I post to many forums all types of Wing and trike knowledge and two lesser known forums tend to post very bad information. It is nice that the posters here have knowledge of Wings and you can get a good answer.
Let me relate this incident to you all. A gentleman I was to put new wheels and tires on his GL-1500 Trike it had a driveability issue, he was on another site where another Wing owner had a problem similar to his and he followed the direction that individual was given, his trike went from bad to worse to being towed to Honda on a trailer. The suggestion posted caused a big mess to the fuel system, in which the carbs had to be cleaned, rebuilt and synced; the fuel tank drained and cleaned and all the fuel lines replaced, filter replaced and the vacuum operated petcock replaced. The gentleman was set back close to $3000.00 to have his Wing running properly, he said if I find out the real name of the poster on that site who suggested the method, I'm going to send him the bill for the repairs.
I've discovered one thing on Goldwing Forums, there are people who know Goldwings and those who don't. The people here know Goldwings.
