Restoring a Kawasaki z1B with fork seals jammed in so bad was thinking replacement forks may be needed. But saw your video and decided to give it a try. Like you said, a couple of goes with a hair dryer and within 5 mins they both popped out. Awesome work dudes !😀

Thanks, I been fighting this fork for almost a week, looked up plenty of videos, finally came across yours. It came out in three pulls, you deserve thousands of likes! 👍🏾

Randakks Cycle Shack in Florida has the center plenum gasket sold separately or with a complete kit. That center plenum gasket is no longer available from Honda. Randakks has it available for the GL1000 also. Look them up on the internet. No... I'm not connected with them just relaying information that's hard to find.

Excellent instructions- even I could follow the 👍

Thanks so much lads, I spent all day today trying to separate a fork leg and getting frustrated. Watched this, popped out into garage to apply heat and it came out within 5 strikes. Cheers from Scotland

Does 80-83 carbs all have the straw between the air box.

Hi there from Southern California! Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have a 1982 Honda GL 1100 Aspencade that will need this light duty process done to it. I’m enjoying all the videos you have posted over the years. Awesome job!

I was able to rebuild them myself thanks to you! Liked and subscribed. Question. What’s the best starting point with the idling adjustment (I think that’s what they are) on the bottom of the carbs (the one that look like a tiny flag) they are in carbs 2,3 and 4. Thanks!!

have an 80 and a 82 to rebuild. haven't done one in many years. thanks for getting brain tuned up.

I play it safe and use Honda coolant. It's not expensive and coolant doesn't need changing too often. Good job getting the dummy tank on and off. I always have trouble. I guess I need to be a bit tougher with it. After filling the rad it's recommended to fire up with the cap off for a few minutes whilst blipping the throttle a few times. The coolant level will then drop and bubbles will appear as the water pump expels inevitable air pockets. Then top up as needed until the level at the rad cap stabilises. Turn the engine off, replace the rad cap then carry on as per the video. After riding few times check the expansion tank (when cold) and top up if necessary.

When you show a video where you do Stator to Alternator Conversion

Great video, I would suggest using "anti seize" compound on those new bolts' threads. Dissimilar metals sometimes get crusty and stuck

Simple little maintenance job to do during the wait for spring riding season. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Great video! I love the fact that you’re showing how to change out a few essential parts without needing to split all the carburetors apart. This method even allows you to take out the idler jet and high speed jet for cleaning in the ultrasonic bath (I would definitely change the O-rings at that point). Do you suppose one could also change the fuel pump diaphragm without splitting the carbs?

Hi there, What's your service fee to rebuild carbs? If I send you the carbs would you rebuild them for me? What would it cost approx parts and labor. You are amazing with these carbs. Thank you.

If it looks like he is turning the screws the wrong way. It is because the video is showing backwards. Look at the backwards writing of words in the background.

Great video. Attention to detail. Thx

Подскажите пожалуйста, можно ли иглой в карбюраторе уменьшить подачу смеси в цилиндры.у меня Хонда голдвинг 81 г.в спасибо

After a rebuild do they need to be vacuum tuned

I put the tach cable on first then pushed the bolt in so far. Then fit it onto the engine. Putting heat to the seal was a great idea.

Did you go to school for carbs or trail and error.

Your very knowledgeable! We will give it a try? Great video! Thank you

Hey Kanuck, do you work on other peoples motorcycles. I have a GL1100 1981 with the exact carbs. I need them rebuilt. I have the unit off the motorcycle, and can send it to you .Just wondering if you can do this work? you seem very knowledgeable. Thanks

What do you do besides carbs

hello my friend, i'm Marcelo, from brazil, can you tell me what are the measurements of the high and low speed jets of the goldwing 1100 1980 carburetors? I await your reply, thank you very much!!

is that carb pretty similar to the 1979 gl1000?

Do you need the fork fully extended

Awesome nice shirt as well just inherited an 81 1100...

Hey good job and thanks for the video- I have a1980 gl1100 and your carb rebuild video was a huge help. Not the easiest bike for some repairs, but rewarding when you get it done because these bikes are so fun to ride, I really love mine. But pray you don’t have to replace the neutral switch as I did - not in a convenient spot on this bike! But can be done - made me want to keep the bike forever after that job.

