Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] CB550SC Nighthawk flooding
that was my first thought. I haven't tried switching them because the wires are stiff and seem to be going where they're meant to be - but I did consider that.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] CB550SC Nighthawk flooding
Sorry Graham. At least your getting gas. Air filter clogged? Mouse nest in the exhaust? (Is that better) ;-) If its flooding, and it is getting spark, assuming compression is decent, then it has to be in the carbs. Just double check your work, and set the fuel screws to 3 turns out. She'll start. Let me know how it goes.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] CB550SC Nighthawk flooding
Now that you mention it I think 1/4 and 2/3 are the coil pairs. Make sure you didn't knock a wire loose on the 2/3 coil. Assuming both cylinders are on the same coil, having them miss-wired wouldn't matter as the coil fires down both wires simultaneously.
