Is it hard to clean Goldwing carbs?
Cleaning Goldwing carbs is no harder than building a model airplane. If you have a good manual for your model, pay attention, and keep organized, the rebuild process will be a snap. I will walk you through the process. Caution! Please make sure the fuel petcock is set to “Off” before proceeding! You don’t want raw fuel all over your garage floor.
How do you rebuild a Goldwing carburetor head?
In order to rebuild each of the carburetors, you must first separate them from the intake manifold. There are several long screws that hold the intake manifold together. These screws are very mild steel and our easy to round off the head.
Why is my Goldwing GL1000 called the Beast?
After a long winter’s nap, I went to awaken the beast, my 1978 Honda Goldwing GL1000 with aftermarket Vetter fairing, sidebags, and boot. I call it the beast because it is very heavy with a full tank of gas. Trying to maneuver it around the garage and in my inclined driveway is a herculean feat!

Why does my Honda GCV 160 wont start?
R&R of spark plug gave no joy. Ditto for removing the air filter. His in-line spark plug tester showed that ignition system was fine, not as my primitive effort with my wife suggested. The engine needs only four things to run: fuel, spark, compression, and timing.
Are there any problems with the Honda Gold Wing?
Apparently, “1200’s are great but 84/85’s had rear wheel failures (due to) bad machining from the factory. As well as other little problems (nothing earth shaking though).” 1984 and 1985 Gold Wings do, in fact, have ignition problems.
