Good afternoon. I am a long time Gold Wing owner, and have a 'situation.' I became disabled after being injured while flying with the U.S. Coast Guard. I have rehabbed enough to be able to ride, but my 1994 Aspencade has been sitting for a couple years without being ridden or started. I've tried the gas additive hoping to get the sticky junk unstuck, but I'm now in need of real maintenence for my bike. I am not able to tackle it myself anymore, though I wish I could. Is there a Wing riderin the Seattle/Issaquah/North Bend corridor that might recommend someone? When I first moved here from my last duty station in Sacramento, CA I tried I-90 Motorsports, but the bike just didn't really run smoothly, so I was hoping for two things; I was hoping not to have to spend another thousand dollars to get it running, and I was hoping to help someone who needed the work. I so appreciate any assistance you might offer. This site is such a gold mine!

Put that wing on a trailer & bring it here to me. I cant get over there. Try some choke when it dies out just to see if it reacts well to that. It might give us more insight as to what is really going on.

It would also be awesome if you were in a position to swap carbs with a wing that runs well just for a test.

while its cold pour some water around the gasket areas of the intake tubes or the plenum area & see if it chokes on water because it almost acts like a vacuum leak as well as a plugged low speed circut.

plug gap is also important for a strong spark as well as good plug boots because of their internal resistors.

Unthread your plug boots & look at the center core wire for corrosion. If they look crappy, snip off just a lil bit until you see shiny wire. Than re thread your plug boots & try again.

what is the color of your plugs?
