Okay, here are the final tuning numbers. The carb that I received was jetted with a 127.5 jet for the main jet. Guess what guys, if you have rejetted a mikuni, you likely have a pile of jets you just cant throw away,, they may come in handy! Well...once again krakum's ever growing box-o-bolts-n-useless stuff saves the day again. Man I love that box. I found a pair of old mik mains that I salvaged off a Hyosung gv650 for spare parts for the wifes ride, Boom, there was a 122.5 jet along with a 125, I went with the 122.5. BOOM, now if finally sounds "in unison" like a goldwing should, fresh one tone romp from 1350 rpm to redline and well through it) like nobodies business. Yea, smells right now too, I also adjusted the choke, it was set WAYYYYY too tight, adjusted as per a recommendation in vw-reources, set a new main jet size of 122.5 (VW, Solex, Or Mikuni 100.206 nmain jets, they interchange, Set the air/idle exactly to 1.625 turns as per calculation, found that the pilot jet had loosened itself and was leaking fuel out and air in, it almost fell out when I touched it. Yea, found that mystery vacuum leak,,,yea....tightened it up, and checked the top bolts as I had the top off changing jets and modifying the float level (yes I can side stand it now...ooooo)
Well, also made another gasket from firmer rubberized gasket for the base gasket. I reset the cables, and tightened them to remove slack, and started it, boom 1650 rpm purring like a VW over-toned GL1000 with tuned carbs. Hit the gas, slight lag, but zoom. I enriched the accelerator pump, and set the idle screw (big one) too 2.25 turns for good luck, better rich than lean is what I always say. Boom, 1200 rpm, steady, no more surges, no more dropped idles, purrs, picks up[ evenly to match the grip, and no lags or spaces in acceleration. Its on gents, it is fast, cruises smoothly, idles perfectly at 1200 rpm, and takes off like a rocket now...yea...I love my new boat anchor, today it held me in a 15 mph breeze going for the big musky in the froth, no luck, but that keihin anchor was the shiznet!!!!!!!!!
Now I see what the big hoopla is on the GL's torque and power, its "in unison" now if that makes sense.
