Hello, Anyone tried this tip on the www.hondanighthawks.net/repair.htm page? * * I have the Clymer manual for my 1992 750, but still wasn't clear on where the "self adjusting cam cam tensioner" was. The author notes a "two minute" effort. I believe I do have a rattle sound as described, so thought giving this adjustment might be worthwhile. Opinion?
Cheers, Eric * * * * *Quote ...* * * *I found a substantial improvement in the sound of the top end of the motor after taking two minutes to loosen up (then retighten) the self adjusting cam chain tensioner and let it do its thing. Before this adjustment I was getting a rattling/loose sound from the top end at about ~4300 rpm. The sound is now totally gone. I have also pulled the carbs and found the acceleration pump was mal-adjusted and was not doing its job at all. After the fix (parts available on eBay for less than $20), I now see four nice little spurts of fuel down through each of the four carbs whenever the throttle is whipped open (the design here is to keep the fuel/air mixture from becoming momentarily too lean when the throttle plate is suddenly opened). With this repair, I hope to see an even better throttle response now when I get it back together.* --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
