Where is click coming from? When pushing the switch, headlight relay in relay box drops out, that is one click and normal. When it will not start try pulling reverse lever up a little bit and back down a few times while keeping button pushed in. If still no start then the reverse switch/cabling is p...

The accelerator pump is temperature compensated in cool/cold temps it passes more fuel for a better shot to aid driveability concerns, in warm temps it is negligible shot. The operation of pump is covered in the '89 european service manual. We used to chill parts with Freon liquid for testing but re...

If I recall now the drop was substantial maybe on the order of around 200RPM for the CompuFire, OEM alternators no drop.

A winner on the other site. ;) The answer is: One of the first 1500's I ever worked on was for a man who wanted his Compu Fire installed. After brakes, belts,exhaust,carbs,fluids,fork seals,driveshaft boot and of course the alternator It was time to back it out of the stall for him to pick it up tha...

Lay down on your back and ease your head under the bike (or trike) and look up … or use a mirror.

Negative, no cheating involved. You have seen it hundreds of times but never made the connection to an OEM ride.

I have a way of knowing if a GL1500 has a CompuFire HO alternator installed without any panel removal or test instruments involved.
Anyone care to venture a guess how it is done?

Good old mechanic in a can.

Sounds like a classic case of auto petcock failure. In front of the gas cap is the petcock with a vacuum line to it. With engine running and hose removed hose should be pulling a vacuum. Attach a vacuum pump to petcock and pull a slight vacuum which should hold steady.

Did you bench sync the carbs?

After obvious and known leak areas such as reserve tank grommet, radiator cap and lower hoses it is time to remove the fans. Pressurize system with a tester or run engine until hot watching temp gauge (due to no fans) then shut down and with the aid of mirrors and flashlight or remote camera pinpoin...

Is there something I have missed? Some observation and diagnosis. :) With air filter box removed and using sight, sound and feel at flame arrestor screens which cylinders are causing the popping or is it the whole crew? A lean running issue can cause the symptoms you describe and I would start with...

I would agree about the first time posters. Many look for a simple "what part" will fix my problem answer on a barn find machine when in reality it takes diagnostics, tools and work effort for a successful repair.

Shortly after buying my GL1500 I also found one of those bouncing around in the trunk. Seems the little plastic clips just under the knob tend to break off allowing the assy to pop back out of its assigned location. May be a common problem because Cyclemax keeps them in stock. Mine have also taken ...

If your Panasonic factory radio does not work it is because those connectors are not plugged into it.

The underside of the trunk has lockable helmet holders, those are the release levers which belong inside the trunk and by turning will release the catches.

It looks if the fuses were removed it might sneak out of there. When the cover is out trim a little plastic off that cover on the left side for next time.

The only one for 8mm was for the 88 model year they then went to 7.5mm. I just set for the short side of 8mm. When setting float height the spring loaded needle tip does not get compressed.

8mm for setting your float height. What is the history, had it been sitting around? Did you install new Honda float valves?

When did the problem first appear and what other work was done since this started? Barring the obvious due to throttle linkage issues an area that might be checked is if the cruise control actuator/system is problematic (vacuum/linkage) when there should be zero vacuum and slack. A hanging shot air ...

Year and mileage, did it ever tow a trailer?

Why an idle speed of 950RPM when spec is 800 +/- 80, does it have another undesirable trait at spec? What happens to idle/running quality when it is set to 750RPM?

I think thebruce did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and was on the mark. The fans will draw about 5A.

Pressure test - 15 psi for 20 seconds. I thought 6 seconds was too short also. 20 Seconds :lol: The cooling system with engine running stays pressurized for hours on end. Pump it up and watch gauge for at least five minutes. Are you losing any coolant? That means checking level in radiator under ca...

Slow air jet? Lower numbers give more fuel? Are these jets submerged in the fuel of float bowls?
