Dump some Seafoam into the tank and get cycled thru the carbs then ride if for a half hour, see if that helps...

To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, January 18, 2009, 9:07 PM Hi Guys and Gals, Long time no post for me. I need a second opinion on this. My mother has a 1985 GL1500 Goldwing trike. I got it to start the other day after about 10 minutes of trying. It only backfired once (that time) I tried to start it yesterday and I had to leave the garage open to air out the fuel smell for about an hour. And it never did start that time. But backfired 3 times and made carbon marks on the floor on both sides. I am thinking it has MAJOR carb issues. I think it is running very rich or has a blockage. Like I said it smell like gas even when I just turn on the key and TRY to start it. I have not even taken the panels off of it yet so here is what might be considered a stupid question. It is a six cylinder bike. Does it also have 6 carbs? I think it does but I cannot see any part of the motor because of the plastic covering EVERYTHING. Here is a pic of the bike. I know I have to rebuild the carbs but could it be anything else also? Thank you in advance. I just hope I was clear enough. THANKS AGAIN Jeff Rumer (Magilla) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
