Well, since the 89 would have been a 1500....

Welcome! A big task just to get that one back on the road.

Where did you find $7 head gaskets?

First I'd check the pedal return spring. Then, after removing the pedal from the shaft and cleaning both surfaces, use a lubricant (not WD) on them. I believe the FSM lists grease. Also, while tge pedal is off check that the MC is returning. There is a tiny orifice in the MC that permits return...

I've never seen this style on a car. Glad I saw your post, though. Prompted me to get a couple sets on order. I'll be starting on the '75 (and pulling the engine guards off) as soon as I can sell the Triumph.

I have a two-man Kmart pup tent that has to be fourty years old. Will probably disintegrate when pulled out of its bag. Academy sounds like a good resource for you.

I have two of the "flexatalic" style left. I will be ordering more soon for the '75. You can have these two if that is all you need.

I had a rescue with good compression readings on all four, so I didn't pull heads. Cleaned and repainted the engine, rebuilt the carbs, put it all together and added water (for first test) to the system that poured out the left exhaust. Bad head gasket. Had a spare, so it was a minor setcback...

They are awesome to watch. I got to see the 500 once. It was a long time ago - so long that Andretti won! There is a lot of walking involved to do most anything there. For your back, listen to the doctors, but make sure you have the BEST! No one has more interest in your health than you.

As long as you keep your sanity and don't miss riding season, you're good!

Looks like a GL1100 with GL1000 valve covers.

Try opening the gas cap. Sometimes the vent gets plugged. Also the pickup in the tank can get plugged with sediment (ruining the carb cleaning if you haven't installed good inline filter). Usually only one coil fails, and when it foes it comes back after cooling. You may just need a shot of...

I like the hoop, but prefer having it with a fender. I painted the rusty hoop for my Hunley build black. Covers the rust, protects, and kinda blends in.

Looks good in the sunlight too!

Of course all are welcome. 25 and older to show as vintage (you easily qualify). I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I'll be showing my '72 Triumph T150V rescue.

I think all of the guards are gone except what may be on the Pistol Pete bike, and I won't be able to get to them until I sell the T150V. But I am showing the Trident at the Possum Gathering this weekend, maybe I'll get lucky. BTW, stop by - Sevier County Fairground Friday and Saturday.

Enjoy it. Unlike Triumphs, I've never heard of an oil pressure issue on a GoldWing unless from total loss (damaged filter fom road debris). Oil pump failures are primarily seal leakage indicated by drips from the weep hole. I prefer the "idiot light" because... But that'a a nice looking gauge...

MPI being so much different from direct injection - I forgot that. Diesels have to inject against (not full, but still high) cylinder pressure on the compression stroke. MPI and TBI need much less pressure - but still have a bit of vaiable pressure on the intake (I worked on particle...

What is the average cylinder pressure throughout the injection pulse? Would that be the d/p to maintain?

That;s because no oil seal goes there. Leakage past the bearing lubricates the tach and pump drive.
