Beautifully Restored GL1000 Carbs by Jouko Tomminen of Lahti, Finland (using parts from Randakk's)
Restored GL1100 Carbs (by Randakk) using Randakk's Master GL1100 Carb Overhaul Kit
Recent Testimonials:
"Thanks for your great products and the extremely helpful information on your website. Using your Master Carb Overhaul Kit and your Tech Tips, I've finally about got my '76 GL dialed in. It idles and runs better than it has in many years. Thanks again."
Todd Brasher - Chelsea, AL
"Randall: Thanks for shipping the GL1000 Master Carb /Overhaul Kit so quickly. This is for a '79 that I received in trade for some computer parts and work. The carbs are in good shape, but probably original. This will be my 3rd time around the barn rebuilding GL carbs, so I have a good idea what I'm in for ,-) FYI - before ordering your Master Kit I reviewed the $9.99 kits available online from another vendor. I ended up ordering your Master Kit instead. Why? Consider: each of their kits is $10, so for all 4 carbs I'd now be at $40. They also get $17.50 for the air cutoff valve, so that's $57.50. Plus, they charge for shipping, so their total is $63+ But, their combo does not include the petcock kit, central plenum gasket, special fuel seals, pucks, cotter pins, plenum bolts or fuel filter as in your Master Kit. Even if the parts in your kit were only "just as good" as the other guy's, your Master Kit is STILL the better deal IMHO."
Doug Rollins - Nampa, ID
"Thanks! Your carburetor kit and on-line advice worked wonders for this bike.....really helped me out. I want to give you all the kudos you're due! The previous owner had really messed things up...even had the air valve installed backwards. It purrs nicely now!"
Dick DeYoung - Oshkosh, WI
"What a difference! I was very impressed with the quick delivery and completeness of the Master Carb Overhaul kit. It had everything that I needed including the missing parts!!! Apparently the previous owner had the carbs serviced/cleaned and didn’t replace the small rubber “bung” passage plug that covers the Idle Jet on one of the carbs. I believe that this was the cause of a very rich condition that would foul a plug in under 50 miles! The bike had sat for about 5 years before I got it and was running very poorly – rough idle, sluggish response and would foul the # 1 plug constantly – all other plugs very textbook colored. Oh yeah, and was getting 25 mpg!
I replaced points, condenser, coils (though maybe I had an intermittent wire), checked that compression was good, valve clearances set correctly, carbs sync’d, even tried a hotter plug in number 1, etc. - I tried everything I could think of before I tackled the carb overhaul - including your “in situ lazy” method a number of times thinking I had a stuck float. You were right, I was way ahead of the game as the carbs were very clean when I opened them up.
After the overhaul (thanks for the Carb Top Service tips) and synchronization it now idles and accelerates smoothly – this is a very fast bike! I am now glad to ride this bike – it’s not fun riding on three cylinders! After 150+ miles, the #1 plug is perfectly colored and I’m now getting 38 mpg.
See the attached picture of the #1 plug before and after the carb overhaul…It’s amazing that a little piece of rubber in the right place can make such a difference!"
Keith Nemath - Sellersville, PA

Regarding GL1000 carbs, I strongly recommend that you retain the original 4 carb setup. You may be tempted to trash your carbs and go to a single carb conversion. These work well enough, but I don't personally recommend them. Most people who invest in these setups report significant performance "improvements." However, they are comparing their results with their dirty, poorly maintained and malfunctioning original carbs.
In my opinion, the theoretical simplicity advantage of a single carb is offset by:
As these landmark bikes become even more collectible, discriminating buyers are going to pay top dollar for only the most original specimens. Originality is important!
Allow me a little soapbox time. Early GL1000s are routinely criticized for having poor carburetion. The criticism has been repeated so often by so many that it has become accepted as fact. Here is my contrarian view: the early GL1000s have great carburetion setups! My personal '75 GL1000 show bike has flawless, near-linear carburetion…rheostat-like throttle response, no flat spots, starts easily, warms up fast enough and has a decent idle. My carbs are stock except for a few minor tweaks I make on all the carbs I service. I've owned and ridden many bikes. I believe the stock setup on a GL1000, properly maintained and tuned delivers results as good as you can reasonably expect on a 4 cylinder, 4 carb bike of this vintage with this level of performance.
If your carbs are clean (I mean REALLY), all your vacuum hoses are good, your air-cut off valve fresh, choke linkage free, butterfly pivots not worn out, floats set and operating correctly, vacuum pistons free, air and fuel filters fresh and you've synchronized AFTER all other tune-up issues are perfect, you should have excellent results. By the way, all bets are off if you've replaced the OEM exhaust with something else.
Be aware...certain EBAY sellers insinuate that they perform all the proprietary mods I'm famous for. I can assure you that it took many years to develop these special mods and I have not shared my methods with anyone. A casual review of the photos accompanying one recent EBAY ad clearly reveals many "shortcuts" that I would never even consider taking.

