I also have an 82 nighthawk currently equippec with pods. They have been a challenge to say the least to get tuned right. I currently have carbs off for cleaning. I work in a custom fab metal shop so i made me some large washers so to speak to go in the pod to cut down the air. Seemed to help. Anxious to get carbs back on as i have bypassed the air cutoffs. Good luck with the pods friend they can be great but ooo they can be not so great!
