restriction from a private pilot license?

It depends on why the restriction exists.

If it is just a training issue, get the training.

If it is a medical issue, you have to show the restriction is not warrented,
and how to do that in turn depends on the medical issue.

Exactly how to do this would be better put to AOPA or at least include
the information as to why the restriction exists.

Student pilot who owns his own plane for training
and practical test. Plane is not approved for
night flight. Student passes PP test without night
checkout, but in the future would like to have night
privileges with other aircraft.

Just get the required night training in another airplane.

I take it that this was long ago as the FAA no longer does this except
in Alaska.

I'm not aware that its possible to receive a private pilot certificate
with a night limitation on it. During the student's training he is
required to receive night training. Thiis need not be in the same
plane as the students other training. Just rent a 172 with the CFI and
get the required training.
If the student has already passed his private than I can't think of
how he could have such a limitation on his certificate (perhaps some
odd Alaska rule or something??)

Currently this only happens in Alaska.

It used to be you could get a private without night privileges, but that
was changed some time ago.

Then, unless the administrator has made other arrangements, the
limitation would have to be removed by a DPE and a 8710 would have to
be filled out. A CFI cannot remove a limitation on a certificate.

True, but first you have to go to a CFI and fullfill the training
requirement.

The relevant regulation is 61.110 "Night flying exceptions" and is indeed
specific to Alaska.

Section 61.110 "Night Flying Exceptions" of the Federal Aviation
Regulations seems to provide the basic details. Specifically, 61.110(b)(2)
contains the basic steps needed to remove the restriction. Not sure if you
were already aware of that section but werelooking for additional
clarification on those regs.
