This is the BEST video! I have never done any motorcycle repair. I have a 1985 Honda Rebel 250 that was left outside for 3 years. Watching this video, I removed the carburetor, took it apart, cleaned it and put it all back. Motorcycle started right up!! Thank you for posting this!!

You are a god to me!! I just saved myself at least $300 on a Carb rebuild,. Your video was so precise and informative that I completed the entire process AND my motorcycle actually started without any adjustments needed. Wow you should do more DIY repair videos. If your're not already a youtube star you will be!! My issue was I would be riding down the street comfortably, and out of nowhere, the throttle would actually stumble and quickly everything on the bike would just stop incuding the engine. If I sat and waited a few minutes it would start up again and just repeat the whole scenario over and over again. Well thanks to you, I discovered a VERY TINY piece of the tubing I'm guessing, stuck very close to one of the jets. Fast forward to bike reassembled and BAM, that was my issue. I can't thank you enough for this video. It is brilliant.

Hands down the BEST VIDEO for a complete cleaning of a Honda Rebel Carb. Awesome job and great tips! Thanks for making this.

working on one now, 198 miles on it. been sitting nearly 20 years

This is the best tutorial I've ever watched. I did the carb rebuild without an issue. No lame introductions, just straight to the point!

Used this video for a walk through on my '85 and it made it a breeze, thanks so much for sharing 👍

You did a great Job professionally completing it with now remaining parts always the key 😂👍

You did an absolutely amazing job, making this video. Thank you for walking us through everything, step-by-step. Next time someone asks me for advice on cleaning their carb, I'm sending them a link to this.

I following this video and its worked great and my bike it back to tip top shape thank you! To my fellow people who are also doing this: watch out for stripping screws and that rubber thing is literally the worst. If your bike is super old like mine that rubber thing will break but at least you can order the part online really easily.

My wife is the happiest lady in the world now that I got her rebel running. Thanks for the step by step it helped GREATLY.

Outstanding video. You don't waste words. I've rebuilt several carbs over the years, each is different, and these instructions for this carb are great.

I don’t even own a motorcycle but found this to be a great video. Now I want to go get an old Honda Rebel 250! Thanks!!

You are the best instructor I’ve ever listened to! Thank you for your time.

Just bought my first bike... A 2008 250 with 750 miles on her. She runs but stalls out if you touch the choke. I'm positive it's from old gas and gunk clogging the carb since it was barely ridden. Will be doing my first ever maintenance job with the help of your video later. Thank you for being detailed.

Videos like this are invaluable. Thanks so much for sharing!

Your video saved me. Bought this bike been sitting for over 2 years. watched the video at least 10 times during the process of getting the carb cleaned out and working. Thanks

My daughters account. Great video. Thank you! Took me 4hrs to complete the project, but saved me $500 at the Honda dealer. Very clear and concise instruction, I appreciate your expertise / video!

Want to let you know that I watched more then just this video before attempting the clean up on my carburetor. Yours was the best. It took me 2 hours to do the R&R and clean up. Motor started right up and it runs great. Thanks again for your top quality video.

Just bought a 2006 Rebel with only 1400 miles on it. Needs this work done to it. Hasn't been started and driven for over a year. Runs like crap. Thanks so much for this video. Will save me time and money. Great photography and narration.

Helped a friend with their bike that wasn't starting up - after following this video, it started right up. Thanks!

I just want to say that you have given me the confidence to do this job. Thank you.

Just wanted to say the video really was on the ball for easy to do info way better than others on here. Keep them coming. Thanks again.

Great video. The only little extra thing I do is to take the rubber diaphragms and coat them with a thin film of silicone grease (not petroleum grease) because it conditions the rubber and will keep the diaphragms from drying out over time.

Hi, just like to say this guide was super helpful and my bike fired up first time :) Many thanks and keep up the good work

Just wanted to say a big thank you, this video was instrumental in me trying my first carb rebuild on a 250 nighthawk!

