The smell of gas might be that # 1 not firing and gas going right through.
Don’t know about leaning out the pilot screws or the consequences of
rejetting and airpods. Try turning the screws out one turn and see.

What about the fact that I have a bluish smoke and a strong smell of gasoline
coming out of the pipes? Not sure if I had mentioned, but I had installed
pancake air pods and rejetted the carbs accordingly. While the pilot screws are
at the factory recommended
One carb, you will not be able to adjust, # 3 in your case I think, the one
that has the vacuum tube. So that is the one you synch the other three to,
whatever it reads. The trick is getting it running fairly well at idle to
get a true reading.
Yes let it run longer to get #1 running. We’ve all
Few more inquiries about syncing.
1. The manual said to have choke open to full - is that correct?
2. Where does the needle need to point on the sync gage dial when the carb
pressure is correct?
In general (to my great frustration):
1. It’s weird but the damn carbs keep not working at a random
I sometimes remove the vacuum tube, sometimes not. I did a 700S Nighthawk
last and just used the connecting adapter to the vacuum tube.

Hey friends!
So I have cleaned everything, installed them on the bike. All seem to be
working (even thought #3 header pipe is not as hot as the others - measured it
with the thermometer). Now on to syncing - and a quick question about that. I
presume when inserting the brass adapters/extensions
You got that right!

I bought the HF ultra sonic cleaner. Used Simple green. Took off bowls and
removed jets. Also top half. Very easy. Did two carbs for 30 minutes the
flipped it and then the other two. Let soak and repeated it. Came out like
new. I also have a Valkyrie so I know carbs. It has six. I've done all

After finally getting those carbs back on the bike there’s nothing like the
sound of a 700S idling perfectly at 1100 rpms. Didn’t even notice that it
was 35 degrees in the garage. Went back inside the house and had a nice
cool Luigi’s Italian ice, mango flavor.

Jenya, since my last post here I removed the carbs on a 700S Nighthawk. The
same one I already removed the carbs and cleaned. Number 3 cylinder
wouldn’t fire so I removed the carbs again, blew out the slow speed jet
with compressed air and reinstalled the carbs. The bike runs fine now.

Of course this all assumes you have removed the tank and seat.

Its not hard to do, you just have to persist. I forgot to mention, before
touching the carbs you have to move the airbox back as far as possible.
That means removing the two 10mm bolts holding the air breather cover in
place. Maybe also removing the bolts holding the battery cover on since the

Here’s what I do Jenya. Yours is a CB650SC Nighthawk right or a 700S, same
process. Once you get the carbs out and the throttle cables and choke cable
detached, go out and celebrate. That and reinstalling is the hardest part.

Hi all - coming back to this thread. So I am about the get the carbs out
and start the break down process.
Few helpful hints for me if you please:
1. What is the best cleaner for the carb parts that works well and is safe
for the 36 yo carbs.
2. Once I clean and put it all together, is there a way

Too bad, I’m about 3 and a half hours away in PA..
so first of all, tap the carb bowls with a hammer or such in case the
floats are stuck. Then if the bike will run, start it up and run it for a
while, 20 mins or so. If carbs still leak, tap the bowls again. All this to
