Been working on an 82 gl1100 my friend gave me for free, these videos are so helpful!
Great to hear! thanks for watching.
What a cool friend
This series has been super helpful as I’ve been repairing my old 81 wing. Would love to see an update on your bike and it’s current state.
I plan on getting this thing finished up and make a follow up video soon. Thank you for watching.
Good luck on the fixing! I just bought a 78 wing
Same just bought myself 81 g11 goldwing. Thanks for these videos been super helpfull
i just want to say im using your video as a reference and theyre great, thanks so much!
Awesome, thank you!
This type of carb is used on the old vw air cooled beetle. There's plenty of info on the web about setting it up. Nothing wrong with reading the manual before you go cutting bits off. Plenty of spares for these carbs too, you'll need them
Thank you for the advice.
I have recently found your channel, and I'm enjoying it very much. I like your style of presentation and approach to problems. I have a 1982 Kawasaki KZ1300 that I bought to restore, when I find a garage I can rent here in England.
That would be a great project bike. Thank you for watching.
Years ago i had a van and the electric choke was nothing but trouble. I fitted a kit to revert to manual choke and was good as gold from them on
I will probably do the same. Thank you for watching.
I have the "Single Carb Innovations" kit on one of my gl1100s. It's a decent set up. The carb freezes up in the winter. But other than that it is a good runner. Avg 51 mpg.
That is good to know. I am anxious to see how this does while riding. Did you make any adjustments to the electric choke? Mine seem to be on for quite awhile. Thanks for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair I'm not running electric choke. I run the cable. Never liked the electrics.
I’ve also got a CI kit on my ‘75 GL. Runs great after fiddling with ignition timing and idle and mixture screws. After really flogging it my mpg went from 30 to 42. Taking it easy it does much better. Runs smoother and has more power than with stock carbs. I also installed a DynaS ignition with their coils. Big improvement
Put car filter on top carb my friend down draft Webber did that
I put a 34 pict 3 on an 1100 two years ago and although I didn't keep the bike, it ran great and the guy I sold it to rides the begesus out of it. And it ran like skat too. The only real thing I had to do was enlarge the idle jet. I also had that same style manifold at first but went to one that looks like an X from etsy.
That is great. I should get back on this soon.
I have a fee questions: where did you put the thick hose on (Carter air)? I only have a small air filter and no extra point to connect the hose. Which connection did you use for the small vacuüm hose?
I bought the same set up as you and gave up, my 1977 Gl1000 would not run right at all with this despite I set it up correctly. As a result I am going back to the stock set up, Glad you got it working.
Well I still need to road test it. I don't want to say it is a success until I ride it for a bit. Thank you for watching.
Did you jet it also? My guess is too much fuel
Ho there, this video is really helpful, I'm trying to get the adjustment on my , i did realize you have a vacuum hose on the carburator, can you please give me some tips on that.
Much appreciated

When it come to this carb, I am not sure of the setting procedure. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair Thank you. What size/diameter of the carb have you putted on ? Thank you.
Im wondering how this new carb is working out for you 2 years later? I have an 81 gl1100 interstate i am cleaning up and putting back to 1981 brand new condition and want to get a second one and would maybe do this conversion. Thanks for the videos!
I had to re-jet mine. I had bump up mine a good bit. First it would not take off without feathering the clutch. After bumping up the pilot jet it was fixed. Then WOT would fall on it’s face, but slightly speed up after letting off the throttle. Bumped up the main and now it runs fine. I have to adjust the mixture screw a half a turn every few weeks for some reason. Probably cause it is a cheap Chinese copy.
Good to know Adam. Thank you for watching.
I have this same set up on my 83 interstate 1100, its getting too much gas and fouling plugs runs pretty good but i have to clean the plugs and it drinks the fuel, even black smoked when i rev it in neutral
I think this fall I will get this bike back out and see how the tuning goes. Thank you for watching.
What about vac.timing advance?
I don't remember thar.
I'm trying to leave my carbs/with um jacked open.
It's making my vw carb sit a bit high.
Wonder where I can get a plug for the cut-off sol.?my sol.all but hits the frame.
Just use one of the vacuum ports on one of the intake runners for the advance. I think my carb had a port for the advance. Thank you for watching.
Where can I get this setup for my gl1100. Did you make the intake plenum? What air filter do you plan to run?
I bought the plenum from Ebay from a seller named boiler-boy. In his description was the name for the carburetor and his suggestion for the air filter. Thank you for watching.
