If the only change you made other than the carbs was to cut down the air filter, you could be running rich. When you cut down the air filter, you decreased the amount of air it could pull at wide open throttle.
Looking at the original question: it looks like the measurements are of the total height of the cam, which look pretty close from '75 to '82. But to measure lift you have to subtract the diameter of the base circle of the cam. Maybe the base circle of the '75 is smaller. :doh:[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=132845#p132845:1mdz47o7 said:chilidawg » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:34 pm[/url]":1mdz47o7]
Tonight, I had nothing better to do than to compare the height of these 2 different year camshaft lobes, following both of them passing the thumbnail test for wear on the top of the lobe.
I used a Frankford Arsenal caliper that zero's perfectly, and as I'm just taking a "difference" between the 2 components. Calibration, or the quality of the instrument shouldn't be issue, yeah?
OK, here's what I found! They where all very close so averages where:-
75 camshaft...
Inlet 1.465"
Exhaust 1.447"
As opposed to.
82 camshaft...
Inlet 1.452"
Exhaust 1.446"
There is no way that I could measure duration. And I have no opinion on that whatsoever.
But this is real time measurements of >32 year old equipment, but my deal is....
How does just 0.013" on the inlet cam make such a difference?

Where do I start? I guess it's got to be somewhere, so here it is! Rebuild is now complete &.......
I now own the tightest, smoothest running 82 goldwing I have ever owned and I honestly believe that includes the 82 I had in 84, and definitely includes every metamorphosis of this bike I have ever put on the road in 15 years! It is also stronger than any 1000 I have ever ridden. Gee Joe, you really got that one right, for sure!
But! And there has to be one don't there? Only if I am super smooth on the gas, any attempt at goosing it makes it bog down like a mother-expletive, even hitting it at 4.5K in 2nd, it will bog, now when it recovers, it is nothing but fast :mischief:
I just know, this bike would be nothing but awesome, if it where only responsive. the only real change I made this time (apart from finding 2 heads that work perfectly together and rebuilding them with 75 cams) was to replace the 2 1/2" high air filter with a 1 3/4" to make more room for the suspension compressor and not have to cram down on the fake tank covers so much.
I have also pulled the filter to make sure that the now free floating choke flaps did not close when goosed, and they are not.
My only fix so far for this, has been to give the Weber more left twist on the mixture screw and it don't seem to be working, I am now at about 5 turns out from closed.
I have tried to upload movies with no luck, they are either too big or corrupted somehow.
Any ideas are appreciated Fellas, thanks.

My Weber had #50 primary low speed jet and a #60 secondary low speed. I had a big time bog on mine so I swapped the #60 jet into the primary and the bog went away. Take a look at the jets you have and maybe you can do the same.

I have a 160 primary jet and a 220 secondary jet, my carb is a 32/32 DFT. I can't find parts for any of it on any search engine I've found. maybe you can help!
All this information, I only found out today, so it's what I have to work with!!
