Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

I am rebuilding a basket case 1973 CR250M honda elsinore and have discovered the nearly complete carb is missing the needle jet, does any have information or knowledge on what size the or part number the stock bike had?

I looked at the needle on my Elsinore and the # 043 was inscribed. Also the Honda part number is (if it's still available) 16013-357-014. Another source is Keyster which makes replacement parts and rebuild kits for Keihin carbs.

Good luck.

Correction, the needle has D43 inscribed not 043.

dogger315, thanks for the info, I did find & buy a keyster kit on ebay today and it comes with the D43 needle, success! I had been searching for a couple days and had come up empty, much appreciated.
