[QUOTE="zman, post: 122576, member: 2904"] It sounds very familiar..I too brought my GL1100 Interstate to life after sitting 23 years in a garage, the guy drove it to 9,856 miles then parked it, left it with the gas valve on and over time it pushed gas into the carbs and into the cylinders, it eventually stopped leaking because the fuel turned hard and clogged all the passageways in the carbs but still filled the manifolds of the closed valves and pretty much gummed up everything. I eventually gave up on the carbs, bought the better 82-83 set with easily removable idle circuit jets and rebuilt those. Tank needed cleaned out, with fresh oil I spun the motor over by hand many many times to help prime the oil system and un-stick the sticking valves, hoses showed no deterioration on the inside so I am still on them but they are cheap enough probably you should do yours. All brakes just like yours were shot, New seals on all and cleaned out the lines with denatured alcohol and air, had to buy another Master cylinder for the rear and one from China up front, tires were shot..still are but new ones waiting to install. It is still a work in progress but is working and seems like it is good to go anywhere I want other then the tires. Still on the fence about the head gaskets, I hear they don't like to sit with coolant for long periods, I was told if they go bad after a sit they usually fail in a 1,000 miles or less..I have put around 2500 on mine , soon as I get the tires on I`ll take it out on the freeway for some more distant rides and see. Welcome to the forum and god luck with your new project. [/QUOTE]
