Honda GL1000 Goldwing 1978 - Restoration - Carburetor Revisited & Setting Float Height - Part 7
This bike has been sitting idle for 30 years, it's time to bring it back to it's former glory.
This week I'm fixing a problem with my reassembling of the carburetors in part 5. I also forgot to set the height of the float, so I did this before fitting the carbs back on the engine.
Please consider giving this video a like and subscribe to my channel.
I'll be featuring more Goldwing content soon, and the work will hopefully be more interesting.
Like always, I will see you in the next video.

Thanks

Are you sure you have to Take the Line and not the top of the float??? That's What my manual discribes.

[@garagemade4422]

I had a read of a new service manual I've got and it seems your correct and it should be measured to the lower surface of the float. Looks like there will be another follow up video.
Thanks

You reading the CLYMER manual too? The wording IS confusing. I always write in these MISSING details. 21mm is EXACTLY the height of the floats when they HIT their HIGHEST point. I' m going to have the needle close 1mm before it tops out.

[@terrypage2078]

Float level is wrong,you measure from the lip of the carb not the mating surface and also it’s from the top of the float not the line on the float

[@grabir01]

What part showed how you are removing the jets? Ez outs?

[@garagemade4422]

I received the bike dismantled, so the jets were already remove. But the process is just the reverse of putting them together, first part shows this.

[@grabir01]

@@garagemade4422 ok. will go to part 1. Thks

[@joshbyrd4278]

The linkage on that carb rack lookslike it is from a 1975 Goldwing.

[@garagemade4422]

You could well be right, I was given a box of bits.
