Welcome to here 
Do yourself a favor and use the real Honda Shop Manual that we have here for your bike, not the Clymer. It's OK for more pictures, but it's not as good as the Honda book.
Also check out the rest of the links in my sig, the info will save you and the rest of us some time.  |

I live right across the border from Kitsap County in Pierce County. Not too much of a stretch from you. I wish I was out riding, but soon enough! |

I'm also a new guy from Washington, in Maple Valley (SE of Renton). I picked up a 1982 750SC Nighthawk that needs a little TLC.
I just registered here and over on a Nighthawk forum. Looks like you guys have more technical information than they do. I hope to learn a lot here.
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum. |

Welcome Dave.
There is one of the most knowledgeable members of the board in regards to the workings and mechanics of these bikes, especially the carbs, right in your own back yard. |
