondering what the tail light and head light assemblys looked like also the parking brake and front brake. Thanks

[Brockey]

Really good deal. Shes a keeper. I would just pop the head off and see what size piston she is on and what shape its in just for kicks. Then again that cost me a pile for what I found on my 81R.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

I just got done cleaning the carb it had some crap in the bottom of the bowl it must have been sitting a while. I forgot to pull the plug to see if it's any good. It's 30 out now I tryed kicking it over for a while and it still wouldn't fire so I'll check tomorrow about the plug but if that ain't it I'll have to call in the calvary. On a better note I now know it has carbon fiber reeds.

Are you getting a spark? Pull the spark plug put it in the boot, holding the boot, ground the end of the electrode to a cylinder head nut and crank the kickstarter with the other hand. You should see a spark arcing from the nut to the spark plug. Make sure you are holding on to the rubber part of the boot or it will shock you.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

Thats what I said I was going to check I'm to exited to wait till morning I'll do it after I eat dinner I worked strait through it earlier. this is an addiction i'm telling you

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

ok just pulled the spark plug it is a ngk R BPR4ES from what I've seen thats not the right plug its supposed to have a BR8ES. What does this mean as I know nothing about this engines history or the person who owned it. If it has a big bore kit on it does it use that spark plug? Maybe the guy just threw it in there for the heck of it I don't know.

[ebecme01]

not sure what you are looking for on the parking brake. its the same as a 83-85 200X. all of the brake components are the same as the 200X except the lines I think

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

sweet thanks hey do you know if the grab bar is the same as a 200x

[ebecme01]

Im not sure. I can go look though. they aren't the same. the 250R grab bar doesnt have the round collars at the mounting holes, its just flat
