    1985 aspencade 1200 poor acceleration and tick

    Ok. So i got dad a new fuel pump off ebay, the wireing harness was too short to go up under the false tank. So i cut em and spliced in the old harness. Now it will smoke up by the handlebars when i turn the key. Triee changing the wires around still doin it.

    84 goldwing interstate 1200 start issues

    So the carbs being dirty and all that would cause a knock sound? I know it has sat for long time. And i know carbs need cleaned and adjusted and the oil needs to be changed but all that would cause a knock sound?

    84 goldwing interstate 1200 start issues

    Yes. I watched a video and got confused about which way the chain is supposed to move. I figured since when i turn thr crank counterclockwise the chain and starter move thats the way it should spin. But ive been told that is wrong. So when i hook it up right the starter motor spins but the...

    84 goldwing interstate 1200 start issues

    Ok. So if i got the timing set and i can turn the crank but the chain wont move the starter clutch even with the starter goin the right other way what is that issue? It cant be because im not getting enough juice because ive hooked it to a battery charger/starter and the battery in my blazer.

    84 goldwing interstate 1200 start issues

    The chain turns just how it should both on and off the starter. Which is counterclockwise. It does not turn clockwise. The problem is when it does turn counterclockwise the starter cluch does not move. However if i turn it by hand both the chain and starter clutch move.
