Yep! Needs a hands-on approach. I think we have done all we can to assist from afar.

bike is ticking over, the back wheel will slight spin when its on stand so it must be trying, on occasion its ignited and started for like one milli second, so it really is trying, it just wont do it,

but you know all that after i really think something like carbs or vavles or floater tank or something, i dunno

looks like somehow gonna have to pay for it to get picked up for a shop and pay a fortune

You know, we really have tried to help...but with this post I'm not sure that you are understanding our 'instructions'.
In the interests of clarity, I will repeat "The loss of the vacuum hose is part (if not all) of your trouble."
It MAY have contributed to some other issue in one/both of the carbs insofaras the bowls ran dry, which COULD have allowed crud in the bottom of one/both to get sucked into and partially block a jet. Too technical for you to attempt.

Since no-one else in ChCh has got involved and you appear to be too shy to go find someone local, then I guess you will be paying a shop.
Edit: - Oooops, I spoke too soon. Take their kind offer/s VT250, and the opportunity to learn some valuable skills.

I can come around and have a look for you. Im not great with mechanics but I should atleast be able to point you in the right direction.

Do you have tools at your place or do I need to bring some around.

If you have Wednesday night off and you go to the thread that hayd3n keeps posting here and ask nicely someone with a trailer might be able to take your bike to a work shop for you, or perhaps the Wednesday night maintance evening could come to you.

I have tuesday off. I can come and look at your bike anytime during the day up to about 6pm (really early start the next day). Send me a pm with your address and cell number if your interested. Otherwise can do tomorrow afternoon after 2 and before 6pm.

Hey Ditto to all Spud Said. Phoenix and I have just gotten home. I'm no help but if you PM myself or Phoenixgtr I'm sure he can pop round for a look.

Also agree that you need to come along to the maintanence nights if you dont know what a carb looks like!

[JMemonic]

I am about to get some sleep but tomorrow afternoon I will be able to have a look if you want, PM me if you have no luck and can wait that long sorry but I am a bit busy today.

By now I would say the Plugs are very wet.... and need a clean or replacement....

If it continues to run for 20 minutes and dies, then the 27 year old ignition system may have called enough... Heat can lower resistance.

yay the super heros have arrived now where has vt250 gone?
