@@octanerestorations Jeff has this incredible ability to seek out medics who love motorcycles, but this love of Goldwings is something special ❤️hahaha. I’m sure I’ll be hearing about you or watching your channel! -Colin
Please, I need help if anyone can assist. I am looking for a pierce of hose that is no longer available in terms of OEM which is fine, but I am not even sure if I even need to replace this piece or if there is a work around. Part number 17703-MN5-010 which is number 16 on the diagram, all it tells me is 45mm. Honestly, I am completely new to the Goldwing and its had its ups and downs but I do really love it. Does anyone know what other options I have? Or maybe a place that provides this hose by the foot and I can just cut it down to size myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Soooooo thank you for the video but I have a question. Ummmmm….what if you suck at crimping and have wire showing? Is that going to be like a fire hazard or something inside the tank?
Normally no, the environment inside the tank is too rich to support combustion, not enough air! But you can solder the connections if you want! I would use shrink wrap around the connections which would help prevent any trouble. Loose connections do create spark and resistance.
@@octanerestorations Thanks for the help. Like many others fixing up one of these bikes, I want to be sure that the bike works before replacing the OEM pump.
@@adrianb1655 I understand that completely! An easy way to see if the bike has compression and spark is to spray a little starter fluid inside the air filter assembly and try to start the motorcycle. If it fires up even for a second, then you know it has spark and compression. If it doesn't, then there could be additional issues that is not fuel related!