It Looks Like You Are Turning some Screws to the Right to Loosen them. Are Some of the Screws Left Handed Threads ???

Excellent Very Informative Video. My "4-pack" has been sitting in a box ever since the dual throat Weber install on my 1100. I had to fabricate a plenum and runners but it was worth the effort. Thanks to you I have a carb project to work on. I have been negotiating to buy a "basket case" 1100 that has no carbs. I still have another dual throat Weber but building the plenum and intake runners was a lot of work. If I can make the basket run with stock carbs it will make for an easy sale. The rest of the missing parts are fairing parts.

So, did it fix your problem? You didnt show us the before or after, or comment on it. Just wondering.

EXCELLENT video on dis-assembling, re-gasketing and re-assembling these goldwing carbs. i just want to point out to those who may be resurrecting a bike for the first time ... if the bike has been sitting for a year or more with old gas in the bowls, the inside of the carbs will not look anywhere near as nice as this. the brass jets WILL have to be removed and cleaned, and all the passageways need to be thoroughly cleaned with carb cleaner. also, thanks for spreading the word re : JIS screwdrivers; they make working on japanese bikes much easier.

Great video👍 My tachometer cable of my GL1100 1983 also wobbles al bit and I was wondering how to fix that. So I'm very happy with your example of how to manage that little problem. Thnx from the Netherlands👊😎 (Could you do a video of cleaning the oil-control glass and make it readable? I know there is a little wiper on the inside which you can turn around with a screwdriver to clean that window, but I'm still not able to read the oil level properly. Tried to find an oil-dipstick but I couldn't find me a reliable one. Do you have a solution for that?)

Ojalá y me puedas ayudar gracias bro.

Hola. Mire tu vídeo tengo un problema en una golwind modelo 80 me pasa mucha gasolina. Alos escapes y al filtro de aire. No quiere prender. Y gracias de ante mano. A qui en donde vivo no ay nadie que le meta mano a esta tipo de moto

Why not switch to a Civic Type R engine?

Good day and good morning from Southern California! I appreciate the videos you set up. They help me out on my 1982 Honda GL 1100 Aspencade. Great job, no matter how simple the project. Thank you!

Thanks for an informative carb video. Your carbs seem clean whereas mine have been sitting with corn gas and will need extensive cleaning. Are there any parts that should be replaced if they've set-up for some time? Getting ready to do 2 sets for my 2 GW Standards. My other question is whether you've had any issues with rusty gas tanks and where you would get them boiled out and coated. My understanding is there are filters inside so the tank can't just be coated inside but needs someone who is familiar with GL1100 fuel tanks.

You should always pull the jets out and clean those as well whenever you are doing a full carb rebuild like this. The carbs may look clean but since you are already doing all the work it only makes sense to soak the jets in carb clean and blow the channels in the carb out with cleaner and compressed air. When you do this job on much dirtier carbs, those channels become very difficult to clean as well.

Graciss por la informacion

Great video. I just installed a new led light in the tach,but first ride the tach started making a horrible grinding noise. I’m going to clean the cable as you did and see if it makes any difference

I would love to see how you Synchronize the carbs with the bike running. Thanks for the great rebuild video. I will have to watch it 3 or 4 times so I don't do anything wrong. Thanks again

Awesome detailed video, Just what I needed. You nailed this video my man! Noticed you said you ordered from CT..... What is CT. I'm looking for a reliable parts source here in Canada.. Keep these Videos coming.

Nice Video, How much coolant does this bike take? Thanks

Fucken-A

Does this Carb rebuild also apply to a GL1000? I need to rebuild it on one I just bought

Great Video 👍. I truly appreciate these videos since I own the same kind of bike except mine is an '82. Is the movement of your tachometer smoother now?

Great Video! I should make a point of replacing my float needles this winter since I've had problems with fuel seeping into the cylinders in the past. I make sure to shut off the petcock every time I park but replacing the float needles would be a relatively easy project during non riding months here in snowy Quebec.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expert skills!

Where and how you've learned to do a rebuild on a complex multiple carb setup with such detail and explanations is beyond comprehension but I am VERY GRATEFUL you put this video up! It will be an invaluable resource when I need to rebuild the carbs on my '82 GL1100i A true Kanuck I see - RUSH t-shirt and all! Cheers from Montreal!
