I just got my hands on a 1987 250x. It was in storage for 15+ years. It was running good when it was put away. I was planning on changing the oil and filter, draining the tank and putting in fresh gas in it, putting a new plug on, cleaning the air filter, and cleaning the carb up and I think it should fire right up. Can someone tell me how much oil it uses? (I was planning on using 10-40w) I would also appreciate any other advice anyone would give me.
Thanks

 

Does anyone know.....

1. Oil capacity for a 87 250x????

2. How to properly clean the carb???

 

Cant tell you the capacitys but buy a couple courts and fill it up can't be too hard when it's good on the dipstick you got the right amount. As far as the carb goes do everything else and see what happens. It may not need cleaned at all. Hondas are tought motors that run forever. If anything you may have to pull it apart and clean out the jets with a very fine needle or a cactus thorn as thats what I had to use one time but it worked. Like I said just drain the gas and carb bowl it's prob. evaporated anyway, change oil, filter air filter and give a good once over and see what happpens. You'll probably be surprised.

Let us know how it goes!!! I wish I could find one in excellent shape like that
