Amazing and inspiring! On the videos I looked at it really makes it look like a completely different bike. I like!CrazyJerry wrote:It's time to remove this GoldWing's carburetors and clean'em up, inside and out.

Initially, the float bowl on all carbs looks pretty good - not what was expected:

Using air superiority, we've located the low speed jets!:

-

Those need to be removed to ensure they are clean and I pray they are the fabled "press in" type! (They are! ) Using a drywall screw and small vice grips we can pop'em right out!:

A bird's eye view looking down with the low speed jet removed:

No light was visible when looking through them so first they'll get a short soak in penetrating oil:

Then they got a wonderful 30 minute experience in a RevereWare hot tub.
Vinegar and Citrus Stripping Gel are added to the bathwater:

-
And once removed they are really, really clean and light is visible through all drilled ports:
-
-
The ports in the jets are so tiny that none of these wires would fit through them (bread tie, bread tie sanded to be thinner, an led bulb with a rigid filed lead):
-

-
Floats were then adjusted to correct setting (little plug for Randakk's float setting tool here!):
-
-
-
Rack was then reinstalled on the engine with 4 new intake elbow o-rings:

The good news: it idles on it's own and doesn't quit.
The bad news: it still doesn't run good and more exploration is needed.
Here's the latest video after the carb rack was reinstalled:

It's zero degrees here in Colton, NY.

Only serious thing I want to advice is the seat support inline pipe on pipe weld can fatigue easily, add sole extra metal to it, the bike is awesome thanks for the pics and tips!
