1500 carb rebuilders

imported post

they are alot easier than the 1100's or 1200's. but if you don't want to mess with them, there are alot of qualified people here.

i can rebuild mine but as to someone elses? are the slides good? what year model? are you sure its not a vaccum leak?

that don't really matter but i have some off of 89 i bought from ebay that i can rebuild and send you. later years have different vaccum lines.

do you have kits or need someone to buy them?

just a few questions someone may ask you.

and so you will know, i clean mine in 3 gallons of carb cleaner, rinse them off, then i boil them on the stove.

has worked great 3 times already.

OK, here's a new one for me. Some back round first.



I just bought this 88 GL 1500. I'm not new to bikes or fixing them as I've had a new 1979 Honda 750K (which I still have in Fla), andI have a 2006 Harley Ultra Classic. I bought the Goldwing on a whim becauseI wanted to feel the difference between that and the Ultra. The Goldwing was acting kind of weird when I got it, at an idle I had to use the choke or it would stall and then it would not rev over 3000 RPM while driving, than it would run fine for awhile.I checked the fuel pump and it checked OK. I took the carb off, took it apart and put it back together. I started it and the right carb would flood over the top. So I took it apart again figuring that I did not get the needle right. Put it back together, same freaking thing. TOOK IT APART AGAIN!!! Sprayed carb cleaner down the hole that gas was spilling out from and saw that the other end was inside the float bowl and coming out of the main jet. That made no sense to me.



I ended up finding the problem. I want you all to guess what it was before I confirm it.



By the way. After riding the Goldwing for the comparison to the Harley all I have to say is HOLY CRAP!!!! the Goldwing is so far advanced it's ridiculous, and the Honda is over 20 years old.
