Lucky. I just picked one up and struggling to get good spark. New coil, points, everything clean and still poopy. Thinking maybe condensor or its a bunk new coil but idk
Would have been helpful if you moved the camera some to show things like attaching the shaft drive rather than leaving it sitting where no work is visible.
Yeah or prefilling the bone dry carburetor bowl instead of waiting for the mechanical pump to pull fuel through dry everything and fill the bowl. As it goes, hindsight is 2020. No sticking though. Still using that starter and have done nothing at all to it
@@DustyDingus It sounded like the starter clutch was sticking on the over run. when you were blipping the throttle it was whining each time the Engine slowed to Idle.
If I didn't care about being mean spirited, I would say, " man, you need your head examined" ! Do you really think that bike not starting right away is 'okay' ?" Instead if continual cranking, why NOT STOP ?!! And look for the problem ? There most certainly IS ONE, when you crank, & crank, & crank, & it doesn't start ! Drive me nuts ! Go over stuff, will you ? Find the problem, & correct it, so the damn thing will start reasonably ! Thank you !
did you know that if you start the bike and lean it over to the right you can check the timing with a timing light, and not get blasted by the oil inside the stator case.
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to explain the procedure, importance about draining the fluid, changing the reservoir, and part numbers.
Definitely not lol dry empty fuel system with a mechanical pump and I'm still using that starter. Maybe should've prefilled the bowl in hindsight but no, petcock was open 🤣
So mine does the same exact squeal (not the grinding noise yours also had) but has NO leak present on either fitting. I noticed your bottom hose had gunked up oil due to possible leak. So my question is, can the pump make this noise without a leak and the o rings be causing the noise? Or does there have to be a leak for the rings to be the culprit of the noise? Thanks in advance
07:50. That would have been a nice experiment to cut into that reservoir to expose that filter mesh. Why? Just to see how if the flow of the liquid was hampered especially when dirty. Great video with no cursing and no unnecessary rambling.
Changing the O-Rings did it for me. (They were flat on two sides) Stubby 10mm absolutely needed, but it took me less them 10 minutes to replace them. Thanks!
Back in 2001 I put a single Holley carb kit on a 78 GL 1000. I let people talk me into doing that, because they said I would never be able to clean and adjust stock Goldwing carbs properly. That's hogwash of course and I shouldn't have listened. I had already been very successful in rebuilding carbs for many different Jap bikes - dirt,street, singles,twins and inline fours. I was doing that as a side business for a while. However the single kit did work acceptably well on my Wing , but still not as good as stock carbs which are clean and adjusted properly. I'm not however disparaging anyone who wants to do the VW carb conversion. It's definitely easier to tune, and basically a quicker fix, but there are some minor performance drawbacks. Now I have recently purchased a 1980 GL1100 that's had a very long garage nap, and I'm absolutely going to rebuild the carbs myself. Happy riding folks!
Thanks a bunch. Worked on that elusive screw under the plastic pipe fitting for a few minutes and was really struggling. Stopped the video at 12:47 and saw the wrench and your angle and was able to pop the screw in 2 minutes. THANKS!!!!
Honda* and mine runs great! Over 7k trouble free miles in all ranges of weather up to 14k feet without missing a beat. Lazy had nothing to do with it, don't be so stupid. Millions of 4 cylinder boxer engines ran their whole lives on one carb, there is such a thing as over engineering and I have no regrets going with this setup.
