I couldn't say, I haven't had that issue. I'm guessing by the lack of responses nobody else has either.

[Nighthawk Lovers] First new to me 750
Well, I found a deal too good to pass up. Runs a little rough, and started to Bob it out, but I have most of the original parts and plan to semi restore to stock. Can some one tell me correct battery? Currently it has a (dead) BB-14A2. But the drain hose is not on the correct side, methinks. I plan to put an AGM in there somdrain line obviously doesn’t matter. Runs ok up to about 6,500 RPMs then gets very rough. Won’t idle at all with choke off. Sounds like dirty jets to me. Can anyone rule out boots and slides with that info? Anyone have OEM turn signals in good condition they wanna get rid of? Anyone need a rough (paint) but clean inside gas tank? It came with a spare. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
