I know I'm just playing catch-up on 30 years of neglected maintenance, but sometimes it just gets discouraging. I got stranded for a half hour at the local chic-fil-a because all my gas had drained into the air box, thankfully not into the cylinders.
I know this because I removed the crankcase breather hose plug and about a 1/4 gallon of gas came out with only a little oil. This must mean two things: 1. My petcock rebuild did not work correctly. Gas should not drain into the float bowls if the bike is off. 2. I probably need new floats and float pins for my carbs. I had hoped so much that I would not have to take the carbs off this bike. Am I on the right track? If so, please provide any resources that you may know of to help, because at this point I have a track record for putting things together wrongly... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
