Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Running on three cylinders.
That's it. I saw bike bandit offers OEM jets for your bike. I would look at the slow jets too. They are in the middle of pic I sent. Main jet was still screwed into emulsion tube in that pic also.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Running on three cylinders.
The carb identification number is VE66 ERKB7. Does that identify it as VE66B, if so the service manual states that a 112 jet is required. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Running on three cylinders.
Took the carbs off today and dismantled them. Checking the jets, carbs 1 & 3 had 112 jets, but carbs 2 & 4 had 110 jets. Is that normal ?. I’m waiting for some carb cleaner to arrive from eBay, then I’ll give it all a good clean. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.

Back to the beginning. You already rebuilt these carbs right? You have spark on 2 and 4 right?

Nice score Tommy. I'm with these guys on the jets Nick. You could have very easily disturbed some small debris while removing and cleaning petcock.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Running on three cylinders.
And being #4 carb, try just removing the carb bowl, in place. You can do it without removing the carbs with a right angle Phillip’s screw driver or real short ratcheting phillips. With carb bowl off it’s easy to remove the jets, clean and put them back. Just put towel under carb to not lose anything. A telescopic mirror is handy as well.