Another Randakk exclusive item. This GL1000 Master Carb Overhaul Kit includes everything you need (and nothing you don't need!) for a comprehensive GL1000 carb overhaul. This kit is proprietary to Randakk's...you won't find this available anywhere else at any price. I sourced the best available parts from 3 continents and combined them with my own exclusive items to make this kit possible. This kit is appropriate for any 1975 - 1979 GL1000 with original carbs.
(Consider this best value "Combo" offer...Randakk's GL1000 Carb Rebuilding DVD + Randakk's GL1000 Master Overhaul Kit - Save $10.00)
Note: The 28 round o-rings (4 each of 7 sizes detailed below) in each of my Master Kits are made of Viton rather than ordinary nitrile (Buna-N) as found in other aftermarket carb kits. Viton is superior to nitrile in terms of:
Did you know that one good case of severe engine overheating can ruin the carb o-rings found in ordinary kits? My o-rings are the best available! Viton Proof here.
Also, my o-ring sizes are quite precise. They are equivalent to the exact sizes specified by Honda for each fitment. Not "close-enough" sizes as in many of the other aftermarket kits I've evaluated.
All GL1000 Master Kits supplied by Randakk's Cycle Shakk have fiber-reinforced float bowl gaskets to prevent problems associated with non-reinforced float gaskets. Some non-reinforced gaskets have proven to be reactive with some gasoline formulations and can sometimes swell to the point that float operation can be adversely affected. Fiber reinforced (calendarized) synthetic rubber overcomes these issues. To be safe - avoid all non-reinforced GL1000 float bowl gaskets. These are still being sold by other vendors.
GL1000 Master Carb Overhaul Kit
Each kit provides everything listed for all 4 carbs + other items required for splitting and rejoining the plenum plus overhauling the air cut-off valve. Only the highest quality items are included. This kit has been thoroughly tested and approved by the world's leading authority on GL1000 carbs (me). This collection represents the best value available in the market. Trust me, you will need everything in this kit to do a proper overhaul of your carbs.
Here's what you get:
Viton O-rings - 4 of each:
- Fuel (idle) mixture screw - 2.8 x 1.9 mm
- Float valve assembly - (seat) - 5.7 x 1.3 mm
- Float bowl drain screw - 4.47 x 1.78 mm
- Primary main jet - 3.2 x 1.1 mm
- Secondary main jet - 4.2 x 1.1 mm
- Large carb-to-plenum (air) O-ring - 60.0 x 2.1 mm (this one looks "square" on the Honda parts diagram)
- Intake manifold - 40.0 x 2.6 mm
Be aware that aftermarket main jets sometimes are not sized properly...the O-ring grooves can be too shallow. This results in the O-ring fit being too snug. "Dress" the jet tower cavities with crocus cloth or similar to remove oxidation and burrs, then use lubricant like Vaseline to insert the main jets.
Gaskets - 4 of each:
- Fiber-reinforced float bowl gasket
- Air jet cover (kidney shaped gasket)
Special Carb-to-Plenum Fuel Seals - 4 of these:
- Randakk's Viton carb-to-plenum fuel seals. 4 are provided. See detailed description below.
Special Gasket - 1 of these:
- Randakk's exclusive improved Viton GL1000 plenum gasket.
Special Parts - 4 of these:
- Randakk's exclusive carb "pucks." See detailed description below.
Special Parts
- Randakk's Viton reproduction petcock rebuild kit (See detailed description here):
- 1 - Petcock disk
- 2 - Petcock-to-fuel tank seals
Miscellaneous Parts:
- 4 - Viton rubber blanking plugs (cover access to idle fuel jet)
- 1 - Air Cutoff Valve Overhaul Kit
- 6 - 1 mm cotter pins for linkage (simple item, but hard to find elsewhere)
- 4 - "E-clips" required for '75 linkage
- 5 - Special screws and lock washers in 2 lengths to rejoin the plenum halves. These are high quality zinc-plated screws...not soft crap like the originals.
- 1 - High quality aftermarket fuel filter
See: GL1000 Master Carb Kit Parts Location Diagram Tech Tip for proper location of these parts
My kit includes everything you need to separate and rejoin the plenum: plenum gasket, special carb-to-plenum fuel seals, carb-to-plenum "air seals" as well as 5 high quality screws in the correct lengths. If you don't split the plenum and renew these critical parts during your overhaul, you may have regrets later.
Note: No jets or jet needles are supplied with my kits. My experience is that these can normally be cleaned and reused. Aftermarket needles are not sized as accurately as the OEM needles and may introduce lean / rich problems where none existed. Unless your needles are worn or bent, I recommend reusing them. If you try to buy jet needles from Honda, you'll discover that they are only available as a set which includes the CV slide, cap and jet needle. The price will make you faint! If you need jets, buy aftermarket kits from a supplier such as Sirius (you'll still need my kit).
