no that is not normal. it should not take 8 miles with choke on to warm
up. what is the idle set at? not sure of a nh 250 idle rpm's but I think 1k
or higher? make sure the idle is set at the proper rpm? did you double up
the seafoam? what oil
normal for a 250 to need choke on for 8+ miles of riding with
choke?

Jim. This one definitely needs an
allen wrench type tool to remove the plug. It doesn't have a head on it,

Ok
I wouldn't do any adjustment to the carbs. I honestly believe its normal
Honda lean setup for maximum mpg's and just remember to use the choke first
couple of miles till its fully warmed up. unless your not concerned about
mpg's? then you can do as allen suggested and/or adjust the a/f screws out

That does seem strange that they would not use a 17mm hex bolt like every
other bike they made.

installing a uni air filter, hodge mod on the exhaust, richening the
pilots, washering the needles, and installing larger main jets. The bike
ran much better after the mods.

know that the bus sumps, and some car sumps, have a secondary drain at
the lowest point, to completely drain the oil dump prior to pulling it off
the engine. It's not used for oil changes, just total engine drains.

i would still try and leave the choke on when you leave and see if that
helps? it is starting to sound like carbs may need a cleaning. i would
double up the seafoam and keep riding it. give it another week of that and
let us know?

i think theres specific directions on seafoam if you want to go real
radical and pull the gas line. start the bike and fill with seafoam till it
dies and let her set over night. then drain the bowls and run as normal and
see what happens. but i just rather double the seafoam dose and ride.

i think thats when trying to start it. once started and its running you
can give it throttle with no problem and while riding. what i do is choke
it to start it then after warmed up turn choke off, put in gear then choke
it on again and ride. after a mile or 2 she should be plenty warm enough by
no need to worry about putting in to much seafoam. double up the dose in
the tank as she sets. and just ride as normal.

If a person wants theres no need to even wait for it to warm up if they so
desire. simply choke it, start and ride. i think the point was that maybe
the bike wasn't fully warmed up and to try and ride with choke on for a
mile to see if it helps? if it doesn't help then idle and or a/f screws
maybe

make sure throttle cables have slack! you should have a quarter inch of
play with handlebars straight so that when you turn them all the way left
or right the throttle doesnt pull on the carbs. try that before taking off
next time?

have to get it right at the
front/rear balance point which would change say if you removed a tire.
