i been posting in the gl 1100 part of the site thinking i had a 1976 gl 1000 frame with a 1982 gl 1100 motor. well now i my have a older motor then what i was told and im confused as to why i have a rod sticking out the rear of my motor were the vacuum advance go's and a hose the comes from my carbs that should hook to it. here are some pix of what im talking about. any help will be greatfull.

salved. it is a gl 1100 motor that has been onverted to points, and will it ever run right like this?

So you have a engine set for vacuum advanced that someone converted to the older mechanical advance system. Not sure why someone would do that? I would set it back up with the vacuum system.

Just talking from memory here so I could be mistaken. I don't think the 1100 engine will fit in the 1000 frame without modification because the vacuum advance assembly sticks out too far. Don't know why that wouldn't work though.

Good point Dingdong, so the mechanical advance is required or the vacuum system needs modifications to fit.

Correct, an 1100 in a 1000 frame requires either frame mods or what your PO has done.
The 1000 heads are all the same; if that has 78-79 cams & ignition adv/ret unit and has been timed 10 degrees BTDC it will run just like an 1100 with just a bit less torque.
If it has 75-77 cams and ign unit and timed to 5 degrees, it won't run that well with the 1100 carbs; try swapping them along with the manifolds for a set of 755s and that will really wake the old girl up.
If you keep the 1100 carbs in any event, blank off the vacuum port.

Would be good to use Randakk's video next time unless you already did. Users of Randakk's carb video report high quality carb rebuilding results.
