Yes, minimum of compression test and drivability test. Parts are available, but that is diminishing. Excellent engineering. Great bike. My 77 GL1000, 50,000 miles, is perfect, because it was maintained.
If you replaced the float needles and seats and made sure you put the screen on the back of the needle seat, you maybe don't need to pull the carbs again. Run it for a couple days turning the petcock off each time you stop. It may clear up. However, if the first time they were out, you did not do a proper rebuild, then you need to start over. If the bike sat for years, you also need to clean the fuel pump and gas tank. Also, replace the fuel hose and filter. Once all this is done, it should be trouble free for years.
@@BobKramer51 Exactly what I am intending to do. And I will replace all my fuel line from tank to pump to carbs as I am no longer sure if I did this already or only a section as I only wanted to see if it would run initially which it did and I put a few thousand miles on it having a blast! let it sit for a few months and now this. Will let you know. Thx. I love the old Gold Standards.
I have never had one come into garage that had bad compression except one and it was the head gasket you never have to re ring them unless they are 200k miles if they are low compression all you have to do is lap valves and replace the head gaskets these bike are tough even if you have to take heads off it's a 7hr job at best
Love the 79 Standard. Last year made in Japan I believe. When they run good, they are very fast and fun!! Love the boxer motor.

Great video thank you. Sweet bike.
Clutch is easy to change in frame. Did mine in 2.5 hours last weekend.
Got my 79 GL1000 running great and put 1000 miles or so on it. Now the carb floats will not shut off!! Got to pull them again!!! WTH?
That sounds right for a Goldwing, they are some of the most contrary bikes I ever worked on.
