just got the 250 G5 running smooth not bad for 38 year old. went down the garage and back about a mile or so. when i left it on the side stand for ten mins I notice a little oil weeping from I think the head gasket. I replaced the oil seals on the rear bolt channels but they were not Honda parts, the gasket set came with the bits.  I do not fancy stripping the head and barrels of again. so what l am thinking. book the MOT and ride the 10 miles there and check helpfully it will pass then ride home and re evaluate. Billy

its possible
Its running great now I still have to have the air screw out 3.5 turns or it runs lumpy. I also have a small oil leak around the head gasket I think.
I will post under a new topic.

sorted the backfiring. after removing the carbs striped them both and yuk they were full of orange fine silt. When i put these together they were spotless.  The only place this muck could come from was the tank l use. its a plastic ex mower tank i have had for a year or two. I shook it well for a min and emptied it into my parts cleaner over a cloth and man was there a load of crud. not sure where this has come form as I have used this for several projects. hey ho. washed out and refiled with nice fresh fuel. the carb kits with postage from David (stand and deliver) silvers were £16 + vat + £5.68 post and lo and behold they were not the correct ones.  so cleaned jets, floats and bowls refit and boom runs like a good un. after warm up I turned the air/pilot screw out about two more turns , as the rves climbed then turned down the tick over. is it OK to have these screws out about 4 turns as the book says 1.5 turns. p.s fuel filters fitted on both pet pipes.

Just thinking, (yes a bad thing)
the exhaust clamp on #2 will not seal. would this lack of back pressure make it pop through the carb intermittently? or am my clutching at straws?
but as I am talking about it how do i get this clamp to tighten even more. I am afraid if I give it any more turns the bolt will snap.

Yes the advance is working great.
I used a strobe light and the timing is spot on (well i think so) the first time I started it was running smooth on #2 i really think its carb sync and or blocked jets.
I know spitting back is valve timing so I am going to open the valve gaps a tad as you suggest I did do them quite tight as i hate the rattle they make if on the wide side. plus it always sounds louder in the garage.

K2 -
compression is 150 psi Left and 135/140 psi Right I have ordered a pair of kits so give the carbs a good clean and change all the jets. see if this helps. i did clean the old ones but they were looking poor.

Hi,
well it was running smooth now its popping through the right carb and if i rev it, it goes up to 5K and stays there until i turn the tick over screw.
the left seems to be running better than the right. my next move check tappets AGAIN just in case. take carbs off AGAIN and clean and bench synk which to be honest i have not touched since building them.

Sorted,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, took the plunge and striped the top end and yes it was 180 degrees out. I dont know how I did not see when I first did it. Re set the valves which for some reason were way out on the right cylinder. started first turn checked with a strobe and a minor adjustment now sweet as a nut. thanks for all the advise.

Hi Oddjob,
It is one of those where you need to average out the gaps between both sets and they are both new and Honda.
will clean the advance mec tonight

I think your correct with the cam. as for the condenser there is only one between the two sets of points.
i will keep fiddling til i get there

Thanks for the reply K2-K6
spent hours on U tube last night found a great guy timing a CB360 1974 virtually the same engine.
he was changing the points gap to suit the timing marks and said to disregard the manual when it came to timing.
so currently i have the right points gap at 0.040 and the left at 0.030 and both cylinders are firing,,,,not smooth but BOTH firing.
so i feel some minor tweaks and I will be there.
