Dont Honda nighthawk 650 1983 have any fuel filter?

[tommygunxs]

I bought an Honda nighthawk who has been standing for 5 years in a garage, the old petrolium was bad so I drained it. I hope the carbureatar are fine (I removed the drain screw and nothing come out).

But I started to wonder, the fuel filter my be bad, but I cant find any? Is the fuel filter inside the petcock?

If you do a search online for "Honda nighthawk 650 1983 petcock" you will see that attached to the petcock is a long thin tube that goes into the gas tank. That tube is a filter.

If your bike had been stored 5 years, you should remove the petcock and clean that filter, make sure fuel flows through the petcock.

I don't have your model, but most of them flow fuel if you apply a very slight vacuum which you can do with your mouth and some 1/4 inch vacuum tubing.
