whats wrong with the crank that you need a new one? Id send it to falicon for repair/refurb before Id be buying chinky rotating assemblies.  As for hating...
Re: Engine Rebuild About the cylinder. You have to use the CN 250 that they call Vertical cyl (same as CH 1985-1988). The CH horizontal cyl. they refer to, is...
This talk about engines reminded me that I promised to tell a contact made through this group when I had determined the asking price for a 1985 CH250 engine....
The previous owner of the bad engine thought it wouldn't start because it had water in the tank. Well, let me say, it had no water anywhere in the system....
Did some preliminary tests today to try and isolate the electrical problem. After riding for 10 miles the battery went dead. Runs fine if i jump it, so...
I brought a damaged wheel to a local guy. He just looked at me and laughed. Fortunately you can buy the outter rim from honda. Otherwise small bends... use a...
I´m going thru the same problem, I think it was 3 cables and it´s plug on my right side that went dry (after 20 years) and was breaking making 2 cables...
Did some more testing on the charging system. I disconnected the regulator and I got around 18v to the headlight, front signals. I also tested with the black...
Ooops. With the regulator disconnected, the rectifier was also disconnected. that resulted in a no control of alternator voltage and is free to rise way above...
I just reviewed what was happening with your electrical problems. Unregulated voltage from the stator is 18.2 volts. You will never get 24 volts unregulated....
I seem to have isolated my electrical problem down to two main faults. First was a bad regulator. Second, the red wire going to the main fuse looked in pretty...
I am new and I am not really a mechanic, in fact, I admire mechanics cuz this stuff is so dang hard. I have an 87 As I understand it, we have a little vacuum...
Your diagnosis is incorrect. As long as you have your thumb on the starter button and the engine is turning over, it is producing vacuum which will allow fuel...
I got this advice from somone and wanted your thoughts. My petcock may need replacing, and this is my 2nd one. I was thinking of a manual petcock and this...
Your diagnosis is not correct. Continued cranking ( 10 seconds ) will create enough vacuum to fill the carb if the vacuum system is not breached with a leak...
The vacuum petcock is located in a hard to reach place. If you install a manual petcock in its place, how will you reach it to turn it on and off? The petcock...
I'm not talking about removing the petcock, merely replacing it with a manual vrs automatic option. Im asking in theory, would it work if placed in a spot that...
Yes it will work. I replaced a malfunctioning original manual petcock on an old motorcycle with a generic 'fuel valve' found at an auto parts store, and...
... OKAY... I am getting seafoam today.. Pete you sound like the man I need to talk to... wish TACOMA was a suburb of phoenix :o) Can or Should you put a...
Hose clamp on vacuum line is required in some instances such as the carb mountings, but smaller hoses anywhere will benefit from not vibrating and fall off....
The problem with putting a manual petcock on one of these bikes is the fact that it's located underneath a body part. in order to maually turn off fuel flow...
