Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 84 cb700s petcock

Also on my Yamaha, the o-ring on the lever was dry rotted and weeped gas like yours does. I just replaced the o-ring with one out of my harbor freight metric Viton o-ring assortment. I had to sand it down a bit to get the lever operation smooth but it doesn't leak at all. On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 9

I don't know if any of the one these guys sell will fit, but if the threads match up, the price is right. Supposedly this one fits the 650.Check out the website for the other sizes. http://4into1.com/honda-motorcycle-fuel-valve-petcock-18-x-1-0mm-1/ On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 4:19 PM, Tommy Hill

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 84 cb700s petcock

Jman, I think I have a used petcock. I am out of town and won't be home until Fri, but make me a fair offer. I bought a box of parts to resell, but haven't gotten around to it. The flat part of the knob is broken, but yours should swap put. Can't promise it won't leak, but appears in good co

There is a member on the UJM boards who found a British company making valve seal kits, he's talking to them about a group buy. It'd be $30/kit by his current estimate. Kurt On Sep 2, 2014 12:37 PM, "Kyle Munz" wrote: > Here's a bit of info from the archives, it may help you out, certainly > wor

Thank you for the info. I did drill it out and tried soaking the gasket in there to soften it up. I'll give the part a go and maybe grab a used petcock also just in case. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 2, 2014, at 12:36 PM, Kyle Munz wrote: > > Here's a bit of info from the archives, it ma

[Nighthawk Lovers] 84 cb700s petcock

My petcock body has a leak at the knob. If I wiggle the knob it leaks more. I would try a used one but not sure if this is common and will run into the same issue. There was a new one on eBay with all the parts for 200+ but missed. Seems there is no petcock bodies avalible anymore. Cant thi

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Just bought 93 CB250

B12 is a pint of 50% acetone, you can get at wally world for $3.12. It's a good solvent. I got straight acetone measured for my Dakota 6 cyl to perform like a turbo at 25% better gas mileage (!). I never figured out B12 since it is mixed with other stuff, but it will definitely blow the sludge

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: I would ride 500 miles

That's a part of Ohio I'm not familiar with. Since Ada's in the area got flattened by the glaciers, it's good for farming but less so for riding. Enjoy your trips through WVA, though. On Sunday, August 24, 2014 6:01:36 PM UTC-4, ELK wrote: > > >

Notes: 1. At idle, you will not be charging the battery, but discharging. Must be at least 2000RPMs or a touch more to charge the battery. 3. Agree with Allen except the rear brakes are more of a pain in the butt. Change it over 2/3s used 4. Not familiar with B12. Might also consider Seaf

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Just bought 93 CB250

Here is my opinion. 1. Take the battery to a battery warehouse or other place that can load test it. Put a multimeter on the battery when it is running. You should have at least 14.5 volts at 5000 RPM, and be above 13V by 2000. 2. Buy a brake lever (done). Do I need to replace the brake line? Do
