New 86 250R

[Trikefan72]

Hi, just picked this 86 250R up last night from the original owner. Runs good, but i think i need to clean the carb. Not sure about the front tire, seems to steer ¨heavy¨ so i think i will try to find another one. I also ordered a new decal set from Harlan Lysne. And olso, the mixture screw on the carb, how many turns out from all the way in?

Thats a pretty good looking R. With the carb, you should get yourself a manual. Dammit has a link on here for downloading one, you just need to throw him a little cash to help him host the site their on.

According to the Honda manual....the air screw should be 2 1/4 turns out.
I would start at 1 1/2 turns out, and adjust it from there to get a good idle and response off idle. Make sure your idle speed is about right before you start adjusting the air screw too much, because idle speed adjusts off the choke knob.

Definetly a new tire, that thing outta dig in the dirt with the amount of thread it has on there lol
Looks very nice overall, great choice!

i just cleaned the carb, there was water in it. I got the manual, it just didnt look in it before i asked:p . I changed the main jet and raised the needle so now it runs much better.
Here is a pic of my trikes.
