Hello guys, I need some help again.
I just rebuilt the carbs on my 80 GL1100. I used all the parts from a Randakk's complete overhaul kit, with the Howard Halasz overhaul guide. I completed the assembly, and added fuel from my Motion-Pro aux fuel tank, and slowly added fuel to check for leaks. After a few minutes, the plenum chamber started to overflow from the main nozzle in carb #3.
I drained the carb bowls, and back tracked to splitting the plenum again to check for missing
"O" rings, etc. or something I missed. Disassembled twice, same result.
I have used the Randakk's kit, followed all the steps outlined in the guide, even have Clymers guide and Honda factory manual for reference. To the best of my knowledge, all the "O" rings, etc. are in the right place, even the plastic straw. The vacuum slide needles are straight and the tips are fine. No signs of wear.
I split the engine case and replaced rings, fresh taper hone, and refreshed the heads also this winter, so I do have some mechanical knowledge.
What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
