Neil, Thank you. All my riding life which is about 50 years, I always shut the fuel petcock off. In times past, you had to because there weren't many vacuum operated fuel valves. I've even done it with this bike. It keeps from putting undue force on the needle & seat. I did not do that the

If you do go to dismantle them, find a good set of JIS screwdrivers. Phillips will just chew them up and strip them out. I have Vessel branded ones, they're very nice. Kurt On Feb 21, 2016 10:05 PM, "Allen Thomas" wrote: > It is not uncommon for o-rings to shrink when

It is not uncommon for o-rings to shrink when you drain the carbs dry for winter. Give it a day or two and it will stop. Also floats do sometimes stick causing leaking from the overflow tubes. Try using a wooden dowel and a hammer to tap them loose. Allen Thomas On Feb 21, 2016 9:09 PM, "Neil

I think the battery box uses a boltnut arrangement. The screws look like they came off the carbs like float bowl screws. Allen Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

The backfires are from either a too lean or too rich condition. Are the like shotgun blasts or just some popping? The former is usually super rich and the latter lean which is normal when you chop the throttle. Allen Thomas On Jun 16, 2014 3:14 PM, Hawk4Tony gton...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you