Also, there are no float valve/seat assemblies in my kit. Many aftermarket rebuild kits include float valve/seat assemblies of dubious quality. In the past, there have been many problems with these aftermarket items. Most of the problems related to the aftermarket float needles being incorrectly sized (too short) resulting in unreliable (or nonexistent) fuel shutoff. Some are OK. I've not included them in this kit, because the rubber tips and seats on the OEM item will last nearly forever and can usually be cleaned and reused so long as you install a new O-ring which I have included.
So, I've left float valve/seat assemblies out of my kit to keep the cost down and give you a choice on what to buy if you think new ones are needed.
If you decide that you need new float valve/seat assemblies, you can buy the OEM item and not have a worry. This way you'll also get new fuel inlet screens (the plastic strainers installed below each float valve). The Honda part number for the float valve set is 16011-371-014 (supersedes 16011-371-305 which superseded 16011-371-004). It includes the float seat, float needle, O-ring and screen. You will need to order 4 of these. There is no worry about getting the wrong part from Honda. Their system will always supply the correct superseded part regardless of what you request. Or, take a slight gamble and go with aftermarket float valve/seat assemblies which are available at reasonable cost from numerous suppliers. When you use aftermarket float valve/seat assemblies you will need to carefully remove, clean and reuse your existing fuel inlet screens.
I've also included the correct fuel filter to use with a GL1000. It would be a crime to redo your carbs and not take prudent measures to ensure a pure fuel supply! While you are at it, you should replace your fuel hoses as these can sometimes disintegrate from the inside out and be a source of fuel contamination in the form of small rubber fragments. I recommend that you purchase a length of high quality 1/4" fuel injection hose locally. You will need 3 sections: 1 piece 160 mm long and 2 pieces 150 mm long. The long piece goes from the fuel pump to the carbs...the short pieces go on either side of the fuel filter. Don't forget to flush your fuel pump. Debris can collect here as well.
If you're restoring to a high standard, you will probably prefer the OEM Honda fuel hose sections which come with the correct woven cover. These hose sections are still available from Honda:
#91320-371-000 HOSE, FUEL (5.5X160) 1 required
#91455-371-000 HOSE, FUEL (5.5X150) 2 required
My comprehensive kit represents real value. Compare with these Honda list prices:
Honda "Packing set" #16010-371-004 $47.84 list each (4 required ... 10 pieces in each)...$191.36
Honda "Gasket, Air Chamber" (Plenum Gasket) #16075-371-004...1 required = $28.24
Honda "Filter, Fuel" #16900-371-004...1 required = $20.99
Total for OEM Honda parts (42 individual parts) = $240.59 at list!!!
(Note: In fairness to Honda, their "packing set" contains 1 part that I don't provide...CV carb slide top to carb body plastic "bumper" rings. Honda is the only source I know of for this particular item. However, these last nearly forever. I have lots of good used ones if you happen to lose one.)
My Master Kit includes 69 total pieces (I count the air cutoff overhaul kit as only "1" piece in my total count even though it actually has a diaphragm, spring, 2 o-rings for sealing the air cutoff valve to the plenum + top cover O-ring. Depending on my supplier, the air cutoff kit might also include another special seal you won't use in this application. Also, I don't count the 5 lock washers for the plenum screws in the total part count).
Considerable skill is required to install this high quality kit correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty on these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship. Each kit has been carefully packed and inspected to ensure that all items are included.
Warning: Please open the package very carefully when it arrives. Many of the parts are very small so take appropriate precautions. If you chose to open the package in the dark over your gravel driveway, after 1 or 12 beers, please don't later complain that you are a "few o-rings short." Seriously, do be careful when you open the package!

