    Hi all,

    I've got a buddy with a 1984 Honda CB700 Nighthawk that is having some carb issues.

    I would love to help, but I already have too many projects and I've never touched a Honda carb.

    Any suggestions? Is there a @hogfiddles of Honda somewhere?

    Thanks

    There is Randakks (check my spelling) , a business that I think does rebuilds as well as parts.

    Me. Pensacola carb doctor. it's on Google. I can do the carb job but here's the real question. Is it bone stock? Are the valves in spec? Any mods? Just slapping a new set of carbs in is not probably gonna be a magic cure.
    And carbs are carbs. It's not a big deal those cb carbs arent much different at all to an xj rack. I've took racks from a kz 650 and modified them to work on cb 650. I've deleted efi from 2 different Harley's and made them carbureted bikes. I've fit vm 34s to xs bikes found dead without carbs and turned them into flat trackers. It's not hard just pay attention to how it's all put together. But every bike out there is very similar
    Just remember suck squeeze bang blow
    It's all kinda the same really I've got 176 builds in. Countless repairs. You got this