The best carburetor cleaning tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for putting the rebuild part in, most helpful part of the whole video. Great job!

You have perfect timing on uploading this video for me. I like the wire brush trick... Thank You...

Excellent video on this job! I just finished cleaning the jets on an a Rebel and moving the carb back enough to clear the two mounting bolts on the engine was the worst part of the job. I even considered removing some of the front engine mount bolts to let the motor tilt slightly forward to get the clearance needed, but pushing the front lip of the groove in the air cleaner boot back into the air box gave me the room I needed. Finessing the lip of the boot back through the air box after the carb was installed was a little tricky, but much easier than trying to pry the carb far enough back with the boot in place.

I watched your video and I did it myself and I got my bike running. So thank you so much

Best little bike I ever owned.

Great helpful video sir . You explain everything so well . I need to do this on my rebel . It's been stored for years . I just bought it . I will use your video as a reference when I do the job . Best regards from the UK ...

great video really helped me with my honda rebel , thanks and keep them videos coming!!!!!!

My bike is bogging when i give it gas on any gear n sucks when ur in the turning lane. Doing this tomorrow to my rebel ,hope its all good by then pray for me 🤙🏽🍻💀 thanks for the video brother 🍻

Thanks very much. The little bits about spraying out certain holes and seeing the carb cleaner come out another spot was helpful. I pulled it apart only a year ago and still didn't learn to keep the petcock off and the carbed drained or ran dry. Hopefully this time will be different.

Thank you so much for walking us through step-by-step it helped me out a lot I never built motorcycle carburetors car carburetors I will try my best to do this now myself and I will let you know the outcome if it runs or not LOL

1000 Thumbs up for this video. I only wish you had shown the replacement sequence in the same detail as the removal - in case there were any tips or tricks to be gleaned from it. My wife's 2007 Rebel has 450 miles on it, but sat for quite some time. It is finicky to start, but one warmed up runs fine. I believe her idle is too low and more importantly, her throttle has a flat spot that cause the engine to stumble and sputter - even shut off. Not good when you trying to learn to ride! Based on this video I believe I can diagnose this issue (accelerator pump issue). THANKS!

Great video brother. You did a great job instructing versus just doing. Thx

Thank you, very well explained.👍👍👍👍

For anyone reading. Don't put carb cleaner on rubber gaskets or diaphragms. It deteriorates it

Excellent video sir, that was very informative. Thank you!

I have a 2009. Taking the carb out from the boot was a pain. I had to remove the air filter to pull the boot back. Then remove the metal bracket bc it is in the way of the carb on the way out. I wonder if it’s worth it to clean it or just straight up replace it. The nice part about the cleaning is you retain your OEM. Good video.

7:00 If your cir-clip cotterpin has about had it, you can make a new one out of a small paperclip. Just strip off the plastic coating around the paperclip if it has it on there (mine did) and the paper clip wire will be the right diameter. Insert it through the hole, and bend a little section into an S shape with the hole passing through the center of the S, and clip it off.

great how to video. doesn't miss any steps.

Thank you, great video and quite informative. Too bad the owners before me had Hercules hands and I broke the acceleration pin. Now I have to buy a new carburetor because the pin is stuck inside the old one.

Great video, really helped me a lot!! Thank you so much. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Very thorough I'm actually having g issues with accelerating might need to do another clean. This was helpful.

Great job. Just what I needed.

Awesome man you help me a lot

Great video.......But I am amazed how easily all those small screws came out! In my experience there is always always one that needs a massive effort to get undone!!

Great detail thanks!!

Thank you for an excellent video, it is a great help!!

Awesome Video, so educative. Thank you

Helped me a lot, thank you.

Thank you for the video, very informative.

Great vid! Super helpful

Awesome video. Helped me a lot. Thanks Bro.

Thanks from Texas. I enjoyed the video. May Jesus Christ bless you.

Nice! The only thing I do different is to use a piece of monofilament fishing line to clean the jets as wire can scar the soft brass.