"Hi Randall, I just wanted to let you know my 1200 carburetor project went extremely well. The difference is amazing. My air cutoff valve was definitely leaking and creating a need for prolonged choking. I really appreciate the fact that your GL1200 Master Carb Kit had all necessary o-rings in one comprehensive package. Just got the carbs synched this morning and took it for a spin. Wow! I have a whole new appreciation for this bike. Again, the bike runs fantastic. Thanks, and I will be spreading the word about you here in Washington state."
Dan Holiday - Marysville, WA
Another Randakk exclusive item. This kit is proprietary to Randakk's...you won't find this available anywhere else at any price. I sourced the best available parts from 3 continents and combined them with my own exclusive items to make this kit possible. This kit is appropriate for any 1984 - 1987 GL1200 with original carbs. Obviously, this kit will not service fuel injected models.
This kit has been created using the same philosophy as my industry-leading GL1000 and GL1100 Master Carb Overhaul Kits...my GL1200 Master Carb Overhaul Kit includes everything you need (and nothing you don't need!) for a comprehensive GL1200 carb overhaul.
Note: The ordinary round o-rings in each of my Master Kits are made of Viton rather than ordinary nitrile (Buna-N) as found in other aftermarket carb kits. Viton is superior to nitrile in terms of:
Did you know that one good case of severe engine overheating can ruin the carb o-rings found in ordinary kits? My o-rings are the best available! Viton Proof here.
Also, my O-ring sizes are quite precise. They are equivalent to the exact sizes specified by Honda for each fitment. Not "close-enough" sizes as in many of the other aftermarket kits I've evaluated.

