I think I will stick to my factory carbs

Music a little distracting and hard to hear what you’re saying. Otherwise good information

What is the model number of the vw carburator?

6.4.24. ☝🏼I found it best to unrack the carburetors from the airbox & take them down one by one and clean each with an ultrasonic bath. Then I use a soda blaster to finish up any corrosion on the outside. I know it’s a lot more work … but in the long run it’s a better solution, then you can get your eyes on all passages to make sure they are cleaned with brake cleaner or carburetor spray. I also buy my carb kits from Randakk. Again they are pricey, but he provides the best materials. Another good reason to pull them all the way down is that you can check the float levels & also the float needle and seats. Good video I admire your spirit in keeping your bike running as no one in the Dealership business generally touches these old relics.⚠️

Y tampoco se inglés lo siento

Y antes ke nada grasias tengo problemas con mi moto Honda goldwing modelo 86 motor 1200 para full injection edición especial aspencade SE-i no enciende no da chispa bujía ni pulso en los inyectores da marcha se oye la bomba de gas pero no enciende

Buen día soy nuevo en esto y ocupo de su ayuda

I did that a year ago I love my bike again after messing with those 4 carbs for years I could never get them tuned right. So I put the vw pic34 carb now it runs great.

Hard to watch with the music blaring in thr background

Hey how's that goldwing running? Just curious. I've got mine tuned pretty good finally. Thank you for the videos you did.

Please provide a comment, so others may need to research this to prevent a fire.

You ever get that Chicken WIng Runnin'?

I got 1200 sitting for 15yrs showroom condition but the carbs ! I will like to do the comvertion where do l get the kit?

Thank you for this!

hey i recently ordered some pict 4 carb jets off of ebay. i am running a size 35 idle jet and size 65 main jet and the bike idles and revs much better. i dont think the stock pict 28, 30, or 31 carbs come with the right jets, because changing the idle jet to a 35 has made it much smoother to idle and idle off response.

Bit of a fire risk there though. You need to work out what happens when the bike is moving. You might find all those clearances dissapear.

don't do it , terrible performance .

Thanks for the informative video. Very helpful.

The single carb conversion will never work nearly as well as properly tuned honda 4 carb set-up, watch a Randall Washington (Randakk) video.

I remove engine in 5 hours. Very easy.

My bike stays charged if I ride it but if I let it sit and idle it drains the battery

Nicely done

As you have one wire alternator and inbuild regulator so you don't need the external (original) regulator. Also you didn't connect any ignetion wire to your alternator. Is it protected when you fire the engine?

So what did you with the 4 hose's that come off each intake under the intake boot. I forgot about them and not sure what to do with them.

Update as of 21 Oct 23, still getting the hesitation during start off, adjusting the volume mixture did not help, today decided to increase the idle jet to a 65 which improved the response dramatically, took it on a test ride very little hesitation so therefore the hesitation is from the operation of the idle jet, I will either get a 75 or use my micro drill bits and bore the 65 out a bit more, will update again once completed if its not too cold here in Va.

Great video! Well done

Hi. Thanks for the video. You gave so much info and we appreciate it! I have done the conversion on my 84 and I have terrible idle and the low end torque is completely gone. I'm being told that I need to get some sort of heater for the carb before I even begin to try to adjust it. Apparently they ice up on the inside. Have you been able to get yours running? are you using heat? Thanks again!

Another reason why I love my’75 GL1000

ive been running 93 and 87 in mine for a while never noticed a difference so i use 87. i have heard of others using rec 90 marine grade fuel. i have had problems with those 4 carbs on it originally with the jets with fuel additives. nice alternator btw!

Goldwings are all 87 Octane, you are wasting money, and that is making it hard for the Spark Plugs to fire, the low Compression engine cannot handle 91 Octane.

from what I hear with headphones, one cylinder is not firing all the time. Check the plugs for the same color

The two carburetors I used was the EMPI H34 PICT 3 and the Solex H30 PICT 3, I found myself going back to the EMPI carb which had less jets to be concerned about, the SOLEX has a Idle Jet and a Auxiliary jet beside the idle jet which I was not familiar with, but I did use the jets from the SOLEX for testing but went back to the 55 idle and 127,7 Main jet. When adjusting make the turns slow and wait for the response from the engine.

