I have to say, that bike is looking so much better now, especially the motor, its looking almost like new, kinda makes me think that it'll be running well!
Also - for the air box installation, open the end cover and remove the filter and reach your hand inside: you can often reach and set the boots from the inside... really helps if your bike's airbox allows for it! Cheers!
Hi andy.love ur videos.ur not up yourself like some.re carb float post broken .bought dr600 years ago(still have it) & carb post was broken & i very carefully drilled post & base & wired it withh s/s wire & steel weld metal epoxy lasted a number of years before carb wore out.find this epoxy works really well.take care andy & thx again
Andy - a little lubricity goes a long long way mate. A little lubricity is far better than waging war with carburettor manifold housings or air-box installation. A little lubricity is great on wheel nuts too - just choose your lube accordingly, er, um, as I am sure you do ;-)
I for one like the ending,it's a GS it'll run ! My GS 750B needed the air chamber plate removing before i could fit the cam cover,it gave me loads more space to slide it over the camshafts,heat guns really are vital when fitting some carbs and airboxes,i was told by a Honda tech that on a CBX 1000 even if new carb rubbers had been fitted you still need to warm them up to get the bank of 6 carbs to pop in all at the same time,i followed his advice and it worked perfectly. Best of luck with the final tune up Andy.
Putting carbs back on the boots are the worst. I have a couple 2x4 cut to length and one as a lever makes it alot easier and dose not damage the bike and carbs.
The seals for the airbox end caps are not available. You'll have to fab some from closed cell foam. Here in the 'States we call it "weather stripping", the stuff we use to seal windows and doors. Also, at about 15:00, that airbox is next to the carbs, not on them. I think you're dead on about the length of those intake pipes.
Wow....the ending Andy....how could you? On a different note, its been 37 years since I sold my GS1000 and when you held up the spark plug, it flashed in my head like a thunderbolt...NGKB8ES. Obviously something wasn't right or you would have let us hear that baby sing.
Andy...Whoever sent you this bike....was sure you`d have a mental breakdown before it ran correctly.Confident the valves are all the the same on the 2-valve 1000`s.Pre-80`s heads...Wow....Increased vacuum from the smaller port diameter....You have A Frankenstien bike there....Guess we will all have to wait and see! ..Cheers
Hi Andy another good vid. I was at Stafford Classic Bike Show on Sat and Sun, I believe one of the biggest shows in the world, so of cores the Basket Case t-shirt was adorned on Sat and Stoner on Sun. had a great time as always. I think you would have enjoyed the show it especially as Alan Millyard had a collection of his bikes there and over the 2 days took them into the paddock and started them.My mate asked what I would do if I seen Matt, I said I would walk up stand quietly beside him and utter the word C__T, I said I honestly think he would laugh as I would and possibly shake my hand. He follows our rift and said NO he hates you and would kill you.Watching you fitting carbs and air box's was torture, I do what you eventually did and use an airgun and a smear of silicon/ rubber grease or fairy liquid as long as there is no fuel in the carbs. THATS THE WAY I DO IT lol.Fitting 6 carbs are a nightmare!
Mate how could you end there??!! Re air box, why not undo the mount for the box, push it all the way forward then cut a couple of extension plates so you can do the mount up again. It's easier than taking those carbs off and on again! Enjoyed the video as always.
Not sure how the GS1000 hoses (trumpets) fit into the airbox but have they been pushed too far in? Looked at pics of the hoses here www.z1enterprises.com/airbox-hoses-4-gs1000g-gl-80-81.html Are they a 2 piece affair with the hose sliding inside a grommet?
I came because of The Workshop, I stayed because of Andy
And that’s why we only have one Willy. Getting four carbs in at once is truely a trial.
I have to say, that bike is looking so much better now, especially the motor, its looking almost like new, kinda makes me think that it'll be running well!
Loved the tense music putting the cover and carbs on ,great video thanks
Great set of videos - thank you for filming and sharing! I am going to change my GS-1000S cams and your video series is a huge help! Cheers!
Well I definitely fell off that cliff hanger
Also - for the air box installation, open the end cover and remove the filter and reach your hand inside: you can often reach and set the boots from the inside... really helps if your bike's airbox allows for it! Cheers!
You sir, are an utter bounder and a cad with that ending 😂
Arrrrrr. You rotten bugger! No “happy ending”
Over here the call it the money shot
Bit of a tease at the end, you rogue! :)
Good work Andy can't wait for the finished product and Maroon my favourite colour smashing.

