I need to replace my plastic carb spacer on my tl125 engine. I have heard that something else shares this block but i can't seem to locate anything. I can't seem to get my hands on an oem one and I tried a hand built one (not made by my hand) and it seems to transfer the heat. My oem warps the carb when tightneded down so I want to find a honda spacer. I have searched but am comming up dry. Thanks for your help and sorry if this was in an earlier post. I couldn't find one. Cheers

I'm not certain but the spacer from a Reflex (86'/ 87' TLR200) should be the same. You could look at a parts blow up, like the one on bikebandit, to get an idea.

I had a TL125 for many years.Everytime I would properly tighten the carb to the inlet manifold the slide would stick.I tried many things including changing the manifold ,all without success.

Eventually, because of a rich running condition I changed the needle and nozzle in the carb and the sticking problem disappeared.

Upon inspection I saw, under a magnifing glass,the tiny burr in the nozzle that had been the problem all along...worth a check as your case sounds as mine.

Hey Biff,

You stay away from my 86 Reflex!!!!!

Hope you get it sorted.

MotoMike has me all hooked up and is sending me one.

I looked at the reflex and its about the same as a cb125 intake which i have a ton of.

My intake is missing the lower plastic shield which would cause the bowl to heat up.

As i was removing it from the head today it crumbled so its time for it to go.

I sent the head to my works machinist who is awesome so we are getting along just great today.

We will be sorted soon.

Hmm I might want to rethink that "challenge" of ours.

Naww!! Can't wait for ya to get it running, cuz I know you will let me take her for a spin.

Biff,

I have made my own spacer to TL125S specs, well as close as I can reverse engineer it anyway. You can't tell it's not stock from a few feet away. It's been on my bike for about 3-4 years now. I may be making a few more in the near future. This run will have an o-ring at the head vs. the gasket. I think it will seal better with less distortion. Also get an 'S' carb if you can find one as they are thicker walled and do not distort so easily. I have seen after market 'S' carbs on ebay and I believe the one for the XR75/80 is the same as an 'S' with different jetting.

Let me know if you are interested in a repro.
