I would clean the petcock and screen too. Check the gas tank while it's off for rust & rinse it out with a little gas. Throw some bolts in there and swish 'em around if you think the crud in the tank might need some help to remove it. Sometimes the bolts may be hard to remove so get an automotive tool retriever with magnetic end to get them out. HotrodMamma.

Hey guys Alright let me run down the situation: 2 months ago Empty tank, then the bike cut out, threw the choke on high to make the last 1/4 mile to the fuel station. Bike drove fine the rest of the trip(5 miles), sat for 4 hours, started fine then drove home. Next morning, Bike wouldn't start. All of the plugs had spark. Didn't have time to work on it for 2 months.(now) Talking to a mechanic friend, said carbs needed cleaning, and debris from the tank probably clogged em when i ran it out of gas. So I'm giving that a go. Currently the carbs are off of the bike. Im just looking for tips and advice or further tests i should run to diagnose the problem.\ Thanks guys! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
