I had my Carbs rebuilt on my 1981 GL1100I Goldwing. Was running fine but carbs had not been rebuilt since 2016. Had them professionally done. After it was done, I still had my False Tank and Seat off. I started it and tested revving and seems to be fine. The next day I put the tank and seat back on. I fired it up and came right up. As soon as aI started to crank the throttle it would start to hesitate and die. I checked my Filer, replaced some old Fuel lines, put fresh gas in. No change. If I pull the choke it will idle up fine and stay stable, but when using the throttle with choke off it would die. Issue same when I took a little ride up the alley. Would go 30 yards and stall. I am at a loss as to what could be wrong.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thank-you
Dale Roberts

Re: GL1100I carb issue
please clarify ... the carbs were rebuilt in 2016 and then rebuilt recently ?

Re: GL1100I carb issue

Re: GL1100I carb issue
that being the case, all i can think is that there is a problem with the slow jets, but that doesn't jive with the carbs having just been serviced. hopefully someone else can provide some insight.
