Looking for GL1100 carb part

Post by seth1kaufman »



Hello,
I’ve been rebuilding the original four-carb setup. When trying to fit carbs back together, I broke a small aluminum fuel passage. I was wondering if anyone has this part laying around? Attached is a photo of the tube.

I do NOT have your part
BUT
Have you tried any of the vendors at Goldwingdocs
OR
Bearscycleshop.com
OR
RoMaxCycles Carburetor Clean & Rebuild Specialist's in Florida
IF
No one steps forward with the part you need I would contact all, one at a time, and ask if they have the part, if not do they know who might.
Best of luck

Hey there! Did you ever find that part you were looking for? I part out 1980's GL1100s and have multiple of these parts. :D

Hi PDXWrench,
I did manage to find one at a motorcycle scrap yard 30 minutes from home. I had to tear the carbs apart to get to the fuel rail, but it was worth the effort. I am curious, maybe you would know this, were some of the fuel rails from the GL1100 carbs a little longer than others? Or, were they all the same length regardless of year or which side the fuel rail was located on the carburetor system? I put the one I found at the scrap yard in my carburetors, but it seemed to fit a bit tight. Hope you have a great weekend

To clarify which of the tubes are you inquiring about 9 or 10? there are different length of flow tubes in a 4 carb set up around the airbox, two sets of two that go between the carbs, so are you in need of both tubes or one? right on finding a junk yard with a gl1100! over here on the west coast it seems easier to just buy a whole gl1100 that's seized or totaled and get your parts that way. :)

Let me know if your looking for any other parts, I have a few GL1100s I am parting out at the moment :)

CHEERS!
