CT's closed here for the foreseeable, NOW things are getting real

 

[Maritime]

Shit really. WTF will you do 4x a day LOL. We're good here as hardware type stores are deemed essential at least for now.

 

[Jimbonaut]

I take it back - they're still open. Mixed messages on their website but damn, thank god. I find myself ambling towards CT even when I'm not sure what I need, come to in the oil and paint section with a violent shudder and buy stuff on autopilot.

Pinesol blue magic and elbow grease and they are good enough.

These were done while spending quality time watching Anne with an E with the wife. Only way I could do it was to have something else to pass the time

 

[Jimbonaut]

Damn mate they look great

If you have some silicone grease, it will ease installation of the boots (that, and warming with a heat gun).

 

[Maritime]

Thanks Pid. I have a question for you, on your 79, how many turns out did you do on the mixture screws? My manual is for 75-76 and it says 1 3/4 for 75 and 2 for 76. I went 2 full turns but need to check my clymer to see what it says. since your bike fired up nice I figured I'd ask you.

 

[Maritime]

Looks like 2 is the right start according to randakk.

“Late” GL1000 Carb Series

 

[pidjones]

Sorry, been sanding and priming and Bondo glazing all day.

2 turns, then if manufactured after December '77, do the "idle drop" procedure. I agree with Randakk that it is an unnecessary emission procedure, and that they should be set afterward for best idle.

 

[Maritime]

Thanks

Arrived today: $13 cad shipped. Should be fine.

 

[Maritime]

Now if only the taillight and seat woukd get here

 

[Maritime]

Back in with new fuel lines and filter.

Got oil and coolant drained and hoping to get rad out of way and belt covers and valve covers off tonight. Polish those while watxhing tv with fam and belta swapped out tomorrow. Then I just need tail light and seat and I xan ride

 

[Maritime]

Well it was decided we were going out for ice cream drive through so done for the night

 

[Maritime]

We're here now. I dont think Ill pit the crash bars back so Im gonna need to figure out a new spot to mount my spark motor LED assessorie lights. Anyway right belt is a bit lose and looks questionable. Thats why we change the belts often.

 

[Maritime]

Coolant was clear as can be. I drained it into a clean jug and think I can reuse it. Its only a season old. I can top off with the rest of the container I bought to do the last flush and fill.

how old are they?

 

[Maritime]

how old are they?

5-6 years, the date sticker fell off and the sharpie faded. I did them just before my crash in 2015 or maybe 2014. They have less miles than usual on them but are for sure at the age to be changed.
