why keep it normal 78 goldwing slow build...

[cbrianroll]

Lol, me too...I'm getting a little better finally.

 

[Nemi1596]

Yes Im definitely starting to understand a little more then last week lol

 

[Nemi1596]

I dont know how your cables are but I found this and this is a good website

 

[cbrianroll]

Nice, I've ordered from them before. Just recently for my cb. I will be getting new throttle cables in the future.

 

[Nemi1596]

Okay cool

 

[cbrianroll]

Not sure if you noticed at the goldwing forum but timing belts are very important to replace. Gl1000 motors are interference so bad things happen when they blow.

 

[Nemi1596]

Yeah I need to order those thanks for the reminder

 

[Nemi1596]

Do you know a good place to get them ?

 

[cbrianroll]

Oof....been a while, all I remember is I got the gates brand ones...

Amazon is the best price I've found for the belts. I replace them 1st thing on the 4 (5th was a parts junker) 'wings I've had. BTWm Comstar (78-79) wheels have the speedo drive on the leftm spoked on the right. The FSM has good assembly drawings of each. Also, follow it when mounting/tightening the bolts there is a sequence that must be followed and clearances measured at the calipers.

Dang, sat too long since running....number 2 cylinder not running.(cold pipe) spark at plug....time for my favorite thing....pull carbs lol. Oh...I have wire coming too..

 

[pidjones]

About the 4th or 5th time, removing/replacing the carbs gets to be just another job. Long hemostats from Harbor Freight help.

Ha #2 was my bad one and it was the float needle stuck closed.

 

[cbrianroll]

Lol. I'm pretty used to it now...this will be the 5th time on this bike. Hope it's as easy as a stuck float.

 

[Nemi1596]

I just hope I get lucky with my carbs but I guess ill find out tomorrow hopefully at least but I have rebuilt carbs so not that big of a deal

Just don't take the pairs apart and you'll be fine.

Its on the randaks but you can keep the 2 halfs either side of the plenum together and not bugger the linkages etc. You can strip the bodies in the pairs and clean them etc. Saves a ton of fiddly work.
