How old is the Honda GL1500 carb transom?
Transom: Your GL1500 is 6 years older than mine. If it has also spent its life in the Southwest it’s a sure bet that all those components are about the consistency of Bakelite by now. I’d also replace the 1 gasket across the middle of the carbs while in there.
Why are my carbs flat on my Honda GL1500?
I’ve heard about the vaccum line under the carb and am in the process of pulling the Tuperware off to inspect the lines and possibly rebuild the carbs.I’m thinking the vaccum line may be the culprit because if I have the choke on a bit the flat spot is not so pronounced. I have heard that the 89 – 90 wings had this problem and was a known issue.
