I haven't checked in a long time. Scuffing on the jackets is not a problem. There is a really neat method used by the English to lube cables. I can write it out if you want to know. --- On Thu, 12/31/09, NghthwkLvr (NL) <[email protected]> wrote: From: NghthwkLvr (NL) <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Carb Cleaning 101 - 31DEC09 Update To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, December 31, 2009, 4:04 PM hello group....and happy new year to all of you... just wanted to update you on my carb cleaning project...almost finished and ready to reinstall...need to get them in before mlk day (jan.18) because i go back to being a full time student on the nineteenth...so with that said... as of today I have them set out in an upright position with a fuel supply, checking for leaks...as suggested by Dennis.... internally, i have done all the necessary cleaning, unclogging and deglazing and they are looking pretty sparkly and shiny...on the inside.... the external housing is a different matter though...there are a lot of little crooks and crevices that I just can't get to to degrime....I am planning on using compressed air, engine degreaser, pressurized water, and wd-40 to try to take care of the external cleaning...HOWEVER... I read somewhere on the web, that soaking the carbs in boiling lemon water for about 20 minutes would externally clean them right up....so...what do y'all think....would y'all recommend this method or not....would/could anything get damaged by this method? second, I was setting the carb assembly upright to check for leaks and kinda noticed that the throttle cables are a bit on the worn side...looks like they're the originals from back in 1984...so should/ can I go ahead and replace them or just give them a good cable cleaning/lubricating? any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated....thanks guys!
