Both your bikes are really nice. You’ve put a lot of time into them. I don’t mind the inline 4 carbs. Been doing them for about 12 years. On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 6:00 PM Darin Hatton wrote: > Must be a royal pain. The 2 on my silverwing were a piece of cake compared > to my 700 > > On Mon, Dec

Actually I prefer removing the carbs from a 700S. Easier than the EN500. I have an 86 700S. I have to clean the carbs on that next, again. On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 5:24 PM Darin Hatton wrote: > Guess you'll never know until you get it on the road, without cracking it > open. I know taking carbs

Water in crankcase is never good. Hope bearings and such aren't too bad. At least you only have to deal with 2 carbs and not 4. Got any pics? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Yep, for accessories I think. Now back to the carbs, they leak. They need o rings, gaskets. I was hoping to not have to remove them again but I will. This bike had been left out in the weather for years. Even had water in the crankcase On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 3:57 PM Darin Hatton wrote: >

Found it. One connection was incorrect under the seat. There are the rear turn signal connections, the brake lights, the tail lights and two floating open connections. I don’t know what they are for but the brake light connection was plugged into one of them. Thanks Darin. On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at

Check ground and 12v dc in socket with brake applied. If you have 12 volts where light plugs in to harness, that don't leave much On Mon, Dec 3, 2018, 3:36 PM Graham Rogers wrote: > I was hoping it is something like that Darin. The bulbs looked fine but I > replaced them anyway > > On Mon, Dec

May sound stupid but are you sure you have correct bulbs ? If you have current that far back I would suspect bulbs or the light socket itself. Should be able to use test light or meter at socket to see if voltage is reaching bulb when brake is applied On Mon, Dec 3, 2018, 3:28 PM Graham Rogers

The brake light is activated with a little button switch placed at the handle brake. The button is pressed when you apply the brake with the lever. Sometimes those go bad, you might need to replace it. Is a little black square thing, the same in almost any honda. Javier. On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at

Actually on some models the button is pushed when you are not using the brake and is released when you do use the brake. Take it off squirt some electrical cleaner in it and work the button. Test with a multimeter. If it isn't an open in one position and low resistance in the other, replace it.
