83 GL1100 Interstate
Hey Hi Hello
I used to ride and work on two CX500's. A nice bikes but I felt under powered so I
sold them.
Please advise part vendors to refresh the newest project, a 1983 GL1100 Interstate with 36K
Currently runs but backfires and won't idle w/o chock and throttle at all rpms.
First going to clean carbs and fuel systems. Got Mike Nixon's rebuild pamphlet. Then address the other systems.
Please advise . . .
 
I like to start with the parts cross-reference list on Goldwingdocs.com. Another method is to google the factory part number and see what deals come up. Parts Giant is good for some stuff. Be sure to get your accelerator pump nozzles clean when you do the carbs.
