Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] cb700 California model fuel system question

[Graham Rogers]

I can't imagine why the fuel would not go directly from the petcock  
to the carbs.  It's emissions from the valve cover to the air box  
they did something different with I think.  I have a PVC canister  
under the tank, above the carbs on my '86 700. It's between the valve  
cover vent and the air box but it doesn't have anything to do with  
the fuel supply.  Graham

I'm in the process of bringing an '84 cb700 back to life and have a  
question.  My nighthawk is a California model and the repair manual  
I have must be for the same CA model.  I just cleaned the fuel  
petcock and am trying to get the thing to fire up.  The fuel on  
this goes to a valve then to a canister underneath the bike then  
back up to the carbs.  To simplify things, I'm wondering if I can  
just rout the fuel from the petcock directly into the carbs and  
eliminate the canister and the PCV?  I'm guessing that the 49 state  
version doesn't have all of the extra stuff in there.  Any help  
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
