I recently acquired this 1968 CB250 from the original owner. Apparently she rode it from Peterborough Ontario to Kelowna BC on more than one occasion. I want to document her story and return the bike to the way it was in its glory days.

This where I am at today. Just went for a burn around the block, once it was fully warmed up it would rev past 6k. I guess it needs a better tune but I'm not sure where to start. Any help?
The bike is a 250 but I bolted in a 350 and will work on the 250 later.

My idea was to do a bit of a tribute to the RC166 and retain the blue/silver for the lady that used to ride this.
It is definitely a 20 footer!
I have started a draft of the story of this bike as she and her husband told me.
I'll post it next....

I would start with the advancer to be sure it's moving fully open and closed. Not revving till hot maybe lack of advance or sticking cold. From there timing.

That should be an interesting read, looking forward to it.

Since this section is for Pictures and Videos, you'll need to start a repair thread in the 250/350/360 Ignition section for any further diagnosis and discussion.
