If there is gunk in the tank then cleaning the carbs won't last long. Clean the tank out too or at least add a $5 inline fuel filter. On 8/28/10, MOPARJOE wrote: > It looks better than many/most, but has scratches in the gas tank. - > As for running condition...we are all having this discussion a

If I were you Joe I would pull the carbs and pull out the slow speed needles, and blast some carb cleaner and compressed air through them. Be sure to count the turns when you take them out. I'd do a bench sync too. Then replace the gas with good hightest and a can of seafoam then go for a long ride

Hi Joe, I'd bet you have to clean the carbs again unless a mouse built a nest in the air box and you've got no air going through. What are you doing with another 700-S. You never got treatment did you and you failed to show up at the Henry Ford Clinic. Joe, Joe, Joe Graham On Aug 27

SeaFoam works by going where the Gas goes - if the gas can't get there - the Seafoam won't either. In other words - if you have a blockage in your carbs or something that is almost blocked, SeaFoam want go there since it can't flow there. -Joey On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 3:37 PM, MOPARJOE

This past spring I bought another 700-S Nighthawk,a nd finally got it delivered a few weeks ago. Bike has only 5K miles on it, and obviously spent most its life sitting in a garage in North Carolina. The person I bought it from, bought it off the original owner, and then sent it to a Honda Dealer t
