If the bike sat for a while or it gets used infrequently the carbs could be gunked up. You shouldn't need the rebuild kits. Just be careful not to cross thread the screws and especially the pilot jets. Usually you sync then tune. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Didn't get it perfect but that sucker is clean inside and out, it's gonna feel good replacing it and putting in a new oil filter and fresh oil (gonna try out some Valvoline full synthetic 10w-40 this time). So Im assuming that the (possibly) cam chain noise Im hearing isn't a huge problem? I read on Paul's website someone said that resetting it can help? Is that possible on an 85' 650? Also the guy Ive been working with was talking about synching the carbs, should I clean them first? What about getting the carb rebuild kits, is that only done if necessary and not bother? I wanna get her running as smoothly as possible because as of now she seems to be struggling a lil at idle even warmed up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
