I just brought thisbike a1980 Goldwing with a 1982 engine. The bike Idle at 950 real nice. At Idle I hit throttle it seem doggy and don't sound right like the timing is off. If I let the clutch to fast or a little hard sometime it will knock or ping like the timing is off. When the RPM get around 2500 to3000 RPM it run great and sound real good. The guy I brought the bike from put in new timing belts and rebuild the carbs and synchroice them. I took it to my mechanic and recheck the timing belts and the carbs and resnchroice them and he put in new spark plugs. It run about the same. I ran the bike about 150 miles and pull out the plugs and they are burning nice andclean. He told me that these older Goldwing run like this if so it something I have to get used of then:?