GL1200 Master Carb Overhaul Kit
Each kit provides everything listed for all 4 carbs + other items required for splitting and rejoining the carbs to the plenum as well as the air cutoff valve rebuild kit! Only the highest quality items are included. The components in this kit have been thoroughly tested for fit and function. This collection represents the best value available in the market. Trust me, you will need everything in this kit to do a proper overhaul of your carbs.
Randakk's Master GL1200 Carb Overhaul Kit includes:
Viton O-rings:
- 4 - Fuel (idle) mixture screw (2.8 x 1.1 mm)
- 4 - Float bowl drain screw (4.2 x 1.3 mm)
- 4 - Large carb-to-plenum (air) O-ring (48.8 x 2.6 mm) I supply a Viton O-ring for this instead of the special seal Honda uses. My O-ring works as well or better than Honda's odd seal
- 4 - Intake manifold (35.5 x 2.6 mm)
- 4 - Main Fuel Tube (5.8 x 2.0 mm)
- 4 - Air-Cut Tube (6.9 x 1.3 mm)
- 4 - Vent Tube (6.9 x 1.3 mm)
- 4 - Anti-afterburn coupling pipe seals (9.8 x 2.4 mm) for models with secondary air supply system*
- 1 - Special O-ring for models with secondary air supply system (goes under anti-afterburn valve - supplied in all kits...35.0 x 2.1 mm)*
* supplied in all kits but not used on all models
Float Bowl Gaskets - 4 of each:
- Constructed of superior material to resist the components of modern gasoline.
- A real "formed" gasket like OEM...not a simple O-ring like in some kits (those are hellishly difficult to use!)
Randakk Float Bowl Gasket on the left vs. hard to use "unformed" ordinary O-ring found in some kits.
Miscellaneous Parts:
- 1 - Air Cutoff Valve Overhaul Kit ("slow air cutoff").
- 12 - 1 mm cotter pins for linkage (simple item, but hard to find elsewhere)
- 8 - Special screws and lock washers rejoin carbs to the plenums. Rarely needed. These are high quality zinc-plated screws...just in case! (6 x 20 mm)
- 1 - High quality aftermarket fuel filter (one of 2 sizes depending on model of carbs)
- 4 - Idle mixture screw washers
- 16 - Float bowl screws (4 x 16 mm)
Notes:
- Unlike a few kits, I don't include any stainless hardware for the reasons discuss here.
- The diaphragm in my kit is for the air cutoff valve on the bottom of the plenum (also known as the "slow air cutoff").
- Many GL1200 carbs have a second diaphragm on the bottom of the rack. This is the anti-afterburn valve. It is a component in the secondary air supply system - an emission control system used on both 49-state and California models (CA models add an additional evaporative canister). The second diaphragm is not supplied in my kit. They rarely need replacement. If you decide that yours needs replacement, they are still available from Honda - part#17440-MG9-641.
- The separately packaged, single O-ring in my kit (35.0 x 2.1 mm) seals the "reed box" chamber to the carb plenum.
- Depending on supplier packaging, the Air Cutoff Valve Overhaul Kit that I supply may or may not include a small special seal. It is not used on this model and may be discarded.
My kit includes everything you need to separate the carbs and rejoin them to the plenum.
Note: No jets or jet needles are supplied with my kits. My experience is that these can normally be cleaned and reused. Aftermarket needles are not sized as accurately as the OEM needles and may introduce lean / rich problems where none existed. Unless your needles are worn or bent, I recommend reusing them.
Also, there are no float valve/seat assemblies in my kit. Many aftermarket rebuild kits include float valve/seat assemblies of dubious quality. In the past, there have been many problems with these aftermarket items. Most of the problems related to the aftermarket float needles being incorrectly sized (too short) resulting in unreliable (or nonexistent) fuel shutoff. Some are OK. I've not included them in this kit, because the rubber tips and seats on the OEM item will last nearly forever and can usually be cleaned and reused. So, I've left float valve/seat assemblies out of my kit to keep the cost down and give you a choice on what to buy if you think new ones are needed.
If you decide that you need new float valve/seat assemblies, you can buy the OEM item and not have a worry. This way you'll also get new fuel inlet screens (the plastic strainers installed below each float valve). The Honda part number is for the float valve set is 16011-MB1-671. It includes the float seat, float needle, special washer and screen. You will need to order 4 of these. Or, take a slight gamble and go with aftermarket float valve/seat assemblies which are available at reasonable cost from numerous suppliers.
Warning: There are some aftermarket carb kits in the market that insinuate that they include genuine Honda float valve / seat assemblies. This disingenuous claim is highly dubious. Unless you receive these float sets in a sealed Honda package with a Honda part number, you are not being supplied with genuine Honda merchandise.
Another Warning: An Ebay vendor makes this recent claim: "they are the only correct, complete kits on eBay." Curiously, his GL1200 kit omits the air cutoff valve that I include. Likewise, he doesn't provide the 4 - Anti-afterburn coupling pipe seals for models with secondary air supply system. Judge for yourself, but I believe his claim is wishful thinking.
I've also included the correct fuel filter to use with a GL1200 (one of 2 versions). It would be a crime to redo your carbs and not take prudent measures to ensure a pure fuel supply! While you are at it, you should replace your fuel hoses as these can sometimes disintegrate from the inside out and be a source of fuel contamination in the form of small rubber fragments. I recommend that you purchase a length of high quality 1/4" fuel injection hose locally. Don't forget to flush your fuel pump. Debris can collect here as well. If you are doing a show quality restoration, you should use the OEM Honda woven-cover fuel hose sections.
My Master Kit includes 75 total pieces.
Considerable skill is required to install this high quality kit correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty on these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship. Each kit has been carefully packed and inspected to ensure that all items are included.
Warning: Please open the package very carefully when it arrives. Many of the parts are very small so take appropriate precautions. If you chose to open the package in the dark over your gravel driveway, after 1 or 12 beers, please don't later complain that you are a "few o-rings short." Seriously, do be careful when you open the package!

