Re: Carbs stumped me again
So no ideas why a CV carb would just 'die'? I've checked plugs and everything. I know the carb is clean and all is proper... that I can see. Can a carb sync fix something like this?

Re: Carbs stumped me again
Well last night I pulled the carbs off and thoroughly cleaned them. I do not know the compression yet however as smooth as the engine ran it definitely doesn't have a major ailment such as cracked cylinder or blown headgasket. However once I got the carbs all cleaned up and put back on cylinders 2 a...

Re: Carbs stumped me again
Well new findings/ and response to previous post: Previous post follow up: -Yes, all 4 pipes get equally hot -The PO very well might have reamed the jets because these carbs show signs of molestation New Findings: -I pulled the carb rack and all jets and accelerator pump look good -I don't know what...

Re: Carbs stumped me again
I tried the airbox lid and removing the air filter completely... it actually made it worse, other steps is reaching in and verifying the choke is open all the way (like I said the bike dont need a choke to start) and I can feel loads of heat coming out all 4 pipes. Looks like the carb rack is coming...

Re: No fuel
be mindful of your fuel hose as well, if you take a look at the 82 nighthawk thread i have up it may shed some light on your issue. Also, cant recall at the moment check and verify your petcock is working 100%

Carbs stumped me again
I've been reading a lot of the other carb posts, and this is similar but different issue. I have the CV carbs on a bone stock 650. Season after season this thing has been incredible... but this season its not so incredible. Carbs are perfectly in sync, jets are perfect, choke functions perfectly, an...

Re: 1982 Nighthawk Issue
Well believe it or not, I solved this one and man am I a dummy! Turns out the new fuel line I installed got hot and collapsed on its self while the tank was on, and of course once the tank was pulled off the line popped back into shape so I had no idea that was actually occuring. Ironically once I s...

Re: Don;t drink and drive
'81... well I think it's safe to say I was a level or 8 past drunk. I went out to a bar called O' Tooles for they're monstrous $4 burgers and $3 bloody mary bar. I aint never had a bloody mary, and I like it so much I figured I'd have 2 more... according to the tab I got billed for 9 bloody marys an...

Re: My 2008 Bike Trip to Mt. Washington PART 2
Those are beautiful pictures, and thank you for sharing! The only legitimate question I have is why on earth would you wear a full face on such a nice ride! The wind in your face is over half of the feeling of complete freedom IMO. If it's a bit nippy, bandanna over the ears and neoprene if you just...
