- Its been a long wait but I've cleared my feet and I'm back in the game bringing the CR250R back to life. In this weeks long awaited episode I'm dealing with the job of letting the engine breathe properly so carb and exhaust is the name of the game. But first.....

So first up was to grab the Carb from the shelf and tear it down to component form, to my amazement the internals were nowhere near as dirty as i would have imagined but life's full of little surprises isn't it?
After it was all taken apart i gave the main body a quick clean in the parts washer so as not to contaminate my ultrasonic cleaner too much, once cleaned the main body joined the rest of the parts in the sonic cleaner for 20mins at 60 degrees Celsius.
while the carb was cleaning i made a start of tearing the airbox apart to get it looking tip top again this included the tedious process of drilling out all the rivets and de-rusting all of the steel parts before re-plating everything to look OEM again.
By this time the carb was all done in the ultrasonic bath and could be removed,dried off and re-assembled which was pretty much the exact opposite of the teardown and then it was onto the exhaust side of things.
so again this was a pretty simple job that ended up delaying me but I'll get to that in a moment. I first took the expansion chamber outside and filled it full of engine cleaner to dissolve all the oil and carbon inside and gave it a good scrub too. while that was doing its thing i stripped down the silencer, muffler for my American viewers ;) so that i could clean it up and re-pack it so the bike will sound exactly as Honda intended. So the casing was vapor blasted and clear coated to protect from staining and the expansion chamber now clean and rubbed down was coated with VHT ( very high temp ) matte black paint as per the original and then i went to grab the wool for re-packing the can and I realized i had ordered nowhere near enough to pack the muffler so that will be done next episode along with a multitude of other jobs.
Until next time stay safe,
Enjoy
RRC

I can’t even believe ! I was trying to install my engine back in with the bearing caps on ! The INSIDE ‼️ IM SO GRATEFUL YOU TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE THIS SERIES. THANK YOU SIR
It's a good day when RRC Restoration has fresh upload, spot on work as always mate👍👍
Thank you so much :)
Your care to restore and the safety precautions you take are spot on........still waiting on the tour of your shop of many rooms and equipment once promised
Thank you so much, Not to worry i'll get around to the tour and plating guide at some point haha ;)
What a great episode! I disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt my brother's 2007 Kawasaki ZXR1200 carbs two summer's ago in exchange for him letting me borrow it for a few weeks while I was in between motorcycles...... Everyone should pull apart a carb at least once in their life to get some hand's on experience with that "old" tech!
I love carbs, especially old motorcycle carbs that doesn't employ any vaccum driven venturi slider. Just plain old cable-actuated variable venturi
I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰
Makes my Sunday morning....here in Santa Fe...
Nice, I hope it makes for a good start to the day :)
Camera shots are quality in your videos real pleasure to watch. I learn and enjoy..
The fact that there's two different sized bolts on the same part (expansion chamber) really grinds my gears :D Great work, the big will look as good as new!
Haha I know its so annoying its like the design engineer in the 80's thought " you know what would be funny" haha
it's easy to forget how complicated a carburettor actually is till you tear a big Keihin down again.
great upload again my friend, keep them coming
I had a heck of a time rebuilding the 4 carburetors for my 1986 ZX600 Ninja. The Phillips screws were stripping so I went and replaced them all with socket caps for future proofing.
No matter how many times I see the re-plating process I always go oooo that’s great, superb work as usual 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you :)
I missed out on your videos 😢 loved this restoration!
From India❤
The most work done
Excellent
Once again, much appreciation for all the work you put into the shooting and editing of these videos, it really lifts your channel above the rest. It may be baffling to some why you do this, as it is clearly exhausting work, but the results silence the critics. 👍🇦🇺
Arf arf.....
your brown work coat just makes me think of Ronnie Barker in Open All hours yes I'm old
Haha I love Open All Hours, Could watch it over and over proper old school comedy :) G G G Granville fetch a cloth! lol
Woww i like it 🖤, IM from Indonesian
Don't sweat it RRC, the jobs a good 'un!
It's a pleasure to watch you work! Great Job as always!👍🏼
Thank you :)
It is so satisfying to watch your work in Details. Calming me down the love to craftsmanship
So satisfying.
Glad you liked it :)
@@RRCRestoration Just top-class work, hard to see how it could be bettered. I don't know if you take any of your machines to shows, but I can easily see you taking an award or three home. All the best.
Thank you!
Going the extra mile! The exhaust expansion pipe didn’t need painting, but it got fresh paint anyway.
Yup, I could've left it as it was but where its located i though hmm its better to give it a coat just now that having to clean it up again later , the devil is in the details ;)
Y yo que pensaba que la restauración de una CR sería algo rápido y sencillo.....madre mía.
Enhorabuena es hipnótico...qué gusto por el más mínimo detalle y el trabajo pulcro e impecable.
I can't wait for the end of this repair work, because I really like your very thorough and neat work~malaysia boy
Allways a joy!
Can't wait to see the entire bike back in one piece, thank you for your work
You are so relaxing to watch I forgive you for not uploading a second surprise episode.
Another spectacular job! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
It's really coming on now.. Great job..
great great contents !! hope to see video on how you restored the front brake and tuning the engine
I can't even put into words your level of craftsmanship and knowledge where did you begin to learn all these tasks? I'm really starting to believe that you are immortal, just by thinking about all the time it would take to learn this stuff there's no way you're not somewhere around seven hundred years old
I really enjoyed. Thank you
Another great job done, 👍👏 always look forward to these episodes,
Thank you, Glad you like them :)
motogp, TT and RRC all on the same day! Nice vice!