GL1000 / GL1100 Air Filter Base Gasket (NOT included in GL1000 or GL1100 Master Kit)
ANOTHER RANDAKK EXCLUSIVE!!!!
This is the large rubber gasket that fits between the air filter housing and the top of the central plenum.

GL1000 / GL1100 Air Filter Base Gasket
This part has been discontinued by Honda. For reference, the Honda part number is: 17221-371-000.
My piece is a perfect reproduction. Function and appearance is virtually indistinguishable from original. Mine's actually a bit better than the original in that it's made of a somewhat stiffer material. This allows it to stay in place much better when you are attaching the air filter housing to the plenum. Constructed of superior material to resist the components of modern gasoline. No adhesive is required or recommended!
This item fits both GL1000 and GL1100.

GL1000 Carb-to-Plenum Special FUEL Seals (included in GL1000 Master Kit)
Now
available - improved versions of Honda GL1000 carb-to-plenum fuel seals.

GL1000 Carb-to-Plenum Special FUEL Seals
New carb-to-plenum fuel seals are absolutely vital for a comprehensive carburetor overhaul on any 1975-1979 Honda GL 1000 GoldWing. When I do a carb overhaul on a GL1000, it takes me 6+ hours of labor to do a thorough job once the carbs are off the bike. Since I’ve done nearly a zillion of these jobs, I’m fairly efficient. It will probably take you all weekend. If you’re investing this kind of time, energy and dollars into an overhaul…don’t take shortcuts!
If you split the carbs from the central air plenum (as you should), you will positively need 4 of these seals. Your old ones will probably be 25+ years old and hard as a brick. Reusing the old ones will guarantee multiple leaks! Trust me on this.
The only way you can get these special fuel seals from Honda is to buy a complete carb overhaul kit (part number #16010-371-004). The Honda parts system nomenclature calls this a "Packing Set." Note that the "Packing Set" from Honda ONLY includes rubber parts and does not include jets, float valves and other items you will need to do a thorough carb overhaul. The Honda List price for the "Packing Set" set caps varies from $43.75 - $52.95 for each carb (US) depending on the greed factor of your local dealer. Again, you will need 4 of these packing sets just to get all 4 special carb-to-plenum fuel seals required to do one GL1000 motorcycle carb overhaul job…that’s a staggering $175.00 – $211.80 at list to get all 4!!!!!
Note: if you buy my GL1000 Master Carb Overhaul Kit, these special seals are included.
My special seals have precise dimensions and similar density as the OEM item including the radiused edge on one side. When you install these, remember that the "square” side of the O-ring is oriented toward the recess in each carb body... the radiused edge is oriented toward the plenum.
Constructed of Viton to resist the components of modern gasoline. These fit all 1975 - 1979 Honda GL1000 carburetors (4 required).
Remember - I'm selling these only in a set of 4 seals.
Considerable skill is required to install these high quality seals correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty with these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship.
If you are splitting your carbs from the plenum, you will also need my improved GL1000 plenum gasket as well as the GL1000 carb-to-plenum AIR o-rings sold separately.

GL1100 Carb-to-Plenum Special FUEL Seals
New carb-to-plenum fuel seals are absolutely vital for a comprehensive carburetor overhaul on any 1980-1983 Honda GL 1100 GoldWing.
If you split the carbs from the central air plenum (as you should), you will positively need 4 of these seals. Your old ones will probably be 20+ years old and hard as a brick. Reusing the old ones will guarantee multiple leaks! Trust me on this.
Note: if you buy my GL1100 Master Carb Overhaul Kit, these special seals are included. These fit all 1980 - 1983 Honda GL1100 carburetors.
Remember - I'm selling these only in a set of 4 seals (2 large + 2 small).
Important installation notes:
Only two main carb-to-plenum FUEL seals (large) and only two accelerator pump carb-to-plenum FUEL seals (small) are needed when rebuilding the GL1100 carbs.
The two main seals go on carbs #2 and #3 only and the accelerator pump seals go on carbs #3 and #4 only. Too many people will put extra seals on the GL1100 carbs in other spots where they'll fit, but they are not needed.
Constructed of Viton to resist the components of modern gasoline.
Considerable skill is required to install these high quality seals correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty with these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship.

GL1000 Carb-to-Plenum AIR O-rings (included in GL1000 Master Kit)
These
are the large carb-to-plenum AIR O-ring - 60.0 x 2.1 mm.
Somewhat confusing - these look "square" on the Honda parts diagram / fiche, but they are actually ordinary round o-rings. Note: if you buy my GL1000 Master Carb Overhaul Kit, these o-rings are included. These are included in some aftermarket rebuild kits, but omitted in others.
I've received so many requests for these, I've decided to make these available separately.

GL1000 Carb-to-Plenum AIR O-rings
These fit all 1975 - 1979 Honda GL1000 carburetors (4 o-rings required). Remember - I'm selling these only in a set of 4 o-rings.
No adhesive is required to secure these into the O-ring groove in the carb body...I install them "dry." I don't find it necessary, but it's OK to use a light smear of Vaseline to secure them in place during reassembly.
If you are splitting your carbs from the plenum, you will also need my improved GL1000 plenum gasket and the GL1000 carb-to-plenum FUEL seals.
Like all my orings, these are made of genuine Viton.

