Notice the innovative method of tool-using in this species of Nighthawk owner. Yes, we are a species all our own. I've used home made tools myself plus a few auto parts.

I found the plastic/nylon filter screen was twisted and buggered up inside the tank opening from previous owner attempting to fix it with repeated attempts to tighten the nut. Fixed it by fishing it out of the tank, trimming the damaged ends with fingernail clippers, then heating it with my Zippo and shaping it back to round by slipping it over the closed jaws of needle-nose pliers. Cleaned it, replaced 2 o-rings and reassembled it properly and it has been working flawlessly for more than a year now. Cost: less than 2 bucks. Never mind the hundreds I've spent scrounging Ebay for parts for other problems, however (!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