Great video, thanks so much , master level , MK

very big help however my bolts are stripped on the housing of my carb so i am just goint to drop the 50-100 bones for a new one

the 2 bolts holding my carb on the engine are stripped beyond all repair and there's no space for any tools or drill bits edit: was able to pull them off with vice grips!

thank you so much great job

The best video for carb honda rebel thanks you so much/ i hope if you have video for change piston rebel 250

Great presentation.

Great thorough tutorial! Very well done. Thanks for sharing with us! Bravo!

thank you so much! very instructional

Does any body know of where to get a good carb rebuild kit for this. Need all diaphragms atleast jets would be a good to have if it came with it

At 20 minutes in You talk about the accelerator pump. The top part where the three screws go in. You spray carb cleaner through one hole and it comes out the square side Mine is still clogged what should I do Good video Wanted to point out there's no explanation in the beginning on how to get the choke cable out of the carburetor safely

Be careful with carb cleaner on the neoprene parts. It will make them swell, and will be very hard to re-fit them. I only spray the cleaner on the rag and wipe them. DO NOT soak them in carb cleaner.

Thank you sir! New subscriber here. Could you please make one on installing a fuel gauge? Which meter do you recommend and how to installed and check for accuracy? Thank you!

What year carb is this?

Mine had a black rubber o ring that fell out from somewhere around the jets or air mixture screw and I didn’t catch where so I’m screwed help please

Thankyou

Why does my bike die when I shake it or try and accelerate

Thank you. Very nice.

I damaged the little paper gasket that sets between the carb and the 'split' intake manifold when I removed it from the bike... it that little paper part so crucial that I can't make a new one from gasket material I can get from NAPA auto parts ? Just wondering - and thank you for the video - great way to learn about new carbs - Thanks

I’m doing this step by step but wanted to ask, when you said clean everything with water. did you also clean the item you dipped halfway the carb cleaner with water?

My dream is to have a mechanic like you! It was true that at the beginning of my work I had a little trouble because in my model (this is the first model Rebel 250 1985) there is a different attachment to the engine - there are no two screws but a round sleeve). Other work thanks to your advice is a pleasure of work. However, I have a question because in the kit (kit) in addition to jets, the gasket was a metal washer and a rubber ring smaller than 1/4 inch. When washing the carburetor I found the same (metal washer and rubber ring) at the bottom of the dish. Where do you think their place is in the carburetor ?? Regards, Mike.

TY!

Thank you. Great job!

How does the Fuel/Air mixture screw go in? I know there are a few things on it...washer, spring, etc...what order do they go in? You didn't take it out in your video...

I've followed your video twice already, and it is great! But, I can't get the bike to run. It'll turn on with starting fluid and then bog out. What else could it be? Bike has 1700 miles and it is an 02.

Very informative. What year is this Rebel?

Hi, I got a 2004 Honda Rebel 250 and it is not idling after few miles riding. I mean after few miles, when I try to shift gears, I idle the throttle and simultaneously squeeze the clutch, but engine won't idle. gears shifting in high rpm. and after I stop the bike and neutral the gears, rpm is still very high for about 10-15 minutes. Any idea what happening. Thanks in advance..

Does the idle or main jet have to be slightly unscrewed? someone told me not to tighten them completely?

Obviously a pro

How do I reattach the spring and cable on the choke cable?

Does that rebel have a tip over sensor? A drunk driver backed into my wifes bike and knocked it over. Stood it up no power no lights any information would help. I got it home going to start on it in the morning. Thanks much

I bought a 2001 CMX250C single carb Rebel. The carb was in pieces with several missing. I don't even have the screws to put the bowl or top back on. Do you know where I can buy a replacement carb for this bike that doesn't cost so much? I can only find one for $350. I can't afford that. Thanks, Matt

Superb.

Never put rubber parts in the bat or use carberator cleaner on them

RIP my eardrums in the first five seconds of the vid had headphones on and max vol
