At the least I'd give it a spray carb cleaner/compressed air cleaning. Since you have them removed. Pay special attention to the pilot jets. Remove the mixture screws (don't loose the orings, springs, and washers) alternate cleaner and air until liquid easily sprays out of the 4 holes by the butterfly. Also pull the choke plungers and do the same. Soak the jets and emulsion tubes in chem dip. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

When I pulled the carb a lot of old gas came out of both float bowls, but the bike was parked since '86, so while the gas was old, it wouldn't have had any ethanol in it. I'm under the impression that might mean it won't have the same kind of gumming and varnish issues that I would have if it had sat for only 10 years. Do you think I should try to start it before I dig into rebuilding the carbs? or am I destined to have to do it no matter what and should I just start with that before I bother trying to start it? Am I going to need a rebuild kit for all the gaskets, diaphrams, etc? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
