Dont Honda nighthawk 650 1983 have any fuel filter?
« on: January 14, 2024, 11:43:07 PM »
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?

Welcome aboard the forum

It has a  strainer in the tank above the petcock. When you remove the petcock the strainer can be so gummed in the tank with old gas you wouldn't believe it was there. It's called a strainer, it's plastic.

 I took apart a non-Honda bike recently with a perfectly good petcock screen and a decent looking inline filter but bad gas. The petcock and carb inlets (both sides of the filter) were packed with what looked like cement. Between my fingers it melted back to a goo but was the weirdest thing I've found in a fuel system.
 I ended up replacing the petcock with a K&L reproduction after repeated problems.
