Okay, you had the carbs rebuilt but did you have them vacume sinked? Failing to do that would directly cause poor milage, hard starting and rough idel. You have to sink them while they are on the bike and the bike running. Hope this helps.

The floats could also be at the wrong level, giving the motor either a lean or rich condition.

What is the color of the plugs? Can you post a picture?

So what kind of mileage are you getting? It helps if you can give as much info on your bike as possible for any of us to make somewhat educated guesses as to your problem. How does it run? Smokin, (the bike that is), normal power, decent idle, what do the spark plugs look like? Can you smell gas around the bike either parked or running? Those kinds of information would help a lot.

Welcome, fellow Springfieldian. I wish I knew a little more about the carbs, I'd run over and help ya out. Anyways, these guys will probably get you on the right track. Gene's usually does a decent job, I have heard decent things from them. I am kinda suprised.

you are right. greg and bert are relly good people,and i meant no disrespect to them.but when i asked greg he said check air filter and when i asked bert he seemed angry.and i know he knows he stuff. as far as i know he is the best goldwingmech. around. so i left it at that, plus i want to learn as much about goldie(my 88 king wing) as i can. thank you for your reply,plese send my your e-mail adress @ [email protected] and maybe we can go on a ride.soon we will start our dinner ridesalso we ride somewere evey other saturday. thanks phillip duncan lake country riders.
