Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.
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 been through what you’re going through, so persist. You can’t synch the carbs with choke open to full unless that means choke ‘off’. Check that #1 spark plug, is it wet, black with carbon, white? That will at least tell you what’s going on. If it’s wet, dry it off and try again. One minute with choke operation not long enough, did you try backing the choke off and seeing if that cylinder fires. I’ve fooled around for hours trying to get all cylinders running sometimes. Maybe that one cylinder doesn’t need choke, you just have to experiment in starting procedure a bit. The last Nighthawk I synced all cylinders ended up at 20 but it took a bit of tweaking. On Sun, Mar 17, 2019 at 9:09 PM Jenya Spektor wrote: > Few more inquiries about syncing. > 1.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.
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 order - today the number one is not working(the header is cold) while others are at 70* C after a minute of open choke operation. Should I let it run longer - this is the first time I am starting after a full and thorough clean. 2. Should I lean out the pilot screw more (right now is at the factory/manual setting) - the exhaust smells strongly of gasoline. Thank you guys!

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.
I sometimes remove the vacuum tube, sometimes not. I did a 700S Nighthawk last and just used the connecting adapter to the vacuum tube.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Carbs started leaking out of the blue.
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 into the intake tubes, for the number 3 intake, the vacuum tube needs to be disconnected first? Or is there another place on there? Not sure if the way I worded my question makes sense but I hope it does. Will snap a few pics to illustrate later on. Thanks all.