Where by chance did you order your throttle cable I need a different one that fits in the bracket for the throttle the one i have won’t work because it is for my other 4 barrel carb
I just used the OEM cable. Thank you for watching.
Hi I really enjoyed your video I can’t seem to find this set up could you tell me where you got the carburetor and the manifold would sure appreciate it thank you very much
It is from Ebay. The seller was Boiler-boy and I used the carb that he recommended.
Now to get a maker to come out with an injector set up .
That would be great. Thank you for watching.
Please explain how you got the throttle to open all the way. I’m having the problem of it hitting the frame.
I did too. I cut the throttle arm down so it would miss the frame. Still working out the rest but it does work. Thank you for watching.
What carburetor did you use and where did you get the intake manifold?
Ebay, The seller for the manifold is boiler-boy and I used the carb he recommended. It is obvious that I do not know much about these carbs but I am learning. Thank you for watching.
hello, I was thinking that it is where you have the pipes under the carburetor, there is enough space, but instead of the jumpers, the compressor from the VW Corado and the four-point injection of the Subaru went there, the engine is a GL 1200, but it drives crazy, mainly it has a brutal thrust from below and because there is injection and different ignition, it spins at 12500 revolutions, according to the engine brake 185 hp and at 8000 revolutions and 210Nm as I say it is hell on two wheels.
Otherwise, greetings from the Czech Republic
Sounds like a wild ride. Good luck.
I always wondered how a singlecarb performs on a dyno in comparison to the stock carb setup.
I am not sure. But I'll bet it is down on power towards the higher RPMs. I'll be back on this project in awhile. Got to get some other things buttoned up first.
Assuming the 4 carbs are tuned perfectly, they'll out perform the single, BUT old bikes almost never have carbs that work properly, so in a realistic sense, the healthy single carb would probably run better than most stock setups at this age.
Hope to see an update soon
I should be back on this soon. Thank you for watching.
The simplicity is amazing. I'm thinking of doing something like this on my 85 Madura. Can't get parts easily for it, and the carbs are a PITA to tune and keep in healthy condition at this age. Not to mention, a single carb would be the easiest way to add a turbocharger. lol
What cfm is your carburetor?
I a not sure of the CFM. It is just a carb for an older V Dubb engine. Thank you for watching.
With this conversion kit did you have to fab anything or was everything just as easy as ordering it, I just purchased an 84' gl1200a and she definitely needs some love
Pretty much ready to go. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for this series! Been working on my 81 Goldwing and this has helped a lot getting it back on the road. How has this single carb setup been working?
I have not had a chance to finish it up yet but will get back on it soon
Did you ever get this bike on the road?
Hello, im struggling to keep my gl 1000 running, just wonder if is the carburator malfunction, can you please let me know where i can purchase a carburator like yours thanks Renato.
I got it from E Bay, thank you for watching.
I might have missed it, but what was your reason behind the conversion? Do you still have the old carbs? I’m missing the diaphragm spring and main jet needle on one and I would totally buy the whole set off you.
I do still have the whole set of OE carbs. I am hanging on to them in case I don't like the overall feel of this conversion. Thank you for watching.
Apprently these carbs are tricky set up I mean stock gl 1000 -1200 what I read
Put the carb on the other way and it won't hit the frame and fuel line will connect on fuel pump side. Don't have to shorten throttle cable either.
I tried that and it was worse. Not sure if I have the wrong carb or what. Thank you for watching.
What carb did you purchase and where did you purchase it from? Also, is this now a single throttle cable or is it still a push pull 2 cable system?
It was from Ebay and was the one the manifold kit suggested. Thank you for watching.
The screw in the moving arm should be adjusted to close the buterfly valve just before it touches the ventury walls to prevent wear, the BIG brass screw is the air bypass and it's made to control the iddle speed,(turn clockwise To lower RPM) the small screw controls the amount of fuel at idle. (Turning clockwise leans the iddle mixture)
Thank you for the heads up on this.
What Honda should have done is that have made that machine having a single carb from the factory being really dialed in. It's like then back when Dodge made that slant 6 engine that had 6 cyl and only 1 carb and it worked just fine. Easy tuning easy driving LOL.
That would not be the "Honda Way". Thank you for watching.
Nice video than you for sharing. Did you liked the conversion? How does it drive? Are you going to make more videos on the GL1100?
I am going to make more videos on this bike pretty soon. Got some other stuff I need to knock out first. Thank you for watching.
Are you aware of any of those 4 to 1 carb conversion kits being available for the Honda DOHC CB750's?
I have not seen any of those. Thank you for watching.
