ISO 1982 or 1983 # 4 left rear carb body

yeah.......I'll probably give it a try tomorrow night. Let you know if it works!

Didn't try boiling it but when I heated it I took an L shaped pick and tried to push it out. I was never able to move it. Who ever broke it off must of really tightened it down hard.

Thanks guy's.....I tried heating the carb body and had no luck. If there was away to get a straight shot at the broken needle I could probably get it loose but because there is a slight taper to the needle it has to come out through the threaded end and there is just no way to get any thing on...

OK just got back from vacation, tried to put the 1000 tank in just before I left. In a pinch you can make it work buy building a bracket to be able to bolt the top bolt in but the tank will not fit between the frame rails with out some major hammer work on the tank. It's just too wide to go in...

Wonder if anyone has run into this before? I am in the middle of rebuilding the carbs on my GL1100 that I just bought in non running condition. Everything was going good, got 2 rebuilt and started on the 3rd. when I removed the pilot jet needle I noticed the tip was broken off. It is jammed in...

It looks like the filler may be slightly taller it is definitely smaller in diameter and will take another cap.......I haven't tried to put it in yet but it is the same shape as the old tank, just as if its a smaller scale. I think I am going to have to fab up a longer extension for the bracket...

My fuel tank on my 1983 1100 interstate that I just bought is full of rust. This bike has been sitting for several years before I got it. A friend gave me a tank that he had that is a lot cleaner then the one on my bike. He doesn't remember what year model wing it came off of. Today I pulled the...
