Start squirting a few days before you actually disassemble, and if they are through-bolts hit both ends of them, it's best that way. The biggest issues I had were on the screws holding the various brackets to the carbs and the bowl screws nearest the head. Not sure what it was about those, but the

Since there are no diesel NHs I know this off-topic, but diesel is the cat's meow. It's certainly saved Europe's economic hide with gas prices as they are. It's an entirely different world driving in England; wonderful cars we never see here, including German Ford diesels that are fine machines. I'

Isn't the CB250 just a single carb? That would at least save the synching/rebalancing part of all that... not to mention fewer parts to buy! Gads, gaskets are expensive, $40 per carb... -Kurt On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 9:15 PM, James O'Gorman wrote: > Welcome. > That's a pretty specific question
