Hello again, I had a similar issue with mine and to resolve it I had to replace the "Diaphram Pump" through Bike Bandit part# 217860-001- trouble shooting on these bikes aren't real fun I hope this helps Fred In a message dated 4/24/2010 2:08:25 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Thanks for the reply Fred, appreciate it, although I think I have other issues to worry about now, haha. I went to fire it up in the morning and it started up okay, but it was only running on three cylinders, #2 wasn't firing. This isn't the first time I've inexplicably lost a cylinder, my #1 has gone out. The bike floods relatively easily, and once it floods... oh man. I'm not used to working with carbs, much less four of them on a 26 year old bike. After today's problem with #2 I've got all the plugs out and will let the whole thing dry out, #2 was definitely wet with gas, all of the other were black/brown. I can't explain why "random" cylinders would flood out though. Swapping around plugs will get the one cylinder to fire again, and then the one I swap out with won't fire, this bike seems incredibly sensitive to having wet plugs... doesn't take much at all... and it seems to really throw a fit on cold humid days. I've put over 700 kilometers on it in the past few weeks, and it was been mostly trouble free... except two mornings, each cold and humid... it just really gets an attitude on those mornings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
