Sorry Kyle I was referring to jman's response, but to respond to yours I have cleaned the petcock along with the carbs at the time I just didn't have the carb adjusting gauges, and since I have gotten them they've been loaned out.. Guess now would be a good time to "borrow " them back.! Thanks

A dirty petcock? No, that would be adjusted by removing, disassembling, and cleaning it. Cleaning and syncing the carbs is also a good idea while you're in there. -Kyle On Sep 26, 2014 8:22 PM, "'scottvanhou...@yahoo.com' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" wrote: > So that would be adjustable wit

That coupled with the previously mentioned dry inline fuel filter I would guess you've got a fuel delivery problem. I would remove and clean the petcock screens and honestly I'd remove the inline filter completely as it's not necessary with the two screens in the petcock. I've got pics from when I

I guess the big question is - will new riders take to the idea that they can buy their first bike, second, third, etc all the way up to and including a trike for when they're not able to hold the bike up any more from one company. It certainly appeals from a brand loyalty perspective... On Fri
