Fuel Filter question

[robdot1964@gmail.com]

My 79 GL1000 sat for 31 years before I found it. The fuel tank rusted away and a new used one was installed. I cleaned it the best I could but I rely on fuel filters to keep the carbs clean. I've been using small engine filters and they plug up quite quickly. I've been using larger filters (in line) but I noticed the engine struggles after 5000 rpm. Thankfully a GL1000 doesn't need to be pushed over 5000 rpm. Is there a standard for the fuel filters with a specific flow rate?

How about just use the Honda filter made for it?

I'll check with my local dealer. Partzilla is pretty expensive shipping to Canada. Thanks for the advice

Third times the charm?

This site always butchers amazon.com links.

I went to Amazon and they have filters similar to the ones I use. I think a trip to the dealer is in order. Sometimes cheaping out isn't the way to go!

Rnadakk's now has the sintered bronze element in an inert plastic case.

Randaak is the guy to go to for all things Goldwing. I just put a new filter on for my first trip. Leaving Nova Scotia and heading for PEI. First major run with the old girl.
