It was December, 2007, and the Nighthawk I'd bought was in the garage and exhibited the problem I'd mentioned -- Idled with choke full on, totally died when given any throttle. The only group around that I could find then was the Yahoo Nighthawk group, so I went to find my early posting over there. (I can't believe I've had my Nighthawk for that long. )
The explanation given to me was: "You're going from lean to leaner and exceeding the stoichiometric requirements for combustion." (In short, if the main jets are blocked when you open the throttle, you're increasing the amount air, without increasing the amount of fuel ... so, no bang. -- that was from Lou Medina) Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
