Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] engine stalling in a cross wind
Thanks for the exhaustive research. That is the second fix with tubes I've seen lately on the web. My tubes are all over 20 years old, and I need to replace them anyway when I get a new fuel petcock soon (my reserve does not work, and I better get one before they quit making them, although I think NH750 (91-03) parts should be available for the next 100 years :-) And thank you Duchene! Good Dx. On Monday, September 8, 2014 6:57:40 AM UTC-7, stray...@gmail.com wrote: Thank You , Thank You, Thank You !!! After putting the air tubes up in the frame ( still lower than the carbs _ and on either side of the air box ) all issues are now gone. FYI for those disbelievers, I took a few attempts at placing the air tubes in different areas behind the motor, I also made adjustments to the length of the lines. At one point I was able to induce the stall just by moving my foot on the peg their by changing the flow of air around the motor. That result was with the tubes hanging length at just above and just in front of the swing arm, which is pretty much where everyone else I spoke too had suggested they belonged. I now know that when the ends of the tubes are exposed to air flowing past the open end, the fuel flow is altered and the bike can just run a little lean or even “crosswind stall” I would still like to find out the factory placement for how they should be located but all manual/photos I have checked out don’t seem to address the location/placement at all. Thanks again Duchene you sent me in the right direction and saved the day :) Remember: Don't hurry thru life _ those that do seem to finish first !

I had the carbs worked on, when the bike was put back together the two air tubes that run off the carbs were left to dangle behind the carbs. They belong up and along the frame rails. When they point down the sidewind sucks the air out of them shuts the carbs. Hope this works for you too.

My 1984CB700S has a power loss when being hit by a cross wind. It's hard to say just how hard the wind has to blowing to do this, but the harder the cross breez is the worst the affect. Also i get a small loss of power when passing semi trucks as well. Has any one had a simular situation? I have an all stock bike should I look for a after market air box / filter ?

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 84 cb700s petcock
Ok, here is an update. CB350 petcock packing doesn't work this is part number 16955-268-020. I tried searching and searching and more searching and seems to be nothing out there (that I could find). The CB700s uses a 27mm disk with (4) 8mm holes. I received my used petcock, the knob isn't loose like mine however very dirty used part and wasn't sure if it would leak also. Ran it threw my ultrasonic cleaner, then drilled it out to gain access to the biscuit, this one is in very nice shape. I did find someone who said you can Flip it over and that seems to work. I myself have the biscuit and the flat o-ring that goes on the selector soaking in ATF fluid (another trick I've picked up in searching). I've drilled and tapped the holes for 3mm button head screws, will do another run threw the ultrasonic cleaner, give it a quick walnut shell blasting in the sand blaster. So with the cleaning, ATF soaking the biscuit and flat o-ring, plus the rebuild kit I hope to have a like new petcock that will work for years to come.

I would try a used one but not sure if this is common and will run into the same issue. There was a new one on eBay with all the parts for 200+ but missed. Seems there is no petcock bodies avalible anymore. Cant think of any other options -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! group.

There you go, BTW did you use any epoxy or silicon on the dime to ensure it doesn't leak fluid? Allen Thomas On Sep 9, 2014 8:08 PM, jman2343 jman2...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you. I didn't feel like waiting for the watch crystal so pressed (socket and hammer) the dime into the cavity for the site glass lol. Here is some a pic of the calipers.
