Thanks Spud. I guess I could have checked; we have Google where I live.

I took it to work today. It runs well, although it's no Gold Wing! Bikes have changed a lot in the past 33 years. So have I. :?

Maybe I'll give this a try. Cheap. Very much in keeping with the Chinarider's tradition!

There is/was a tool called a uni-sync that you used on multiple carb set-ups on cars that works just fine on twins.
http://www.1800vw.bizhosting.com/uni_sync.html What I do is remove the air cleaners and use a piece of vacuum hose, one end in your ear (to listen) the other end down the throat of the carb, both carbs should sound the same, adjust the idle speed screws until they do. (this is provided there is one cable pulling both carbs open, you set the one that is fixed to the shaft then adjust the other that has the adjustment independent of the shaft. A two cable set-up is set differently and is really time consuming as you have to set the idle speeds (with the idle speed screws) then set the cables (adjust the lengths) at around 1500rpm) |

It occurs to me I'd also need some sort of adapter to put the hose onto the fitting of the carb. I think I'll just let Andy do it. He's do it for free in exchange for a flying lesson. I've got it good, gentlemen. Except for that divorce thing, but even that has it's up sides. :?

Even more fun. 4 carbs. A friend likes the early wings.

I has a GS1100 for about 15 years and did the carbs on it. time consuming but not rocket science. Problem is I've long ago lost/broken the mercury manometer. :(

Another pic for Spud, et al.
Hopefully it's cool 'Collector Vehicle" plate shows up in the picture.

Thanks, Doc. Every time I look at your bike, I wish I still owned my 1979, Honda Hawk II.
