Hello,
second post =)
I just picked up a black 83 CB550 SC Nighthawk for 950 bucks, pretty clean, recent paint job and new seat, will post some pictures once its warmer out. I do have a few issues i am concerned about, maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

 1. My Low beam and turn signals do no work. High beam does work. I have checked all the turn signal bulbs and they are fine. I should prob check the wires? Anywhere i can find a wiring diagram?

 2. One of my middle carbs is dripping fuel a bit, does this mean i have to get them rebuilt? Or would it be ok to ride for a little while like this? If i have to get them rebuilt is there a tutorial or a shop someone can recommend?

  
   That's it for now!

1. Check the fuses first.

2. Riding with a fuel leak is not safe at all.  Your best bet is to start by picking up a Clymer's or Honda factory service manual on eBay.
