Today's my wife's birthday, she's 30 today. This CB250 was her present, it was actually her own idea! Anyhow, we picked it up, thinking it was mechanically...
When I get the manual, I'll host it myself, and maybe we can just put up a link to it in the files area. If/when I run out of web space through Comcast, I'll...
Bryan, yes I got your other email from today. Yes, I did understand that you'd let me keep your manual. (generous fellow!) I meant that I'd scan it and post...
... The petcock valve may not be closing tightly, but the real culprit is the needle-and-seat in the float chamber which is not sealing. Probably a particle...
The petcock is not the problem. It is the needle and seat in your carburetor. Either something is between them, not allowing them to seal off completely, or...
... I will try it with a screwdriver handle, after pulling the plugs and cranking it over. ... That would be nice, we'll see how it turns out. ... Good...
Thanks for the tips, guys. Just to clarify something: Normally, the lack of vacuum would keep fuel from going through the carb into the combustion chamber &...
"...or your float has gone bad. I would try running it for a while before going into the carb. Using SeaFoam in the gas may help if it is just some gunk." ...
... Hey, before you do the rocking thing with the engine not running, I would advise not going above second gear. The higher gears will be hard to get out of...
OIL: 1) What type does Honda recommend? (Weight & viscosity) 2) How much does the CB250 take with filter change? OIL FILTER: 1) Where the heck IS it? I don't...
Best to use a full synthetic like Mobil1 15w50, takes about 1.75 qts It has no oil filter, it does have a filter screen inside the engine but don't mess with...
Okay, this sounds like me a few months ago, so I'll share what I was ... Seafoam is available at auto supply stores. It's light oil and naptha, and will clean...
If you're scanning it, I have more permanent webspace I can host it on if you'd like. Or I'll mirror it and we can provide the URL's to both incase one of us...

I'm sorry I forgot the main thing to tell you...Look in the "Links" section. It will lead you to, among other things, the bike bandit, where you can find a...
Hey fellas, I got a simple question, but I'm too simple to figure out. When I got my bike the choke was always pulled out or toward me. But standard running...
... I do it every time I shut off the motor. At the end of the day, in addition to turning off the fuel, I run the carburetor dry. Not only is there a chance...
... IMO, it isn't necessary to run it out of fuel unless you are parking it for the winter. Then, just use the drain screw on the float bowl which is better...
... Jon, how (chemically, molecularly) does Stabil work? When I start up the bikes in the spring, they seem to run fine, just like on regular gasoline, and...
When the knob is pushed all the way in to it's cable shroud, the choke (manual enrichment circuit) is "off" or closed. When you pull it out towards you, you...
How does the Nighthawk indicate neutral? Is there a continuity sensor kind of mechanism that would activate the green neutral light? My GZ is having problems...
Well, thanks everyone for all the great advice. I got home early today especially to work on this. I was amazed at the level of disassembly necessary to pull...
Excellent. Thanks fellas! I think I'm just going to use cheapo Honda organic 10W40 and change it every 3k or so. It has that screen that Serp mentioned,...

... $18??---Where did you come up with that figure? Mobil1 15w-50 is about $4.50 a qt and the bike doesn't even use a full 2 qts. Good oil is the single best...
