2007 CRF50 - Carb Maint.

[murphy8166]

Good evening!  I am new to the forum and spent the day watching my 6 year old son get comfortable on a new to him 2007 Honda CRF 50.  I'm pretty handy and meticulous when it comes to maintenance on our toys.  Bike runs fine but I find myself wanting to break the carburetor down, clean it and put it back together.  It is the factory carb and I don't care to alter it from stock.

Is there a kit out there to replace O-rings and any other replaceable part.  If there is - please recommend a good brand (don't want cheap stuff)

Excited to be on the forum and thanks for your help.

Why not just stick with an OEM gasket kit for $12.80-16.62?

Thanks CRF James.  I ordered riding gear from them and they were great.  Are their any other parts that I should consider replacing while I have the Carb apart?

Since your grandson is only 6, I would probably leave the bike basically stock for now.

Maybe grab a better breathing air filter like an UNI model #NU-4131st, a UNI foam filter service kit and some Honda GN4 10w-40.


When he is ready for a little more power you could consider eliminating the stock air box and switch to a UNI pod filter and bumping up the main jet, but that’s probably a little premature at this time.

Oh, a 4mm spoke wrench might be handy to have also to keep the spokes tight and wheels trued.

 

Avoid the 6 way and 3 sided wrench’s as they are difficult to get on all the spokes when dealing with 10” wheels.