Seems like it needs a bigger carb, never knew anyone that kept this kit on
I have not put much time on it since the conversion. I guess when I get back to this we'll see if it remains. Thank you for watching.
I love your video can you please let me know size of jets you useing
I am using the jets that were in the carburetor as of now. I still need to finish this project up and I may change the jets at that point. Thank you for watching.
I'm dealing with one of these on a 1000, it's a really poor installation and I really wanted to see how the throttle cable was hooked up on this. Of course that part of the vid was cut out.😛But I did catch a glimpse at the end.
It was really pretty simple. I did not cut the cable as they describe in the directions. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair Yeah, the cable on this one still has the factory end on it, but they simply used zip ties to attach the cable to the throttle arm instead of using the larger ferrule like yours has.
Hi Ray,What you going to do with old carb ,hope to hear from you Dan South Africa.this.
I never got any instructions on how to assemble and how to hook vacuum lines up any way to put out a show on that
will see what I can do. I am about ready to pull this out of storage and get going on it again. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair any help would be great full and appreciate thank you
Gonna go uuuhnnn, uuuhnn, uuuhnn, love mechanic speak. 😄
Thank you for watching.
Follow up video coming?
How was test ride?
I will follow up soon. Thank you for watching.
Looking for part numbers for intake and single carberator
I just looked them up on Ebay starting with the manifold and the listing noted the carb you should get to work with it. Just search for single carb GL1100 and it comes up. Thank you for watching.
you have the ground wire to the (negative - terminal) and the 2 red ones (positive + terminal)
I'll check that out. Thank you for watching.
Could you please share a link to get the conversion kit
I simply looked it up on Ebay andd used the carb they recommended. Thank you for watching.
Where did you get the intake manifold for that single carburetor ????????????????
The blue tray is from Harbor Freight. My son got it for me. Thank you for watching.
that one looks like the ones Boiler-Boy makes, sells on Ebay. Comes with cable adapter too.
Where did you find this setup thanks Eddie
I just looked up the manifold on Ebay and used the carb they recommended. Thank you for watching.
How does it run ? Im undergoing the same process
I still have not finished this project. Stay tuned. Thank you for watching.
Was the carb straight out of the box.not rejetted.
I have not done any rejetting as of yet.
Gooood
Thank you for watching.
What brand carb was it
It is one form Ebay that the manifold maker recommended. Not sure of the brand. Thank you for watching.
What is make and model for carb
It is a 34 PICT-3 Carburetor from Ebay Motors. Thank you for watching.
Any Flooding issues
Not yet. I still need to finish this project. Thank you for watching.
Здравствуйте,а как поменялся расход топлива с одним карбюратором? Спасибо, удачи.
Thank you for watching!
@@RaymoreRepair Спасибо!
I'm going to put 4 of those on mine.
Sounds like a great project!
were can i buy this
Straight off of Ebay. Thank you for watching.
Hola que carburador le colocaron , desde ya gracias saludos desde Argentina lo mejor para ustedes hasta cualquier momento .
Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair Translation for my Latino Amigo Ray : Hello, what carburetor did you put in it, thank you in advance, greetings from Argentina, the best for you in the moment.
The folks in Ol Wing Land would like more references and specifics on your conversion Ray. Like the manifold, did you build it or buy it? What specific Carburetor did you use? I know ol VW single barrel carbs can work but in all these things its all about the set up.
And Ray seeing as your building a following, an influencer has many friends..... especially Corporate ones if you get my drift.
Is this would work on st 1100
No I don't think so. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair just wandering why
Did you ever end up jetting it? How is the fuel mileage? Thanks for the great video.
Not yet. Thank you for watching.
Dónde compró el carburador no lo puedo encontrar
thank you for watching.
El carburador es el 34 pict 3 que se usaba en los VW sedan (escarabajo) y algunos otros modelos como atlantic vendidos en México (eBay carburador bocar volkswagen sedan)
The intake needs coolant or oil run through it for heat. It's the only way to get consistent idle and performance.
That is something to consider. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair It can also be done with an electric intake heater like glow plugs but that is a big power draw.
You watch raymans
please look up how to adjust a vw bug carb , that is NOT the stationairy screw.,.
I am truly a novice when it comes the these carbs. I still have some tuning to do since I know it will change when I put it under a load. Thank you for your advice.
This is not the correct way you can’t tune the carb without the air filter connected you will have to do it again
You are probably right about that. Thank you for watching.
Nope don’t set your up this way.
Nat,
I certainly have more to learn about this set up and hope to get back on it soon. I did this more as an experiment since I wanted an alternative to the OEM carb set up. Thank you for watching.