Update as of 1 Oct 23, switched back to the EMPI 34 PICT3 and changed the idle jet to a 50 and the main jet to a 120, no better performance would idle and had to pump the throttle to get the rpms up it would run fine and smooth at 3000 rpms but idling was again erratic and not stable, 4 Oct 23 changed the main jet to a 55 and the main jet to a 127.5 and will start the Bypass screw 2 turns out and the idle jet 2.5 turns out and adjust again to get the needed response for idle and higher rpms.

what jet sizes are you using? i have the same carb on my gl1200 came with same 60,55 jets. bike runs way too rich with either idle jet. this carb is for a 1600cc motor. should i try a 45 or 40 idle jet to run leaner?

I did this conversion as well 3 weeks ago. Gl 1000 1978 bike runs great .l did not turn any screws for first week let the seals swell gaskets.only had to adust accelerator pump.gets solid 35 mpg😊

Just an update, installation complete! I had to play around a bit to get everything lined up correctly, but thanks to you, the bike is running great and charging the battery like it should. Thank you G. I am grateful for all your advice and patience.

Thanks for showing how you did it.

What about the vacuum line to computer did you end up using it or did you discontinue it

Im sorry to bother you ,but first time i changer coolant filter but forget turn this valve off before open filter and right now it leak behind the pump ,so how can i reset the shut off coolant valve ,i appriciate it.😢😢

Update as of 12 Sept 23, I installed the Solex H30/31 PICT, it was easier to tune but still the hesitation during riding, I found a way to adjust the carb while riding and I screwed the bypass screw counterclockwise adding more air to the system and the hesitation ceased but the rpms at idle went to 2000, was advised to starve it of fuel to lower the rpms, will update again after further adjustments, still have faith in the one carb system.

Update: as of 3 Sept I received info that the 134-3 carb is the wrong carb for the 1200 conversion and was advised to install the H30/31 PICT Type 1234 for Bug, Bus Karma Kia 1500cc Beetle VW, which I ordered today on eBay, carb will arrive to me 9 Sept, I will update again on this installation with the new carb, recommend those to hold off on the 134 EMPI 3 Carb conversion until after my update after 9 Sept.

I put out a video of your conversion of the alternator. Hope all is well go on TH-cam and look for poorboy GL1200 conversion. It's all manly involving your conversion. Thanks bro.

As I stated in my previous comment I changed the 55 idle jet to the 60 idle jet, Well the desired operations was still not met, so I replaced the 127 main jet with the 130 jet that came with the carb and things seemed to function much better so change both jets if received with the carb. I then redid the jet settings from zero, small idle jet 2,5 turns and the bypass jet 2 turns out, the 2.5 turns on the idle jet was running a bit rich, so I went to 3 turns out, adjusted the idle down to 11-1200 rpms and it was a bit jumpy on the gauge, took it for a test ride and the operation improved the more I rode it, stopped and did a few more adjustments on the volume jet turned it off and let it sit for a few, restarted it and it ran super smooth, for those with the 1200 take it for a ride so the carb can get use to the needs of the cylinders and adjust as needed, also there could be machine shavings still in the carb that needed to be cleared out for the jets to work properly. Would do a video on this but an explanation allows everyone to read what they need to know. Again great move to this conversion and will not look back, I will give my old carbs assembly to anyone wanting it, plus the extra set I brought last month for FREE, pickup or pay for shipping. Again THANKS for WATCHING

I have an extra center spacer/bushing thing (at 22:47) if you ever decide you want to switch it out.

An additional note while trying to dial the carb in for a smooth idle with the 55 idle jet, it does not dial in for use with the 1200 engine, I switched out the 55 Jet and replaced it with the 60 Jet and the smooth idle was achieved. More notes will be applied as discovered.

One correction on replacing the main jet, it is screwed all the way in and Not backed off 2 turns like I stated, sorry for slip of tongue.

The clicking is normal on the fuel pump Max , mine clicks about once every 6 seconds and is normal . If i forget to turn the petcock on it will click faster when its starving for fuel is what I notice ....The problem with your bike max is you need raise the needles with a # 4 washer and it will cure your problems , see my other reply below Good Luck

What was the length of the bolt you ended up using? There's a bolt place near me. I may do the same thing you did (that was smart using a piece of bamboo for max length) so it's long enough. Great vid!

Great series. Very helpful. After watching these, I can do it!😀How well does your lower fairing on the left side fit with the alternator in place?
