The choke is meant to provide a rich fuel mixture to a cold engine to help it start and keep running. When the engine warms up the rich mixture is no longer...
I am looking to buy a hondamatic Hawk CB400, CM400A, or CM450A somewhere within 500 miles of Minneapolis. Doesn't need to be pretty, needs to run and drive,...
I just bought a '78 CM400A with 4500 miles on it. I used to own one that was a '79 and had a little more than 8000 miles on it. I sware I can remember getting...
Hi Del, I think 66-68 miles per tank does sound low. The last time I checked, which was quite a while ago, I was getting a little over 90 miles per tank, on my...

Hi Tony, There is an error in the link I sent you. The correct link is: www.helminc.com My keyboard is acting up, and often does not type the letter e. That is...
I just got my 80 CM400A up and running. The two times I've checked the milage I was getting 50-53 mpg. The petcock had to be switched to reserve at around 90...
