I think they all need to warm up with the choke on before you can give them any throttle. Backing out the pilot jet screws to 3 turns helps. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

The only group around that I could find then was the Yahoo Nighthawk group, so I went to find my early posting over there. (I can't believe I've had my Nighthawk for that long. ) The explanation given to me was: "You're going from lean to leaner and exceeding the stoichiometric requirements for combustion." (In short, if the main jets are blocked when you open the throttle, you're increasing the amount air, without increasing the amount of fuel ... so, no bang. -- that was from Lou Medina) Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
