honda 250cc help

[spilde24]

just bought a go kart with a honda 250cc engine but it needs an exhaust pipe so i am wondering where i can look up the model # it is L250SE-5100252 if you can help me identify it that would be great, thanks

Is it 2 or 4 stroke?

Post Pics Do You Know What It Came Off Of

Its A 2cyl Right

Do You Have Any Idea How Old It Is

 

[spilde24]

i will post pics when we find our camera(not sure where i last saw it), but im not sure what it came off of but i believe it is a 4 stroke/cycle, my best guess of its age is early 80's but my guess is as good as any

just straight pipe it if its a 4 stroke. do you need to mix the gas/oil for the engine? if so its a 2 stroke, or if there is a plastic tank that you need to fill with 2 stroke oil, it is also a 2 stroke.

my dad verified that its a 4 stroke, but right now it just has two pipes into one coming out of the engine that has the muffler broken off, could i weld a lawnmower muffler onto the end? or would it restrict the airflow too much?

Sounds like a XL250/XR250R engine. Nice 4 valve engine, 2 exhaust ports.

Those are the 2-4HP mufflers for Briggs engines (or 5HP, both look the same, but have different sizes)...

I'd get a RLV muffler or steal something off a car

Check out craigslist for motorcycle mufflers,

thats an xr 250 do you still have you realy dont want to put a mower muffler on it can you just run straght pipes ?

 

[spilde24]

i was just throwin that mower muffler option out there bc the muffler is cheap but i guess it was kinda a dumb idea but i would like somethin relatively quiet, are straight pipes on that thing going to be really loud? how will it compare to the engine with its stock muffler?

 

[oscaryu1]

Straight pipe will yes, be loud. Eh... Imagine a stock... Toyota... and then a Ferrari.

Lol oscar, I've seen a Ferrari straight piped. Not loud. I'd say the rattly 4 bangers on the rev limitor on cruise nights at the track are louder.
