Darin: Thanks - I hadn't looked there.
But now that I have looked there, there doesn't seem to be an owner's manual or a specific FSM for the 450SC NH.. I already have the FSM which is for the family of CB, CM 400 and 450 with specific addenda for the 450SC years. Don't remember seeing anything specific but I will look at the FSM again more carefully. Will see if that mentions anything specific to the 450SC for 1985.
