About the Honda MT250 Elsinore
Clutch plates, carburetor seals and electrical parts for Honda’s road-and-trail Elsinore.
Honda introduced the MT250 Elsinore in Japan in 1973. Its 248cc two-stroke single, five-speed gearbox, oil injection and road equipment brought Honda’s off-road experience to a road-and-trail motorcycle. For a restoration today, the useful starting point is the identity of the engine, carburetor and controls still fitted to the bike.
Separate the repair jobs before ordering
A leaking float bowl, a sticking front brake cable and a worn clutch need different parts checks. Match the gasket to the bowl profile, the cable to its ends and routing, and the plates to the clutch stack. Keep MT250 applications separate from CR250 and MR250 parts, even when all three carry the Elsinore name.
Know your MT250 before choosing parts1974–1976 MT250 parts: the differences that matter
These are component-specific buying checks, not a blanket interchangeability chart.
1974 MT250
Start with the carburetor identification
The linked clutch plates, ignition coil, front brake cable and fork dust seal include 1974. The bowl gasket starts one year later.
Parts checkpoint: For a 1974 carburetor, confirm the gasket separately.
1975–1976 MT250
Check the fitted float bowl
The featured gasket includes these years. A replacement carburetor can change the gasket recess and bowl profile.
Parts checkpoint: Compare the old gasket and carburetor markings.
MT250, CR250 and MR250
Elsinore is not a fitment specification
Shared branding does not establish engine, chassis or electrical interchangeability. Use the MT250 entry on the individual part.
Parts checkpoint: Confirm the complete model and the assembly being repaired.
Identify your motorcycle before orderingMT250 identification checklist
Use the motorcycle’s markings and fitted components. First-registration dates, tank decals and replacement bodywork can be misleading.
- Model and year: Record the frame identification, model label and engine markings; resolve mismatches with the correct market manual.
- Carburetor: Photograph the carburetor marking, float bowl and gasket recess. Note any replacement carburetor.
- Oil injection: Identify the oil tank, pump and lines, and establish whether the original system remains fitted.
- Ignition: Match coil mounts, connections and plug lead. Check any wiring or ignition conversion before selecting the listed 6-volt coil.
- Controls and forks: Compare cable ends and routing, lever hardware, fork identity and seal profile. For clutch plates, check type and stack position.
