I'm actually fighting the same thing on my '82 450 right now. A few weeks ago I go to pull out of my street into traffic and without any prior warning the bike has no bottom end power. It still ran but felt like I was running on one cylinder til it got up to about 4000 and then suddenly everythin

When you reseated the lens, was it neccessary to add glue or was there enough residual adhesive left on it to remelt and get the job done? Just wondering how fiddly this project is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group

I know just enuf about carburetors to get myself (and maybe you, if you follow my advice) in a world of trouble. But I do know that all those passageways have specific tasks, controlling three separate functions, circuits they're called -- idle (including just off-idle to about 1/4 throttle, mid-r

All sound advice, but wouldn't a gunked up carb make it so less fuel was getting to the engine and not more? I'm no engine expert, just thinking logically. Seems rather odd that the problem got worse after I cleaned the carb. And I think I did fairly well, but not spotlessly. On May 17, 10:53 a

Agreed - there's lots of little passageways and it's hard to get them fully clean with out a soak or something. I had a salvage shop around here disassemble and ultrasonically clean my 700S carburetors when I got the bike for like $40. Ran beautifully afterward. On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 11:46 AM,

Welcome to the group. There are others on this list much better at speaking carburetor than me, but I do know you have to have the entire airbox, boots, snorkle, filter in place for these bikes to run right. The usual problem is running too lean however, rather than too rich. -Kyle On Mon, May 1

Last month I bought a 1984 Nighthawk 700S. It was a in pretty good shape, but it needed a bit of maintenance. The primary issue is there seems to be to much fuel going through the carb at low rpm. When under low rpm, it putters: some of the pistons don't seem to be firing and I can hear piston sl

The advice to buy new is wise. Just saw a used one on ebay and the bidding was at $178. So apparently it's not common knowledge that NOS (new old stock) is still available at retail, and for less money. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Mot
