I second this, there's no point in only cleaning 2 of the 4. -Kyle On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 1:54 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > Yes, I have done it but it’s better to remove carbs and clean them all, > besides they all probably need cleaning, not just the outer two. > > On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 1:55

Yes, I have done it but it’s better to remove carbs and clean them all, besides they all probably need cleaning, not just the outer two. On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 1:55 PM Daniel Alborn wrote: > Seems like the consensus is clogged slow Jets. Do you think I could drop > the bowls for the outer 2 car

Seems like the consensus is clogged slow Jets. Do you think I could drop the bowls for the outer 2 carbs while they're on the bike? I have an angled screwdriver to reach the inner screws. On Fri, Aug 24, 2018, 8:34 AM 'roidfingers' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! wrote: > Agree with above. You

Back in the 80's, I moved my CB550K from Cleveland, OH to Denver. I don't believe I did anything to it regarding the carbs. I now live in Atlanta, but I just got back from a visit to Denver on my bike yesterday. I certainly didn't do anything to it, and it rode fine, although I never went farth

Not true. But you may need to adjust your air/fuel mixture screws for overall running performance. Just ride it and see. On Friday, August 24, 2018 at 5:01:03 AM UTC-5, kiwinPA wrote: > > not true > > On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 10:40 PM Kimberly Reynolds > wrote: > >> Hey there, >> >> Just moved fr

Agree with above. Your slow jets are clogged. When you use choke you dump extra fuel in carbs. With out it, you rely only on slow jet to idle and to about 1/4 turn of throttle. Clean them good. Not hard to do. On Friday, August 24, 2018 at 4:58:26 AM UTC-5, kiwinPA wrote: > > Revs properly with

I tried an EBay solenoid and you are correct. It sucked. I found a new one at cmsnl.com. Pricey, but should last 30 years. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails f

Revs properly with all cylinders firing with choke still on or off? If it idles only with choke on and revs only with choke on then carbs need cleaning. Has bike been sitting for long time? The fact that it only idles with choke on tells me carbs need cleaning On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 12:05 AM Haro
