Well - it's been years since my '88 has been fired up - and I'm ashamed to admit it. 2020 hit with lock downs - so Paul and I decided we were going to get both hawks going again (he has a '91). I was making progress cleaning the carbs and coating the inside of my tank - but then life happened and the carbs sat disassembled. Paul's too - but worse, his diaphragms had tears and he still needs to coat his rusty tank, too.
Fast forward to a friend of ours who loves to maintain vehicles of all sorts who needed a project between projects and offered to get our bikes going. He's been texting me some questions, so here I am, logging in here again after being away for so long looking at the Jetting Database and trying to look for reasons why I only have a pull cable on my throttle (remembering vaguely that I was told most people get rid of the push cable - and found many posts about it!), and just general Hawk quirks. We'll see how this all goes...
Anyway - being here brought back some fond memories of WHCRs and all the help from you all!
Hi to melmsrt4 (who seems inactive for a few years), jspeed53, nomoduc, 88Honda Hawk, danny, behindthetimes, SPA , F14, SSSA, da Hawkster, and all the rest who have been part of my decade long hawk journey - good to see your user names again!
