CB250K4 carburetor puzzle
« on: February 11, 2026, 07:23:06 PM »
Good night, I introduce myself, it is my first time in this forum. I have several Hondas from the 70s.

 Now I am checking the carburation of a 1974 Honda CB250K4 and seeing the condition of the carburetors (different vacuum springs, different main jets and no number) I would like you to confirm the correct size for primary and secondary main jets. and also how can I identify the correct spring vacuum for my model

thank you for your attention

Those are questions for the Honda Twins forum, also try comparing parts at cmsnl BUT make sure you look at the correct country parts as they may well very between countries

Firstly check you have the correct carbs as they often get fitted with earlier ones.They should be 725B. Spring wasn't available as a separate part ...it comes with the diaphragm / piston assembIy...I would probably assume it's OK unless someone has changed the diaphragm to a 350 one...as I think 350 diaphragms assemblies are different .... I will check on my parts books for you and reply again.
