Hi Graham (and others),
This is one of the 28 NH-S bikes I told you about. I think I even
mentioned that I had 2 that still were sitting where I bought them
(this is one of those 2). I still have a 700-S (# 28) sitting in
Rockford IL, which I need to get shipped here. The current bike we are
discussing is # 26, and #27 is the one I've been riding this summer.
Getting hard to keep them all straight, and still need to sell several
of them.
I spend most my time working on house things to do with the fire, and
the little spare time I have, gets sucked up really fast with these
bikes.
I bought this 5K mile bike SPECIFICALLY because it was suppose to look
and run like NEW, and not have any issues/problems (plus I'm a sucker
for low mile 700-S bikes!!!).

Hi Joe, I'd bet you have to clean the carbs again unless a mouse
built a nest in the air box and you've got no air going through.
What are you doing with another 700-S. You never got treatment did
you and you failed to show up at the Henry Ford Clinic. Joe, Joe,
Joe ....

This past spring I bought another 700-S Nighthawk,a nd finally
got it
delivered a few weeks ago. Bike has only 5K miles on it, and
obviously
spent most its life sitting in a garage in North Carolina. The
person
I bought it from, bought it off the original owner, and then sent it
to a Honda Dealer to have LOTS of things done to it (invoice was
around 2G), including: tires, fluids, tune -up, as well as complete
carb overhaul w/ many new carb parts...
Bike was only ridden around the block after that, and then he
sold it
to me a few months later. Bike sat for another few months until I
had
it shipped up here to me in Cleveland.
When I fired it up, it barely started (backfired, and ran like crap,
and one cylinder was not firing (cold head pipe when running). I
cleaned plug on dead cylinder, and re-fired, and all 4 were then
running.
Bike will only run with choke all the way on, and will not take any
gas/throttle (stalls instantly if throttle is touched, or choke is
reduced from full choke)
I figured carbs had already gummed up (or got dirt in them), but
decided to try SEAFOAM, since everyone here has good things to say
about it. I put an entire can of Seafoam into tank, and have ran
bike
several times in the past 2 weeks, to get the Seafoam into the
carbs,
and hopefully do some good.
Bike still barely runs, and Seafoam doesn't seem to have made any
difference. I have never used Seafoam, and am wondering if it works
quickly, or needs to be in there for many weeks/months before
results
can be seen??
Anyone got any other ideas, other than pulling the carbs off, and
going thru them again??
Thanks! Joe
