  • Repairing the dual carburetors on my 1986 Honda Rebel CMX250. Something felt off with the engine when riding so I decided to investigate. Follow along as I diagnose the problem and restore life to one cylinder!
    Thankfully, I had some spare carb parts to help me out. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you can find carburetor rebuilt kits on eBay. After putting everything back together, the engine ran smoother and stronger than before. After all, it was now running with BOTH cylinders!
    Stay tuned for an upcoming video where I attempt to fix the throttle cable!
    If I can fix it, so can you!

    Always wondered if the duel carb mods I was seeing for my 87 rebel would give it a little more oomph. It's nice to see a video of somebody adjusting it!

    Thanks for disconnecting the spark plug wires to show the dead cylinder and then the show the success.

    I'd recommend anyone doing this to invest in JIS screwdrivers. They look like phillips and work in phillips screws but are a must have if you want the perfect fit and never want to round out a screw. I don't even use phillips anymore, only Japanese Industrial Standard bits. The next owner will thank you if you use the exact tool needed.

    That's the glory of working on older vehicles and especially older motorcycles.
    Though it would be nice to when you fix one thing not another one or three things go wrong, but where would be the fun in that?

    • @ificanfixitsocanyou
      @ificanfixitsocanyou  Před 2 lety +1

      Not sure! But I think that without it, too much fuel was entering the carb and preventing ignition. I was just thrilled that I had a spare part for it!

    so i have an 05 rebel single carb version. and i may need a new carb. i cant seem to find one anywhere at all. like they dont even exist at all. but i do see the dual carbs everywhere and they look the same too. i mean except you got 2 of them together. is it possible to take a dual carb and just take one off and use it or are they like fully put together?

    • @ificanfixitsocanyou
      @ificanfixitsocanyou  Před rokem +1

      That's a great question. I have been searching forums for people who have converted from dual to single, to see if they did what you are asking (just using one half). I think the carbs are different enough that it may not work properly. Many suggest checking ebay, Jack's Rebel Warehouse in Eustis, FL, or 4into1.com. You can probably email the last two and ask? Good luck!

    Hi, great video :) Do you know if the dual carbs and the original single carb, has interchangeable internal parts ? It would really help me out.

    • @ificanfixitsocanyou
      @ificanfixitsocanyou  Před rokem

      Hi Andreas! In my case, I believe each of the dual carbs were basically identical to the original single carb. Therefore, I was able to use a spare part from the original for my fix! I hope that's the same case for you!

    I have the same issue except I have no spark on one side and I checked the coils which both are good

    • @ificanfixitsocanyou
      @ificanfixitsocanyou  Před 2 lety +1

      I suggest some process of elimination. If you're not getting spark on one side, try swapping the plugs. If that doesn't work, try swapping the wires or coils. (the plug connector in the rubber boot on the wire might have disconnected). I hope you can fix it!

      Hi Logan! Can you be more descriptive? The carbs have rubber manifolds on both the intake and exhaust portion of the carb. And those are secured by hose clamps. Which part are you referring to with bolts?
