Good to see some young people taking an interest in bike mechanics - Well done - BTW That 'mystery gizmo' on the side of the carb is indeed an Accelerator Pump.
the thing in the bottom of the carb that you dont know its an accelerator pump. when you open throttle, a part that act on the butterfly will also push a lever that push a membrane under a spring that will push extra fuel into the carb to enrish when you are accelerating... its just a clever trick to enrich when accelerating. :)

Hi thank you this was very helpful. What carb heater cable did you buy and where from? I understand it was from a quad bike. I was wondering what one. Thanks
Oooh, it was a lucky guess really. I had another quick Google now and a 2004 Fourtrax TRX looks like the one I got. I have a feeling Honda might have only ever made one carb heater part. No promises.
Fun watch! Love the banter. Thanks for the info before my purchase. May i ask how much you bought the nighthawk for and how many kms it had on the clock?
Hi, Fantastic series of videos and exactly what I am undertaking at the moment with an old CB250 that I have just got hold of. Any chance you could link to or tell me where you got the carburettor 'rebuild kit' from? I need to get one but can't find anywhere easily! Cheers!
Thanks Paul. There's a chance I got it from WeMoto. But NRP Carbs are always my go to as a general rule. Call them if you can't find what you want on their website.
Once I get a bit more time in the garage I'm going to try and get the CD200 back together. They're really similar bikes, although 20 years between them.
My woomun doesn't normally come near the mancave while I'm tinkering but the other day she wandered in just as I'd dropped a screw from the float chamber and I was seething. Wassup? She says. So I tell her and she nonchalantly picks up a tiny screw about 4 feet away and says This? By any chance? Wow. Amazing. Moral of the story: anyone with you on a job, even a burd, can be surprisingly useful. Anyhow, carbs worked fine for 80 years before carb heaters so who needs em? Cool watch. Thanks. 😂😂
Hello and thank you for this video, very helpful. I just came into ownership of this exact motorcycle. Could you tell me where you got your manual? Thanks!
So I’ve pulled my Benly apart and was hoping you were going to tell me how to get it going again. You’ve moved on, probably because you have too many project. Am I going to have to go it alone?
Haha. I'm working through a few issues with the Benly, but I promise it hasn't defeated me yet. If you look closely, you might even catch some parts in the background.
It was just a carb service kit off eBay. If you ever have any trouble finding carb spares though, I recommend calling NRP Carbs. They're very knowledgeable.
@@TooManyProjects thank you for the reply. I've been having trouble with my nighthawk. Will run fine but as soon as you ride it it won't go over 50 . It's a bit of a nightmare 😕
@@TooManyProjectsHi Simon, can you tell me what is the part no. for this rebuild kit? I also have a hornet 2004 which wont start, should need a carb clean & repair kit.

Lol, young person. It's my luscious head of hair.

I like your videos Simon as you have similer bikes like me the Honda 250 and the Honda 200.
keep up the good work regards Neal.
Thanks Neal! Small engined FTW.

Thanks. I feel like any sort of Loctite/adhesive would make it even worse to remove in the future.

Thanks Nicky. It was quite cheap I guess. £6-700, something like that. I don't remember how many km, 10k miles or so I think.

Hello and thank you for this video, very helpful. I just came into ownership of this exact motorcycle. Could you tell me where you got your manual? Thanks!
Hey. It's a Haynes manual. It actually covers the Rebel and another 250 too. All the same bike with minor changes.
Can you please tell me what rims and wheels those are?
I don't know I'm afraid, they're just stock.

A carburettor is what feeds the petrol Through to the engine if you need any help I could help you with anything to do with bikes
Those bikes had an overly complicated, expensive airfilter. The Superdreams were horrible but they at least had a washable filter.
You're not wrong. It's like a whole mechanism just to clip it in.

@@steveandfamily7248 Does it idle ok? When we picked Claira's up, we had that problem. It was running on one cyclinder.
@@TooManyProjects yes idles fine but when you ride it it doesn't rev out and won't go over 50
