here is a shot of the intake boot from my Gs750 vs a GW manifold. GS boot is 1" diameter, GW is 1 5/8" across. Granted it's a 750 vs a 1100 so maybe bigger GSs had way bigger carbs.
I now have 75 heads for my engine that has low millage. Should I pick up a set of 1100 heads an swap the cams or just run them like they are with the 32dtf. This engine gets the mod. Also waiting on the radiator an electrical stuff to .. input welcome money comes in time wanting to build from the block out once thanks.. :builder:[url=https://www.classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=133407#p133407:2gohjkbc said:dan filipi » Sun Oct 12, 2014 6:38 pm[/url]":2gohjkbc]
Yeah it's funny, I have mentioned to Joe that a couple times after I redlined and beyond this 1200 with the stock valve train that evidently the hydraulic adjusters couldn't keep up and I lost compression on at least one cylinder.
It took letting rpm come back down for compression to recover but it goes to show that a single carb setup can outperform other parts of the engine (the next weak link in the chain) and that there is so much more can be pulled from these engines that Honda choked back to meet EPA or satisfy liability lawyers or whatever.
That is a very strange feeling of vibration when a valve gives up and you loose compression.
This engine may just get 1100 heads and 1000 cams afterall.
That's a better question for Joe because I don't know for sure if the 1000 and 1100 valve's are the same.[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=138904#p138904:38regamg said:CRAFTMAN6001 » Thu Jan 08, 2015 5:53 pm[/url]":38regamg]
