Thank you.
It's all coming back to me, SLOWLY!
I remember my Honda CB650 Nighthawk had this problem with "air-filter".
The truth is that it's the CALIBRATED air inlet, not the air-filter...:dancing:

If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Im gonna take back what I said about the air filter/cover. It seems the others were right, because now that my carbs are clean having the cover off the airbox makes a HUGE difference with how the bike runs. It wouldn't idle for me without the cover on. Sorry for misleading.

Zwaylo, Do you need an owners manual for that?
Kind of lost track of this thread with all the moving around and such I suppose.
Anyhow, for pitty's sake take BassCliff's advice if you haven't already and COMPLETELY STRIP AND CLEAN EVERYTHING in your carburetors. The bike has been standing for a while and there is only one way you can avoid having spotlessly clean carbs, that's to have a bike that doesn't run as it should and you'll always be fiddling with it.
As you know, I have one of these machines and used exactly the same procedure on the carb pair as I did with the rack on my 1100. They're smaller but the same type. O-rings from Robert Barr will work, just use the standard CV set and keep the spares.
Good luck!

Hey everyone,
It has been a long time since I have been on here so I figured I would give an update. I got the bike running perfectly now, it turns out that the carbs just needed re-jetted. I have put about a hundred miles on it since. My goal is to make this my secondary bike next season in order to keep the miles down, since it is currently has only 3850 miles. I am amazed at how much fun it is to ride for being only a 250. I'll post some higher quality, current pictures this weekend. Thanks, Matt
