It’s not good to spray carb cleaner or brake cleaner into your air intake while starting. The cleaner washes away the oil film between cylinder and piston, which causes serious damage to the motor. For starting procedures only use jump start spray, never a cleaner. Anyway good video!

Good job, runs great again!, one thing though the cambearing on the right side (camgear) is mounted the wrong way, it has one closed side and this should face the outside! Lubrication of the bearing... ✌

question how do you get that back up ring out?

Probably wont see this but i just came into my own gl1100 with a single carb conversion. I have the old carb assembly but what should i look for to ensure itll run once i get the original back on? Any help would be appreciated ive been wanting one of these forever and i want to rebuild it pristine

Exactamente que tipo de carburador es? Que modelo? Es para una gl1200 1986, oos cuatro carburadorrs originales no les encuentro el kit de juntas, y creo que es mejor pasar a uno solo, mas práctico. Muchas gracias.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks very much for video ❤❤

That was a treat. Great work!

Excelente video, saludos desde Costa Rica Tengo un xlr 250, bastante parecido a tu xr 250r 👍🏼

Dirty oil…guessing poor maintenance led to premature wear?

Great video

How much oil to start??? Just get it to low cold???

Great video thanks

I just paid $400 mins sits too long. Drove it home and now won’t start Is gas tank rust an issue Says it’s rusted and added a fuel filter? Well it won’t run and now back to shop? $$

You said 10 30 but put in 10 40. Is 10 40 correct? How much oil did it take? What type of coolant did you use? Thank you also what was the milage on this bike?

Hello i own the same Ryobi weed eater . I installed a new carburetor it cranks well when it's cold once the Ryobi full crank get up to temp it shuts off want start again any help thanks Jimmy

Loving that V-Strom in the background!

I have a gl1000 1976 I take it the forks are pretty much the same?😊

I have the same Briggs & Stratton and it also has a knock in it when I bought it I’m gonna put a new Rod in it

The crf230 2008 use oilfilter? Nice video 🎉

So new piston and cylinder bored? What are new sizes?

Good job with no nonscence working attitude

Nice video. I have this exact blower and I’ve gotten blisters on my fingers (on more than one occasion) from pullin’ that cord for hard starts. I tore mine all the way down and cleaned the buildup around the piton ring. Put it all back together and at least it starts.. when it wants to.

Brilliant! Thank you. Excellent instructive video. Without you guys sharing your knowledge so generously like this, it would be an uphill battle to keep these fantastic machines on the road.

That black oil draining out tells me there must have been nothing but sludge in the bottom of that crankcase. Poor mistreated mower! I hang onto used oil just for topping up depleted machines like this so I don’t waste new oil. Run it hot, drain and fill with the good stuff. 🔧👍

Nice! I’d probably price that one at around $150-175, so it was definitely worthwhile to give it a second life (hopefully to be treated better!).

I believe that the drive gears are labeled/stamped right and left to help get them on correctly. I also like to put a little oil in the drive axle trans and wheel bearing when I have the machine on its side. As for value, in my market (Chicagoland) the Toro would sell for at least $150.00. Good video.

It had seen a rough life indeed but thanks to you it lives on for someone to use. God bless to you as well.

My approach to your Tecumseh find would have been different. BUT I am WELL aware how careless and wasteful lot of people are with their investments.

What was the bad noise?

Nice older video! I’m surprised the gaskets didn’t cause a vacuum leak and give you trouble, they looked pretty squashed. I used to dislike working on Honda GCV carbs but I’ve done so many that now I kinda like them. Too bad they’re not making them anymore, but there will still be plenty of old mowers like this around to tinker with lol!

Just bought a non running 78 GL1000 that I'll be getting back up and running. It has a new battery and turns over so it seems like it will be an easy one. :) My throttle is also stuck.

Petes small engine in Minn. has a kit for fg100 transmission.

I like the cearel box gasket!

When you took the cap off of the end of the clutch, what gasket did you use to replace the old one? Brand or part number or if it comes in a kit? If you could link it that would be even better. Thanks!

worst priming system ever.

I've had mine for about 6 years and it works great. I did have to install a manual fuel tap but it was easy. I'd like to know the size of the AGM battery. Can you tell me that? I'm not loving the old flooded battery.

Terrible video and explanation. Get a fork seal driver and nobody cares you’re going to bike week. Next time show the camera the parts so we can see the direction and order of operation. Trash

Not sure why people in the comments are applauding you. Maybe they’re just being nice. For the reassembly, why couldn’t you have shown the camera first which parts you were installing? That way we the viewer could see the direction and order of the parts. Instead you have a half ass view of the fork where you quickly throw the parts down.

Hi. I have an 06. Where is the nuetral safety switch? Mine is bad.

I've got a 2003 Valkyrie are the CCs of oil the same as the 2000

How many CCs of oil did you put on the right side for?

may i suggest some cutting oil when drilling and tapping.

I love the way the gl handles

I got a 2017. Not a single issue in 7 yrs. 4 stroke. Fuel injection. Liquid cooled. Perfect scooter. 9,053 miles. Starts in 2 seconds everytime. Cold rain or snow.❤

How much would you said the parts ran you to fix this? Thanks for the great video.

Sir, what did the crank rod/wrist pin small hole measure? .672 is service life.

I must done mine wrong then. I lapped mine to clean them up a bit using clover brand grinding stuff to do it lol

I do wish you would showed step by step pulling the lower block out with all the drive gear involved

I’ve owned my 06 rancher for 18 years. Always took good care of it. It sat for 6 years. I never started it. Fuel was all drained out of it before I stored it. Got it out in 22, took a fathers and sons trip with a buddy of mine we use to do taking our sons when they were little. It started smoking badly near the end of that quad camping trip. Came home, shoved it back in the barn until 2 weeks ago. I just rehoned the cylinder, new rings, valve guide seals, lapped the valves anyways even though I didn’t think they needed it. Started it up for the first time last night. It smoked at first from oil coating I had on cylinder wall for the first ten mins. It finally stopped. Im gonna test drive it this evening for 30 mins to see how it goes.