Ah you're a man of culture too I see :) , The TT is fantastic so glad its back this year :)
Hey RRC, vid is a great watch as always, you have inspired me to undertake a small project of my own on an old mountain bike! cheers for the great vids
I hopped the exhaust was a bit dinged up so I could -steal- observe your method for pulling up the dents. Great video as always :)
I could litterally watch you work your pure magic all day. Another brilliant upload, very much enjoyed. And that carb came back looking like brand new, quite a nice win there :)
Awesome work, as usual !! Can't wait to see this beauty up and running !
Same here, cant wait to hear it running again, although it should sound a lot better this time around ;)
That carry cleaned up beautifully, awesome work as always!
I take by the comment you made that I'm not the only person who was excited about the treatment the can got? 🤣
Great video cheers dude!
Consistently great work, and I'm always excited to see another episode! Couldn't believe the junk that came out of the expansion pipe. Man, that was thick!
Can’t wait to hear this thing run
Same here, wont be long now ;)
Perfect as always!
Como sempre, um trabalho impecável, um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
excelent work !! that carb is deceptively simple
30 minutes of pure bliss!
Thank you :)
Top of the line !
Amazing, I would love to restore a bike like this one day myself!
I look forward to seeing your videos so much. 👍👍💚💙🌞
Beautiful.
just perfect
Just plain awsome
Thank you :)
How carbs work:
Stuff in > black magic > stuff out
Can’t wait till you restore a zxr250!
😅
Fantastic quality workmanship as usual 👍
beautifully done - always a pleasure to watch you work 😉
Thank you :)
Again, the attention to detail is ace. 👍
Thank you so much :)
one thing i change on old carbs is the brass seat for needle in the slide. had a couple run rich from wear....
Ah i'll need to keep an eye on that but from what i saw on mine there was little to now wear so fingers crossed ill be ok.
Perfect!!!!
Camera work 10/10
Working method 11/10
How did you menage to buy all those equipment in suxh a short period of time?
You have everything
Waterblaster
Sandblaster
Ultrasonic cleaner
Great tool cabinet
Damn man this is soooo perfect to watch it's like a therapy for me.
And best of all you only say what needs to be said and rest you write it with captions.
Keep up the good work and massive respect
A mate of mine sprayed a load of that Mr. Muscle oven cleaner in one of them vari pitch turbos this one time and it freed it all up...
🇬🇧😐
So cool video👍
Always pleasure to watch your videos!
Great stuff: excellent skills and droll humour make all your videos relaxing and very watchable. Nice one.
Thank you so much, I try my best to make them as entertaining as my dour Scots personality will allow haha
best thing about 2 strokes carbs dont varnish up as much as 4 strokes after not being used for a while.
Masterful work as always! Thank you!
I was amazed how clean the inside of that float bowl was. But when I think about it i'll bet they ran pre-mix in it. And pre-mix here in the states is almost all ethanol-free. At least that I have found on the shelves. thankfully more stations in the area are starting to offer non-ethanol fuel. I use it in all my small engines especially my old ATV's.
Like your work! Fan Sweden 🇸🇪
Excellent video, as always, thank you. Probably a silly question, but I'm curious, What solution are you using in the ultra-sonic cleaner and does it work well?
Dont know why he wont tell…
Another great video and I can't wait to see the final product !
Thank you, You wont have much longer to wait ;)
23:14 reminds me of those earwax removal videos 😅
you have amazing skills!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job as always! Every time enjoying restoration process:)
get some wipers for your vapor blaster please
It's a beauty! 👌
thanks for sharing mate i am loving this series!
Nice work as always you must be exhausted now... looks great as always
Another fantastic upload. Coming on lovely.
Thank you! Cheers!
The RRCR CR…😉
Would love to see a video walk through of your paint booth setup, I am very curious to see how you have it vented, and how you control it. I know you use it for more then just painting.
Always look forward to your vids. Amazing work!👍
Not ordering enough of something is a big mood, if I had a dime for every time I did that I'd already have a good change jar going
Honestly I felt so deflated when I opened the box and that measly bit of packing was there I just thought to myself " you idiot " lol
Marvelous.
Another masterpiece. Can't wait for the next
Working on the next one as we speak ;)
A next very good Job Love it is amazing Restauration and a perfect Video ❤️🌹👍
Thank you so much :)
Nice Meatgrinder
Wow the gunk in that end can and carb sure previous owner never jetwashed it down lol
From @23:00 it's like one of them East Asian earwax-cleaning channels
Haha you're so right! :)
Quality build as always
Thank you :)
Would like to see some content on hazardous waste management!
Really, I didn't think there would be much demand for that sort of thing but I'll try and incorporate some more stuff like that for insight into how its done ;)
@@RRCRestoration I am a safety professional in California. Plating shops can be a problem in terms of the waste and impact to environment. Also keep a spill kit handy like for the muffler spill in this video. Wastes should be in labeled containers and for the small quantity you have on hand you may have access to a haz waste community drop off program.
Mate, that vapor blaster.....
Hello a great video perfect job 👍👍👍greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋👋👋 Kai 🙏🛠
Thanks Kai, really glad you enjoyed it. Always nice to hear from you.
"A LITTLE WHILE LATER AND THE VIDEO IS ENDED" LOL loved it as usual, :-) :-) Chuck
Awesome!
Amazing work RRC as always!
Thank you :)
Great job my friend 👍👍👍🌹
Thank you :)
Brilliant effort as usual
Thank you :)
Huge progress! Loved it.
Thank you :)
Incredible work. Nice content!
Properly sorted Keihn carb or injection? Your opinion please. The value of those bikes is rising quickly, partly due to the popularity of the Vets MXDN race. Great, great video again, my favorite YT channel.
I like the utter reliability of fuel injection these days but there's a lot to be said about running a carb because of the sheer amount of tweeking that you can do to give the engine the characteristics you want that you cant do easily with a fuel injector. pros and cons for each.
