2004 Honda Reflex 250 scooter carb install By kenwood (Read 3,537 times)

I mistakenly put this question in the General Discussion Forum.

Guy who owned this bike dis-assembled it to replace the belt & clean the carb, had a stroke, and never reassembled it. Now, two years later, he has sold it to me. The carb was already removed. I've cleaned the jets (all clogged up) and reassembled it, but now I need to plug in all of the air lines. The Honda shop manual doesn't address it any detail and the illustrated parts breakdown from Honda is no help. Does anyone out there know what goes where?

How many lines? Fuel feed line is one,,,then there's a bowl drain that goes on the spigot on the bottom for draining the bowl for service so you don't dump fuel all over the engine,,then there's a vent on top of the bowl area,,then either off the intake manifold there should be a line going to the auto fuel valve ,,,that should just about wrap it up I would think

[kenwood]

Thank you for responding! I've figured out the fuel inlet (It's bigger than the rest) the bowl drain (Pretty obvious), and the carburetor heater inlet and outlet running to the radiator and radiator cap.  There are three more that I don't know where they go.

    Air Shut Off Valve?

   The grey nipple on the left

   The copper nipple on the left

Thank you for any help.

When I get a chance, (within the next 3 or 4 days) I'll look them up for you... I should be
able to help; owning 5 scooters with that kind of engine... 4 Honda Reflex scooters and a
Big Ruckus.

Oh, just to clarify about the carb heater hoses, 1 hose comes to the carb from the top of the crankcase and the other goes from the carb to the radiator fill as you described. And it doesn't really matter which nipple you use for inlet or outlet from the carb heater... it is just a simple pass through block for the heated coolant to warm the body of the carb.

Thank you for your time!

Have you got a link for those videos? I went to youtube, entered "scooter trash" and there were a gazillion different videos from motorcycles to those little street "Razor" type scooters like they use at skate parks. Tried variations with "air hose routing" with no better results.

I'd like to have access to the videos for reference for myself and others that could use the help they provide.

Thanks.
