I'm late into this conversation - but have you gotten all four plugs out and seen them sparking when the engine's turning over?
Basically, you pull the plugs out of the engine, then plug them back into the ends of their wires and then arrange them in such a way that their spark ends are touching the engine - and then crank. All four should be throwing good sparks when you crank. Dennis G.

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Tech help: clicking sound when trying to start up Update: It's turning over, man it wants to start I can hear it. The turn over cranking is not laboured or slow, it's fast and always sounds like it's just about to start. Time to clean the carb, I'd guess? Oh, and will it start with one exhaust pipe off? I have the other pipe, it's just disassembled from the engine itself. Does the pipe help with compression at all?
