hi wrenchead25. I think you still have plugged carbs. the pilot jets are not removable on a 81 gl1100 an therefore are very difficult to get cleaned.it can be done but a better option is to find a set of 83 gl1100 carbs. the pilot jets are removable in this year an will bolt right up with no problems.
