My first thought is it sounds like an exhaust leak... But it also could be
a timing chain rattle, because the tensioner might need to be be adjusted,
or replaced... Or it could just be something loose and rattling at that
rpm? Hope you find the source...

I find lately, that my '84 Nighthawk 450 is unable to start until I drain
the bowls of the carbs, and then it's hesitant until it's well warmed up.
Obviously, there's something up with the carbs, but I'm not sure where to
begin, Thoughts?

Principals be damned, I paid 30 for the shop manual for the Nighthawk I
inherited for free.
If you Google CB450SC, and Google it well, you will find what you seek. There
are forums that have the manual for the CM450 and CB450C which are very
similar.

I've got an 84 Nighthawk 450. I can send you a copy of the Clymer manual later
today.
My opinion is your money would be very well spent on picking up the Honda shop
manual on eBay you can find it. I've got an 85 organ donor and the 86 manual.
They are identical to my eye.
The 450 is a great bi

Thank you Paul, I guess all things change. It was nice to know at one time
that help was the next rider to come your way if you were stuck. We still

Thanks, I thought they would last longer than that. I had 70,000 on the

It certainly is an attractive bike.

Honestly, the sun is finally starting to come out here in N
Thanks to all for the sound advice.
I think for now the best thing for me is to keep on with the 450
Nighthawk I've already got. I know where and how it's been used.
In the mean time, I'll keep looking around and seeing what can be
seen.
Thanks again,

I've got a 1984 Nighthawk that I'm having a lot of fun bombing around
on.
Unfortunately, the tachomoter recently broke. Specifically, the
threaded connection for the tach cable has separated from the metal
underside of the tach pod, and looks too chewed up to try and
reinstall.
Is it possible to

Lastly, the needle washer mod.: Is it applicable across ALL Hawks
( for that matter, across ALL CBs? I've got an '81 900C that is
waiting to be "restored" and if I can mod. the carbs on that as
well...heck, cool!)
Guess that's all for now. Thanks in
