    Anyone else have trouble with goldwingparts.com?

    I've ordered from classicgoldwingparts.com several times, shipping was always slow, but I always got my parts. To be fair, randakks has been slow with shipping a few times

    Rabbit hole aka 1983 GL1100 Interstate "refresh" a bike that sat over four years.

    Big thing on carbs, especially that old and sitting that long, I'd get good quality carb kits. Randakks carb kits, they are expensive but worth it. I had got a cheap eBay kit, and half the parts were for a gl1200. By the time I ordered the missing/incorrect parts, I could have bought the...

    Question on choke and idle adjustment.

    Thanks for the tips. The fuse block terminals have 12+ on both sides, I do have power to the horns, just nothing to the turn signal flasher or front and rear brake switches. According to the wiring diagram, all of these circuits are powered from the same source. If I probe each of the power side...

    Question on choke and idle adjustment.

    Thanks, I've got power thru the 10 amp fuse for the turn signals and brake lights, but no power at the Individual wires that power them. I can apply power to brakes and flasher and everything works. I do have power to the horns, and according to my wiring diagram the horns are powered by the...

    Well, I took a close look at the carburetors today, and I found why the throttle screw was off the stop, the #3 carburetor, that had the accelerator pump on it, the throttle shaft for the carb was bent. After some slow and careful bending, it's straight and my idle adjustment is against the stop...

    Question on choke and idle adjustment.

    Ok, thanks. The throttle plates are closed, thought it was weird that the throttle screw was off the stop. These carbs have not been on my bike, the original carbs had been hacked up and was missing all the choke linkages, it's what I think caused the engine to seize from water intrusion. Air...

    Question on choke and idle adjustment.

    I'm putting my bike back together after a 4 month restoration, I've rebuilt the carbs(30 year small engine/dealer here) I was checking the choke/high idle on the carb assembly and I noticed the idle adjustment screw is about 1/8-1/4 inch away from contacting the stop. All the throttle plates in...

    I'm David, I had a 1976 gl1000 back in the late 90s, but was forced to sell it. I've grown up on motorcycles since I was 8 years old. Anyway, I hadn't had a bike since my goldwing, and I'd sold it in 1999. I was browsing thru Facebook marketplace and found a 1982 gl1100 not too far from me. The...

    I'm David, I had a 1976 gl1000 back in the late 90s, but had to sell it. I found a 1982 gl1100 back in July, what started as a fix it up enough to ride has turned into a full restoration.
