You have checked fuel rate adjusted the pilot screws checked all the hoses. Have you balanced the carbs.

If the carbs or a carb is flooding some of the unburnt fuel will end up mixed with the engine oil. remove the oil filler screw cap and see if there is any trace of petrol by sniffing around the oil fill hole.

Have you checked the coils - ballast resister and the wiring. a coil could be going to earth

There is a ball bearing in the choke lever I assume its sprung loaded. This may be it has stuck. You can just about see it in WingAdmins post second photo

When you rebuilt the carbs did you polish the sliders and dash pot. also set the float level height.

Sounds like valve bounce. recheck the valve gap. also swap no one spark plug with no two plug it could be breaking down load

Hi Craig. Thanks for your reply
I'm looking at using the second battery motorbike type purely for running extra riding lights. side marker lights. power for a alarm system, sat nav tracker and usb charging. so im not draining power from the main battery when riding or parked up

Thanks

Terry

Hi these were fitted to my 1500 can any one tell me what they are for there are two I figured out they are for communication rider to pillion coms plus radio ?
Thanks for any input

Some specs on the relay would be helpful. Diagram does not explain what it does. It a split charge relay it opens at 13.7 volts to charge the second battery it it goes below 12. volts it closes That sounds like the voltage regulator on my old 1951 Plymouth.... it worked just like that. This is the ...

Hi I'm looking a fitting a Voltage sensing split charge relay to my gl1500 trike Will this be ok. Fit VSR and second gl1500 battery in the side pannier with a 30amp ignition switched relay to a fuse box for extra lights spot and driving a sat nav and dash cam. then a separate fuse box fused direct f...

I put a digital volt meter and light switches in mine

Here is one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Honda-Engine-Drive-Gear-Oil-Cap-Tappet-Valve-Cover-Replacement-12361-300-000/132494885213?hash=item1ed94f815d:g:mPUAAOSwSKtaaPRP&redirect=mobile Are these the same size. this one fit the rear on the clutch stator cover. the one for the timing hole h...

It sight glass is for seeing the timing marks with a strobe light when setting . it shouldn't be left on all the time there should be a alloy screw cap fitted

First I would re check the point gap then the static timing. also check to see if air is being sucked in around the carb manifolds at the cylinder head and carb body

I was afraid of that. Thought I would have a flooding issue though, which I haven't. Guess I will switch it out with the NAPA/Carter pump, and see if that works better. Don't have any idea what any of them are putting out as far as pressure, but found the Carter P72190 on Amazon for $36. so will tr...

Thanks and yes i will be replacing all the friction plates damper plate and spring. the metal ones are ok i was just wondering if any one had any sizes for the damper plate There don't seem to be very much info out there on clutch replacement. couldn't find any when i did mine. Guess they don't wea...

I replaced mine on 1990 1500. My advice would be replace all plates and spring. Your crunching gears sound on takeoff will be gone.

Hi just removed the clutch as I thought they were worn crunching gears when pulling away. I've check the friction plates they are all well within the service limit and all the same thickness at 3.79mm limit is 3.5mm. the clutch spring is a bit low and near its service limit so will replace. But not ...

I was under the impression it was a air mixture screw adjusted the air fuel ratio. could be were I have had and worked on gl1000. they say you learn something new every day

You said that you checked the tyre pressure but have you checked the tyres for bulges or out of shape buckled wheels.

Also I have noticed you posted about wobble head shake and handling problems a few years back is this the same bike?

Change the coils to 3/4 even though you checked then they still can be faulty

Being a 76 model this would have spoked wheels have you checked these. or the wheels may be buckled. it sounds like you have been through most things Not sure how tight the spokes should be. but I can remember some one saying about tapping each one and listing at the sound if it a dull sound they we...

Have you got a fork brace fitted?

I get 158mile to a tank from the fill neck the red fuel light on. and I ride it hard and fast.
