ASV (air suction valve) Removal?

[thebaywayceo]

First off I'd like to introduce myself to the hawk community. I've been wanting one for a while now and finally got one a month ago. I've been nothing but a two-stroke guy before this(all honda!!).

OK. I got as far as removing all the smog related equipment except for that ugly pump on the side of the motor. What do I do with the two metal tubes leading to each head? Do I cap them off or let them breath?

Welcome!

I am no expert on this, so hopefully someone with more knowledge will give you more specific info but... I got a 91 CA head from ebay that had ASV on it and the ASV pipe was welded shut about an inch down. I am thinking you will want to cap it somehow otherwise you will have an exhaust leak out the ASV pipe. I can send you a pic if that helps.

If the motor is still assembled just cap them off. If you have the heads off the motor then by all means give it to your local welder and have him close em up. I have a set of California heads that came from somewhere, (yeah they made it all the way to the east coast) when I get down to my welder I will have him close them up and after a little weld clean up they will be 49 state heads. By the way if anyone needs heads (or anyuthing else for that matter) let me know.

Awesome information JR.

thanks guys, I'll just cap them off for now. I'll post pics of the bike when I'm all done.

Sent you a PM JR.

Hopefully I can get some of those beautiful smog port block off caps !


And, this:
"Cap all of the smog control related fittings on the side of the
carburator that connects to the engine, using the plastic caps
provided. Leave all breathers on the air intake side open, i.e.,
vented to atmosphere."
.... is about as clear as Oatmeal.

I think I understand what they mean, but...

... it'd really help if someone could show me a picture of where the
"smog control related fittings on the side of the carburator that
connects to the engine" are located
And also, where the "breathers on the air intake side" are ...

Thanks All !

... I've been nothing but a two-stroke guy before this...

Me too !! Completely opposite power band, crazy compression braking, and say goodbye to bump starting it like a push-toy.

Glad to have you aboard.

Um... want to put up a visual tutorial of how you do this?

Dont forget:-
c) Replace the brass hose barbs in the intake horns with 5mm
bolts, reusing the aluminum crush washers removed from the
hose barbs.
These are located on the inlet manifolds on the underneath between the cylinders. Dont throw them away as if you ever need to balance the carbs with a vacuum tester just put them back in.

Drin-

Sorry, I haven't actually done the process myself. My first Hawk was a 49 state model, and the one that I have now came with the removal already done (poorly, just had to vent the float bowls and cap one other thing).

[drinmotoracer]

Oh it's all good... no worries I was more asking for other people b/c I won't be home for another 4 months anyways

What are the Advantages / Disadvantages of remove California emmision equipment?

Should I quit that shit? (all the hawk pics I see anyone have this vacuum thing on the left side).
