Hi, all,
What a great forum! I've already gotten huge amounts of information just scanning the threads already here!
Anyway, to the point.
I bought a '78 GL1000 this spring (30k miles), and it has what appears to be a fairly common problem, i.e., bad gas mileage + carbon fouled plugs = carb guck and/or bad air cut valve.
I have an air cut valve kit on the way and I'm doing the "drain carbs, apply seafoam" trick (Thanks!) but I can't get a straight shot at the left side carb drains with my screwdriver. I've slightly damaged the slots, but I hope that someone here has some tips on getting into the left side carbs before I totally bugger the slots up.
Thanks,
--Bob
