Honda Spada VT250 the story so far Ok guys now find my self with some time on my hands. (Well competed most of the big jobs the planning department has set) so time to start on those other jobs Wheeled out the spada into the middle of the shed and tried to start it. Has been sitting there for about 5 years with nothing but neglect ie a blanket over it and a ctec trickle charge to the battery (great piece of kit @ a $100 saves me $130 to buy a new battery when I get the urge to start her). Any way she starts after a couple of try’s (success) but sounds rough as an old lawn mower and won’t idel without the choke on (bummer) So Changed the fuel, fuel filter Striped out the air box and carbie cleaned the carbs No joy Pulled out the carbies emptied the bowels and gave them a bit of a blow out with the compressor Broke the fuel joiner in four places taking them out plastic piece of sxxt. Got a new on of these made up out of steel much better Putting the carbs back in I have now broken the choke cable screw in nut another plastic piece of sxxt which bring me to here. Any one know where I can get new parts for a spada grey import I have tried Honda before but the guys near me just sold me a load of parts that did not fit(misserie
Always use part numbers and not the bike model for grey imports .... many parts fit many models and dealers dont usually want to know about old bikes or grey imports Parts list here ... https://www.2fiftycc.com/index.php?resources/categories/vt250-spada.36/ And many online parts sites ... https://www.2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/online-sites-for-parts-and-accessories.3736/
Many thanks will look into the parts suppliers I have a workshop manual knocking around on a hard drive some where not that I’m against donating just It gives me some motorvatiom to find it. Been on this for two weeks now and saw some itchbum motorcycles utube videos on a parts cleaner and washer that looked cool and cheap anyone seen or tried these think he call them ultra sonic cleaner and somthing else I will see if I can post a link
Bit far for me to drop of even if it is a couple of beers you in Qld me in wa and I have this Sander the needs a new use( fxxk me I’m a hippy and u know reuse recycle) i have one of those beer heater I could put on the bottom to keep the heat in and I’m sure I have some insulation in the shed that needs to be reperposed My question would be what parts do I have to block off to stop the bad stuff from stuffing the goof stuff Eg vacume diaframe inlet outlet anything else I’m missing ?
You need to strip the caby's right down, anything screwed in/on etc Make sure you get all the rubber's out of it too
Just open up the discussion itchiban guy he is a little out there but Hay aren’t we all. Going to have a go at makeing His soda blaster and his parts Washer as I have all the stuff in the shed will let you know how it goes might even put up a few photos before and after. Mith busters 101 Any way on another note was successful have a new choke cable coming from a vic wreckers could not find one new from the above links thanks again to Greyimport. Wemoto had the other stuff and look to be a real good resource as I get into the rest of the build
