Hi Paul, I don't know Matt. I don't run into many people riding Nighthawks of any year. Once I get mine out of the shop I need to get in touch with him and set up a time to meet. Brian _ From: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com [mailto:nighthawk_lov...@googlegroups.com] On Beh

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 83 NH 650 - Carb Fuel Connector - Oring's?

The O rings have shrunk. Before a disassemble session, let them sit a couple of days with fuel in them. Depending on the amount of ethenol in your fuel, they may swell up again. Should you have to replace them, it will be a formidable job. Expect the diaphragms to need replacement too. At that p

why are you playing around with the cam chain tensioner ? I suggested you check the ignition advancer. Oh well. Your carb job is waiting. --- On Sat, 5/16/09, infinitelyevo...@gmail.com wrote: From: infinitelyevo...@gmail.com Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: How responsive is a 1983 750sc NH?

.065" is huge ! It's not an HEI Oldsmobile. They are supposed to be .026~.030". The lack of carbon is a sign of too lean. Dig into those carbs...again. Did you say you have a K&N in that ? With the cover on, I hope. I can't imagine a CX that goes really fast. I suppose they can be made to, but

My only encouragement is that you not give up! The 750s are classics and once you uncover the reason for the dogging at higher RPMs you'll be glad you did. Besides, we're all reading these updates and benefiting from your investigation. :) Hang in there! Paul On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 7:09 PM, i

OK, I just got back from my ride and it still lacks power... 1 gear takes off... good acceleration, 2nd and 3rd is good as well, but when I get to around 4000 RPM's in 4th it loses umph, and 5th is worse around the the same RPM's up to around 5700. I know it's running rich cause I went 146 km (91

There's an old timer here, worked on Porsches and VWs and Honda motorcycles.  Way back in 69, when I first met him, he was already into both (the cars and the bikes).  If  he is still around and working, I will check with him.  He has done everything there is to do to Hondas. He is the sort of m

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: How responsive is a 1983 750sc NH?

No fuss raised on my part, I was just curious. They made a CX500T back in the day that was one of the very few factory turbocharged bikes, that would definitely hang with faster bikes. I believe it was fuel injected rather than carbureted tho, and had a plastic fairing and TURBO logos all over it.

Honestly Kyle I don't know... I picked it up for 300 back in college and was just happy to have the bike... When I got it.. It was in rough shape and waterpump housing broke about a week later. Fixed it with my uncle at his shop. It wasn't until I moved with that roommate that it reached it

The pipes are all hot and I found carbon on the first spark plug, but not the other three. Cleaned with wire brush and regapped... gapped them all to .65 and it seemed to have less of an issue misfiring, but not before the changing the oil with some nicer stuff. I made a rookie mistake in trusting
