I have these carbs here from a 1983 GL1100.
They have not ever been opened, at least they look never opened and completely original judging by the screw heads and idle mixture screws still having the limiter tabs.
(It's very common when a rack is opened up to grind the mixture limiter tabs off)
In this thread I'm going to document every step along the way with video's and clear pictures, how to take a rack of carbs with stuck sliders and gummy floats to a running set of carbs.
AND I'm going to do this with an ultra tight budget replacing only what absolutely must be replaced to bring them back to 100% running condition.
The processes will be each in a separate post within this thread to make future reference to a specific step easier by using the post number link.
I am locking this thread so only I can add to it because this will be a long process from start to finish for me to document everything properly.
So here we go........
The first video is an introduction to the carbs, detailing some of the external parts.
Some of the video's after will be silent with a text narration but in later video's I'll be talking about each part in detail.
