Miami Fla, Wincycles?
OEM direct Honda 250 carbs.
I'd rather get one from Jim.
129 direct replacement. 60 something for a bubbehead
they say it fits.
NO return called or emails yet.


Really NEED at least 2 or 3 carbs .
I am so old and beat up, ask fabio how much fun it is to change out
honda 250 sx carbs.
GOTTA have functional choke piston which is the main pain.

Any thoughts?

PS
sorry that I misposted trailer loads of honda plastics and parts.
a few months ago but things were getting frantic.
TONS of wildfires in the pacific northwest.

Happened to be right before our festival season.
We had 50,000 people here from all over the world so
I offered parts for shipping.

No one died, it's all over now.

Thank god.

I will take pix and post in the appropriate area.

2 trailers of honda trike parts.
Just pay shipping.

did I misplace again?

Miss youse guys.
Hope all is well.

It should fit but I would go with an oem carb preferably off of an 86 model es/sx. Glad to see you back...

Sorry, I've been a little busy lately. Those aftermarket carbs in my opinion are junk. A few guys have reported success with them but most have reported problems ranging from cables that don't fit to poor engine performance so those are not good replacements. I am out of carbs right now but if you have an OEM carb, I can probably rebuild it.

Glad I asked.
The ones I have did come apart with choke pistons intack.
Yeah, wincycles has what looks to be direct replacement carbs for the sx / es
and then another one with some sort of bubble cap on top.
Never seen an actual keihin type copy until last week but still no word from wincycles.

I also have a trx 250 card that looks quite similar but crusty.

Will keep you posted.
Took me a full week to get the sx carb off due to the choke plunger...hot, cold, heat
dry ice, connected but disassembled, carb clean and penetrant in all the
internal passages x 20+ times. but finally came apart and looks very rebuildable.

Thanks again.
Sky and sun are a wicked Yellow!
Love trikes with racks and air pressure fire extinguishers for sure.
All the trucks have either well water tanks for fire and a couple have dead water heaters
which hold water and air.
Easily shoot 50 feet.
I got to spray the fire marshall's windshield the other day from across the parking lot.

He would like everyone to have tanks...heck, most people throw them away so the price is right.