GL1000 / GL1100 Petcock Repair Kit (included in GL1000 and GL1100 Master Kit)
Better
than OEM quality, these proprietary Petcock Repair Kits are designed to work
in the both the rebuildable ('75-'76) and "non-rebuildable" ('77-'79) GL1000
petcocks. They are a simple, direct replacement for '75-76 petcocks.

GL1000 / GL1100 Petcock Repair Kit
Works better than the OEM item (which is not made of Viton). I am the exclusive source for this special repair kit.
Now you have an option other than total replacement for the riveted construction petcock Honda introduced in 1977. No one knows for sure why Honda went this route with the petcock. Probably managed to save a few cents in manufacturing and assembly labor. The small savings pale when compared to the expense you encounter when you were forced to replace rather than rebuild a petcock!
Minor modification of the petcock is required to use these repair kits in '77-79 GL1000 petcocks. The same modification will allow you to rebuild any '80 - '83 GL1100 petcock with this kit as well as well.
Here's a Tech Tip that explains the rebuild and petcock modification process: http://www.randakks.com/TechTip31.htm
Each Kit includes 3 pieces:
1 Special Petcock Sealing Disk (Reproduction of Honda Part# 16955 268 020 "Valve Gasket" a ubiquitous part used on dozens of Honda models over the years...the Honda part is sporadically "discontinued")
Diameter: 20.18 mm Thickness: 3mm 4 holes in disk...each with diameter of 6mm2 Special Fuel Seals to attach the petcock to the fuel tank
Considerable R&D effort (and investment!) has gone into this project. These rebuild kits fit and function better than OEM. Constructed of Viton to resist the components of modern gasoline.
The 2 special special fuel seals included in the repair kit have precise dimensions and similar density as the OEM item including the radiused edge on one side. When you install these, remember that the "square” side of the seal is oriented toward the recess in petcock... the radiused edge is oriented toward the fuel tank.
Considerable skill is required to install these repair kits correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty with these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship.
These kits fit Honda '75-'79 GL1000 and '80-'83 GL1100 petcocks. As noted above, minor modification of the petcock is required to use these in '77-79 GL1000 and '80-'83 GL1100 petcocks.
Note: These also fit an number of other Honda petcocks from the same vintage. Contact me if you'd like to verify other fitments.
GL1000 / GL1100 Petcock Repair Kit - Viton
Price: $16.00 per repair kit for 1 petcock including US domestic shipping and handling.

Improved GL1000 Plenum Gasket (included in GL1000 Master Kit)
Improved Second Generation RANDAKK version!
Made
of genuine Viton. My second generation GL1000 Plenum Gasket incorporates
significant material, shape and density improvements engineered into the design
by my rubber engineer.
Works better and is less expensive than the OEM item (which is not made of Viton). I am the exclusive source for this special gasket.
Improved GL1000 Plenum Gasket
When you split the carbs from the central plenum during an overhaul (as you should!), you will need the special gasket to join the two halves of the plenum back together. Until now, this item was only available from Honda. The Honda parts system nomenclature calls this a "GASKET, AIR CHAMBER." The Honda part number is 16075-371-004. Honda’s list price is currently $34.16 each.
A new plenum gasket is absolutely vital for a comprehensive carburetor overhaul on any 1975-1979 Honda GL 1000 GoldWing. When I do a carb overhaul on a GL1000, it takes me 6+ hours of labor to do a thorough job once the carbs are off the bike. Will all due modesty, I’m internationally famous as a GL1000 carb wizard. Since I’ve done nearly a zillion of these jobs, I’m fairly efficient. It will probably take you all weekend. If you’re investing this kind of time, energy and dollars into an overhaul…don’t take shortcuts!
This is a complex gasket which seals various fuel and vacuum passages which snake through internal passages within the plenum. Your old gasket will probably be 25+ years old and hard as a brick. Reusing the old one will guarantee multiple leaks! Trust me on this.
Considerable R&D effort (and investment!) has gone into my second generation plenum gasket. This special plenum gasket fits and functions better than OEM. My reproduction plenum gasket has precise dimensions and similar density as the OEM item including the radiused edge on one side.

No one else will sell you these special, improved plenum gaskets. These fit all 1975 - 1979 Honda GL1000 carburetors (1 required per bike).
Considerable skill is required to install this gasket. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty with these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship and have been thoroughly tested (by me).

