Introduction of new member and a question
Hi i am a three year owner of a goldwing 1100i but not new to crusing, i also so owner a baby wing that i am looking to sell. My question is about fuel in my number three cyclinder. How do i get it out? I have removed my carbs and am in the process of cleaning them. It has been a learning experance doing that. While removing the carbs i found the number three cyclinder full of gas. I found when i tried to start the bike this year i had fuel being blown out my left tail pipe miminal out of the right during the very rough start or let me say rough forced throtle open running. I have found my one and three carbs very dirty with rust flacks. I think what i have found in the right carbs explains the fuel but how do i get it out?

Back it out the garage,kill the ignition,pull the plugs and crank it.It will shoot gas all over the neighbors fence too.
If that doesn't seem right,use momma's turkey baster
,or something like that and let the rest evaporate.

Re: Introduction of new member and a question
Make sure the ignition (kill switch) is turned OFF before doing this! Cranking the engine to eject fuel from a cylinder through the spark plug holes, while having the ignition on (causing sparks to potentially go who knows where) is a really good way to turn your bike into a flaming blowtorch.

Since he's been told to blow fuel all over the fence I'm glad he's not my neighbour but welcome to the forum from an almost Edmontonian.
