[QUOTE="Cervantes, post: 9425, member: 611"] Well, the weather has improved and I think it is about time to get working on this Goldwing. My goal is to replace the timing belts so I don't end up with a bent valve disaster, and hopefully fix her "bad attitude" at low RPM at the same time. I have to admit I am a little bit intimidated by all of this, but (with this list and the great step by step instructions on here ) all of the steps seem do-able... just a lot of steps. So before I jump in I wanted to be sure I am approaching things in the right general order. I will refer to the tutorials and posts on this site to get more info on how to do each step. But first I need to be sure I have the what worked out, and int he proper order. So here is what I am thinking. 1. Back of the valve gap as far as they go. 2. Pull the Spark Plugs 3. Replace the Timing Belts 4. Adjust the valve gap 5. Check out the gap on the points - replace them if the are pitted. otherwise, re-gap 6. Gap and replace the spark plugs. 7. Put all the parts back on (radiator with new coolant, etc.) 8. Pray she still runs! Once all that is good I will look into a carb sync, perhaps. If that doesn't fix her, I will have to look into pullnig the carbs.. Oh I hope not! :beg: But first things first! So am I doing this all in the right order? I am sure I will have questions about the specific steps, but I want to be sure my high level approach is right first. FWIW, I already changed oil and filter plus added sea foam to the gas (almost through that tank). I also ordered and received a new air filter that I will put on. Thanks!
