  1. Been a while since i posted as other stuff has taken priority. 

    Picked up a 88 Terra Pro the other day, man this thing is rough. Missing gas tank,

    carb, all cables locked up or broken, But the bike looks interesting, never seen one. 

    All i see listed is 350cc but this one is a 250? Has 5 speed live clutch, PTO, looks kinda cool. 

    Who knows when it ran last. Got it from a guy said he got it from a friend years ago like that

    so probably hasnt run in 15 yrs or so. Started working on it, the oil was full of gas, drained it 

    put fresh oil in it. Pulled the plug which was fouled black, im sure it was flooding. Cleaned the plug

    and actually got it to crank with the start button. Got cables, carb, and a gas tank on the way. Hoping

    for the best. Az

  2. you could try just raising the idle. If that doesnt remedy it you probably gonna have to 

    open up the carb and at least clean it out and clean out the idle circuit. Not that difficult, 

    lot of tube videos there to watch. Az

  3. I bled the m/c first, gravity fed both lines forever, Pumped up and bled 

    the standard way, barely any tension on lever, it does come shooting out of the bleeder

    when bleeding but still not enough to activate brakes. I even clamped off 1 line at a time. 

    When doing so it increased the tension on lever a lot but still not right. I even was tapping on the brake line where

    it connects to the wheel cyls, and also at the y connector, still same condition. Easiest things seem to mess with

    you the most. Like i said before also had another one with a broken m/c and ended up same problem. Never did get

    enough pressure to slow you down. Would not even keep you from rolling it with the brake on. Dam Hondas! Az

  4. So as i read all the new posts i think and probably some of you also like I remember that problem or that headache

    on that bike, I have been through many and some simple and some pretty complicated but eventually figure them 

    out with some experimenting and help from others here. Kinda wonder why i still buy them.  Each one is harder than 

    the last but pretty satisfying when finally figured out. Think ill keep doing it, keeps the brain working. Az

  5. So i have had this trx 250 that i brought back from the grave. Long story

    but got it running and the master cyl eye glass was broken out so it hasnt worked in years. 

    I replaced it, filled and bled the cyl, bled the brakes, I dont see any air coming out when im bleeding them

    but no matter what no pressure on handle. Will stop the turning wheel if spun by hand but wont hold at all. 

    I adjusted the brakes also, checked for leaks at the brake cyls, all good. No leaks at lines or fittings, I have put a lot of fluid

    throught them and i know the routine as i did brakes on autos for years. Have new washers on master cyl, I would hate to replace 

    parts knowing their good. Funny thing, few years ago same style vehicle i bought same broken master cyl and same problem after

    replaced. No pressure, Any ideas? Pretty simple system but maybe you guys have had similar problems. Thanks Az

    Just so you know I have replaced the complete master cyl, not just the glass. Az

  6. Update on the Honda, Replaced the stator and pickup as it comes with both.

    Rechecked and has spark now, Also carb throttle plate rusted in fixed position,

    tried it all and no fixing this carb. I ordered one and after playing with the metering rod

    adjustment actually runs great. Was a lot more to it but you get the point. Sorry long wait but

    have had other projects keeping me busy. 

  7. normally it clears the frame but in this case the weld on the frame was built 

    up enough to keep the cover from coming off. I would try to remove it and 

    see if it is gonna hit. If doing extensive work i would just unbolt the motor

    to move it out of the way. Most the times it will come right off. 

  8. lol, no repairing this one. stator smashed into wires, tried using a chisel to separate, not 

    working, Also, cover would hit frame and could not remove with out pulling motor or at 

    least unbolting and jacking up. Decided to break out the die grinder and take off part of frame

    by foot pedal to save a lot of work. Parts should arrive later this week. Az

  9. Well removed the stator from the housing and then could see the damage. Must have had foreign

    material get in and smashed between stator and flywheel. Has a good dent in flywheel but i think  

    should be ok. Ordered new stator, will replace when it gets here and go from there. Wonder if thats

    what locked the motor up and not a stuck ring, Shall see. Learning all the time. Az

  10. So got around to doing some checks, all stator legs seem to be grounded, not good. 

    The pick up also grounded on both wires, Not sure how all are grounded but pulled off

    the cover with the stator, looks ok but havent pulled it off the housing yet. Never seen one

    that every wire was grounded to the body. Guess ill order new stator and go from there. Az

  11. LOL, I have baked the cdi @ 300 for 10 min. Havent tested it since. 

    Been kinda busy. I still have to check the kill switch, and voltages to see

    where im at. Happy i found the other download for the wiring.  Work and 

    the cold keeping me from working on it. Will report what i find. Thanks Az

  12. The other box appears to be a warning box, maybe a driver for the oil over heat etc. 

    At least that what the wiring diagram shows, I scrubbed the tube where the vin should be

    but dont see anything. On my old one all i ever saw was the sticker which had the info on it but

    no vin. Ill have to check again when it warms up here. Az

  13. Ok, update. I downloaded the 85-87 Trx 250 manuel. It showes both cdi boxes but only lists 

    1 as the cdi box. Not sure what the other one is. At least i have a map. Still would like to know the year

    of it. Gonna have to do some back probing on the wiring when i get some time. Didnt see this download

    last time i was on here. Az

  14. Well got another one for the elders here. I recently picked up a Honda Trx 250

    in pretty rough shape. Brought it home cleaned it up if thats possible. Motor was

    seized, Pretty bad shape. I unseized the motor, got it to spin over, Got it to crank on its

    own with the start button. Got neutral light, but no spark. Fuses good wiring is old but looks

    intact. Went to check cdi box, here is where the problem lies, I dont know the year. The last one 

    was under the plastic on the crossmember, this one has none. Looks like a  sticker was there at one time. 

    I checked the left side of frame by foot peg and nothing. Cant find any vin number. I need to know the year

    to try to locate a cdi. One clue is this one appears to have 2 cdi boxes. One is a little larger than the other but

    plugs look identical to eachother. One has green connectors and the other has white connectors. Is this only

    on certain year model that has duel cdi boxes? I also need a download for a trx 250 Im thinking its about a 1985 or 86

    but just a guess. Before changing i would like to check some voltages but need a manual for this. Any guess on how to 

    identify and or get a download for this one would be great. Wont let me post pics only .08 MB Down load available. Thanks in advance Az

  15. Not a 2 Stroke but sure is fun, Would post more pics but looks like 2 pics i posted used up 

    all my allowance. Seems can only upload couple of pics now says all files are too large.

    Theres a lot of 3 wheelers out there. The nicer ones the people think they are gold and 

    sell for more than when they are new. The cheap ones are pretty much destroyed and or missing

    ungettable parts so keep an eye out and you will find one. Az
