[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Acceleration or Throttle problem in lower gears

Hi there, I'm from the UK and have an '85 CD250 (same engine) that has * exactly* the same problem - i.e. warm it up, head off, it loses power when you put the throttle on, then surges, then I'm up and running. Only ever happens in the first minute or so. Once engine's been running it goes away.

That's the way I learned - the hard way! The shop manual will give you hours of pleasure, bed time reading and some nightmares. Well worth the price, whatever it is. Good luck On Wednesday, May 22, 2013 12:58:33 AM UTC+1, baro...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, everyone! Today I decided to try
