I will confirm you have an '83 assuming I am seeing your "Run/off" switch correctly. '83 is a rotating switch and after they went to a toggle.
Invest a little extra and get a dry battery from Autozone or Advance Auto. Worth the money. I THINK the battery will fit in either way as far as +\- goes. I disagree slightly with the choke. On mine, when it is that warm outside (meaning all but damn cold outside) go full choke then back off just a touch when engine is cold. You should not have to touch the throttle until it starts and then MAYBE a small rev (100-200 RPMs) and it will pick up and purr. You will here it rev as it warms and you are off to the races. I mean, be careful out there. Assume EVERYONE is trying to kill you - always! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
