CH250 Carb fun

It leaks. Let's hope the new float valve fixes it because the seat seems to be pressed in and not replaceable.



I'm hoping I don't have bystarter troubles, but if I do, this is good info to keep in mind.

Vision Book 4000 Pro Series Laptop Disassembly

I probably should've removed the keyboard before tearing it up so bad. The keyboard just comes up first via some tabs on the bottom of the valance panel thing.

I did find one thread where someone had a similar issue getting this thing apart. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=507207

These are the screws preventing you from final disassembly. The keyboard has to come out first.

This is the tab that hooks the bottom of the keyboard. Just pry this back and it should swing right up. 

CH250 Motor install

I should've pressed these out while the motor was apart. I was able to get one of them out and it was a hot mess of dried grease, rust, and crust. The o-rings were fine.

It's pretty clean for as dirty as it looks:

The starter + wire actually should go to the left in this picture. It heads straight for the stator wires, then travels up with them.

That little hook holds the starter + wire and the wires from the stator.

Waiting on my buddy to help me lift the damned thing. I took apart and regreased the bits that the mounting bolt goes through. The new grease helps keep everything stuck together well.

I took off the footrest and all so it would free up some room to not get cut on sheetmetal.

There she is.

I hooked it up well enough to verify the cobbled-together starter turns it and it farted to life. The carb needs a kit pretty bad. At least the pilot jet needs a new o-ring.

CH250 rebuild started

Back together. Second CH250 getting close to running. Had to blow the aluminum chunks out of the oil line. Good god, what did they do to this motor.
