What to do if Honda VTR250 wont start?
Start with the vacuum tap and make sure the filters in the rank aren’t blocked, and the little diaphragm and passages are ok. Next make sure you are getting fuel through the whole tap assembly. You can put a piece of hose on the vacuum connection and suck on it to test, it doesn’t need a big vacuum to work.
