So the story continues After cleaning (thoroughly) the carbs and rejetting them as per the recommendation from ( http://carbjetkits.com/honda-cb650sc-1983-1985-ultimate.html) and putting the pods air filters, the bike is backfiring and not starting half the time. So, last I remember you guys ha

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.

I bought the HF ultra sonic cleaner. Used Simple green. Took off bowls and removed jets. Also top half. Very easy. Did two carbs for 30 minutes the flipped it and then the other two. Let soak and repeated it. Came out like new. I also have a Valkyrie so I know carbs. It has six. I've done all my

After finally getting those carbs back on the bike there’s nothing like the sound of a 700S idling perfectly at 1100 rpms. Didn’t even notice that it was 35 degrees in the garage. Went back inside the house and had a nice cool Luigi’s Italian ice, mango flavor. On Fri, Jan 11, 2019 at 8:20 AM Tomm

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.

Jenya, since my last post here I removed the carbs on a 700S Nighthawk. The same one I already removed the carbs and cleaned. Number 3 cylinder wouldn’t fire so I removed the carbs again, blew out the slow speed jet with compressed air and reinstalled the carbs. The bike runs fine now. Point is I w

Of course this all assumes you have removed the tank and seat. On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 2:23 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > Its not hard to do, you just have to persist. I forgot to mention, before > touching the carbs you have to move the airbox back as far as possible. > That means removing the two

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.

Its not hard to do, you just have to persist. I forgot to mention, before touching the carbs you have to move the airbox back as far as possible. That means removing the two 10mm bolts holding the air breather cover in place. Maybe also removing the bolts holding the battery cover on since the bott

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.

Here’s what I do Jenya. Yours is a CB650SC Nighthawk right or a 700S, same process. Once you get the carbs out and the throttle cables and choke cable detached, go out and celebrate. That and reinstalling is the hardest part. I then remove the float bowls, fill them with carb cleaner and let them s
