The rubber-tip floats on my 02 Nighthawk 750 seem to have degraded beyond use. I can start the bike and idle/rev if I turn the fuel valve on (filling the bowls), and then off again. If the fuel valve is left on, one or more of the floats overflow and flood the bike out, cause exhaust smoke, sputtering, etc. What caught me off guard is that the nighthawk 750 doesn't have bowl overflow tubes, so the fuel just rises until it reaches the throttle bore, all my vintage bikes would just piss it out onto the ground. So, I have 4 new float needles coming, which I will install after cleaning the needle seats with alcohol and a q-tip. I will also clean out the petcock filter. Do you guys think anything else should be done? I'm going to try to replace the needles with the carbs still in the bike, I think a 90 degree screwdriver should get those float screws off. Thanks, Daniel
