I have a Honda Rebel 450. The carb has been rebuilt (3X) but the same issue
still persists. I apparently need a new carb, this one has too much corrosion.
Can I use new 250 rebel carb on this 1987 with no adaptation issues or are
they completely different?

Why don't you look up in the spec sheet to see if they're listed as the
same carb? I doubt they'd use the same carb on a 250 and a 450 separated
by more than 20 years, but they might. However, doesn't the 450 have
twin carbs and the 250 a single?
If they both have single carbs and they are the same unit, no problem,
although it will probably need re-jetting and setting up again.
If they look the same but aren't, and the 250 carb still bolts on
perfectly, then a smaller carb will certainly work, yes. It will
probably need setting up for the bigger engine, and you'll lose a bit of
top end power with the trade-off of winning a bit more flexibility lower
down

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Yes, I do, actually.
Think of all those bikes that have been fitted with smaller carbs.