bloody good filming andy, bang on mate.
Great vlog Andy but for the cliffhanger. All the best, Stevie
I was in the process of writing, warm them bloddy rubber's up! Then you bloody did!
Last time I had to fit a set of carbs on a bike with new boots I ended up using two bits of wood and a small portapower ram 😂
👍 Great work as always
Sat here willing her to start and .............. good one looking forward to the next episode Andy .
Well played sir!

Only been able to watch the first few seconds so far, but I must say, I really like the new intro sound!
Sounds like a proper motorcycle.
It's Basket Case
@@ANDY5
Sounds way better than that Harley clip you had on before. 😘
You got me. Now I have to wait😂
Top job mate.
Flaming tease!
I for one like the ending,it's a GS it'll run !

i bought some fork gaitors for my gs850 52mm id and cut them down to fit in airbox worked a treat and nice and pliable too
G'day Andy, you are such a tease.....
Your new patreon list is like a million times better! I will actually read the names and not scroll forward! ;-p
Oh man I wanted to hear it go!!!
Putting carbs back on the boots are the worst. I have a couple 2x4 cut to length and one as a lever makes it alot easier and dose not damage the bike and carbs.
Thanks for your return, I've missed your vids.
Andy you sonofab*** that ending... :P
Greetings from Florida
The cliff hanger was perfect 👌
Ride safe
Crap,,I waited for how long to hear this bike,,,,oh well I'll wait like everyone else.
The clutch cable should route up between the #1 and #2 inlets. That doesn't look like an OEM cable. So, do what you gotta do.
Yeah this cable is too short
The seals for the airbox end caps are not available. You'll have to fab some from closed cell foam. Here in the 'States we call it "weather stripping", the stuff we use to seal windows and doors.

Wow....the ending Andy....how could you? On a different note, its been 37 years since I sold my GS1000 and when you held up the spark plug, it flashed in my head like a thunderbolt...NGKB8ES. Obviously something wasn't right or you would have let us hear that baby sing.
Dammit dont do that,,,,,,,,,,,,, Hee,hee looking good Andy.
You rascal was all excited to hear it run Andy.
Sure! Leave us hanging!
Nooooooo!!!!!!!! You’re a very very cruel man Andy 😂 really looking forward to the next episode. Let’s hear her purr.
Andy...Whoever sent you this bike....was sure you`d have a mental breakdown before it
ran correctly.Confident the valves are all the the same on the 2-valve 1000`s.Pre-80`s
heads...Wow....Increased vacuum from the smaller port diameter....You have A Frankenstien
bike there....Guess we will all have to wait and see! ..Cheers
Haha, it run's well maybe
Dude! WTF!!! I've only experienced 1 worse cliff hanger than that and that was from Rob Dham starting his 4 rotor! Touche my friend touche👌😂😂😂
Nooooooooooo !?!
Did it fire up... Did it????
Aaaaauuugghhhhhhhh....... 😕
That music....haha.
Adding a little suspense to your vids, good one....

You lucky bugger, I’d love to see Alan’s work first hand

What happened? Was there an explosion....?
Fresh upload, choppy as shit but still good to see it coming together.
It's like watching a porn movie all this grunting and thrusting 😂
With no happy ending
Well I was pretty fucked by the end of it
Remove and unwind two or more Jubilee clips completely! Warm rubber manifolds,ram on carbs then reconnect Jubilee clips 👍 Will she did she?😟
I'm new to your channel and you are part of my YouTubing diet now.. Love the cliffhanger :)
Welcome mate
Well . . . looks like a seized engine is on the cards, ya never filled the oil ! ! ! !
I maybe an idiot, but I’m not that stupid 😂
You know your audience. A cliff hanger! lol
Son off a .............
KABOOOM! lol!
Not sure how the GS1000 hoses (trumpets) fit into the airbox but have they been pushed too far in?
Looked at pics of the hoses here www.z1enterprises.com/airbox-hoses-4-gs1000g-gl-80-81.html

Bugger
