I think those were originally rivets. So remove screw, and retap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to nighthawk_lovers+unsubscr...@g

That third nipple is simply a vent to supply air to the back side of the vacuum diaphragm. The fuel cocks are relatively easy to clean and rebuild. The PO may have replaced the vacuum diaphragm, but in my experience the O-rings and strainer need to be replaced as well. They get hard after a while a

I just had a Kawasaki KZ1000 do that. gas would pour out through the hole in the muffler because it was being sucked into #3 cylinder due to a torn diaphragm in the pet cock (allowing gas to be sucked into #3 intake). Graham On Aug 14, 2010, at 9:17 PM, jaybird...@aol.com wrote: << Her

I put Teflon tape on mine but I don't think it did anything. I'm pretty sure gasoline eats it. Just make sure that the plastic screen that goes inside the tank hasn't dry rotted. It's about the size of a lipstick maybe? The "reserve tank" straw goes up inside it. The plastic becomes brittle after a

My creative tool was using a jewlers file to make an offset wrench out of a coat hanger to get that darn #2 pilot screw adjusted. After purchasing a $50 special tool that didn't fit and subsequently destroying it trying to make it smaller, a free solution proved best. On 5/23/10, Kim Paddock wrot

Buddy of mine had a similar issue. We disassembled the petcock only to find that the previous owner had removed the spring behind the diaphragm. It's nice when the fix is simple, and cheap ;) -Kyle On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 8:57 AM, Dennis wrote: > Good tip! - thanks, Jaybird > > Dennis G > - C
