How did you clean them? I find a full disassembly of the carbs and a soak in carb cleaner dip (the stuff in the paint can) is best. If the pilot jet isn't pressed in I remove all brass and soak for 3 day ( the brass ) the aluminum bodies can handle 24 hours but longer soak times run a risk of pitting.
It's your first time so be patient when attempting carb work and expect to do it over. My guess is the pilot circuit is still clogged. Also avoid the temptation of putting wire into the holes of the jets, like torch tip cleaning wires, the soft brass won't like it. Remember the passages get smaller as the gas travels always reverse direction when using a blow gun and compressed air. In the case of the pilot circuit they are the small hole(s) at the bottom and behind the butter fly plates (throttle plates) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
