Hello All, I have a low mileage 2003 Nighthawk 750, its always runs a bit lean at start up, I use the choke for teh first 1-2 miles during a cold start, especially in spring, winter and fall, But it always runs fine after the first miel or so and I returnh it to normal choke=off position.
I was a away for a couple of weeks, I knew I had a bad battery cause the Battery Tender could not get it to a Full state, It may have been charging a couple of days like that before I noticed, OK, so then, I pulled teh battery twice and charged it via a normal Battery Charger, it would get to Full, I would put it on the bike, it did not have enough juice to turn the starter over, I did this twice, cause the 2nd time I added water to the battery and hoped that would help, get it started a few times so I could use it while a new Battery was being shipped. New Battery arrived today, put it in, Bike turned Over promptly (strong battery). Now, here is the issue, At Idle, the bike revs at about 4k RPM's, At Full choke, the Bike behaves just as if it was not choked and drives fine, Its almost like it was acting the opposite. I pulled the tank off, the covers etc again, The Cables to the carb seem to be fine, the Choke Diaphragms all move smoothly up and down, I could not see any binding anywhere. I ran my hand around the CARB and Airbox boots while it was running (I had no fluid) and could not get any idle rev reaction, even while grabbing the air boots etc. So, the Choke seems to be doing the opposite, did I burn out a circuit while charging or something? Any suggestions?? Thanks Foamy.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