GL1000 Carb "Pucks" (included in GL1000 Master Kit)
ANOTHER RANDAKK EXCLUSIVE!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE ELSE, FROM ANYBODY, AT ANY PRICE UNTIL NOW...THESE ARE NEW!
This circular aluminum disk is the carb "puck." You may see it referred to in some manuals as a passage plug, but don't confuse it with the rubber passage plug which covers the access to the idle fuel jet.

GL1000 Carb "Pucks"
This "puck" is a critical part about the size and shape of a large aspirin tablet and is located beneath the fuel bowl gasket in the main carb body. It's necessary to cover the access point used in the manufacturing process to create the by-pass transfer ports for the idle circuit.
During a carb rebuild, it's imperative that you remove these to clean the hidden idle circuit passages. Usually, compressed air applied through the idle mixture adjustment screw hole will pop them out (and cause them to fly across the garage!). Sometimes, they are really stuck and solvents are necessary (apply through the idle mixture adjustment screw hole...I use an overnight treatment of PB Blaster). Occasionally, heat is necessary to free them. Sometimes they won't budge and it's necessary to remove them with brute force. In these cases, I drill a small pilot hole and "install" a sheet metal screw into the puck to provide the purchase necessary to remove. I never reuse pucks that have been forcibly removed and neither should you.
Unfortunately, the pucks have never been available from Honda (unless you buy a whole carb assembly!). I've always thought this a bit odd, since they appear on the original parts microfiche but are not listed as an available part. If you've lost or damaged these pucks and need replacements, you will need access to a stash of salvage parts or buy my new reproductions.
These have been made to very precise tolerances using CNC automated lathe equipment. Fit and function are equal to or better than the Honda OEM item.
Considerable skill is required to install these correctly. Since I can't control this important variable, there is no warranty with these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship.
GL1000 Carb "Pucks"
Note: These do NOT fit GL1100 carbs. The pucks on GL1100 carbs are pressed in during manufacturing process. Do NOT try to remove pucks on GL1100 carbs!!!
Note: I'm selling these only in a set of 4 pucks.
Price: $16.00 per set of 4 including US domestic shipping and handling.
International orders: Read this and please contact me before placing an order! I will send special ordering instructions. PayPal "Add Item to Cart" buttons are for domestic United States of America customers only.

GL1000 Float Pivot Pins (NOT included in GL1000 Master Kit)
RANDAKK EXCLUSIVE!!! THESE ARE NEW!
Up until now, float pins have been available only from Honda as part of a "Float Set" which includes the float. The Honda part number for the set is: 16013-567-004 which currently lists for $22.46. So, to get 4 float pins, you would have to spend $89.54!
GL1000 Float Pivot Pins
Float pins can be a bear to remove. Often they are bent or damaged in the process. Sometimes, they must be "sacrificed" to avoid breaking the float pivot posts cast into the carb body. Read item #10 is this list of Top Honda GL1000 Carb Rebuilding Mistakes.
Note: These will not fit GL1100 carbs! GL1100 float pins are here
These pins are made from precision ground alloy steel. They are cut to length to close tolerance and finish turned in a collet chuck.
They include the proper taper on one end (this is the end you should insert first...removal is always in the opposite direction). Be sure to de-burr the float pivot post bores on the carb body before installing these. Make sure the corresponding bores in the floats themselves are free of burrs as well. The float must pivot freely when installed for proper operation.
GL1000 Float Pivot Pins
Note: I'm selling these only in a set of 4 float pins.
Price: $17.00 per set of 4 including US domestic shipping and handling.

GL1100 Float Pivot Pins
Float pins can be a bear to remove. Often they are bent or damaged in the process. Worse, ham-fisted removal efforts unfortunately can result in broken float pivot posts which ruins the whole carb body. Be careful removing these! Liberal and patient soaking with PB Blaster or equivalent is advised before you attempt removal.
Randakk's float pins are designed specifically for the Honda GL1100. They are made from from precision machined stainless steel stock to precise dimensions. They are cut to length to very close tolerances and the ends are finished just like OEM.
Note: These will not fit GL1000 carbs! GL1000 float pins are here
Be sure to de-burr the float pivot post bores on the carb body before installing these. Make sure the corresponding bores in the floats themselves are free of burrs as well. The float must pivot freely when installed for proper operation.

GL1200 CV Slide Diaphragm Replacement Set (NOT included in GL1200 Master Kit)
High quality replacement set of 4 CV diaphragms for the Honda GL1200. Note: These are designed to fit onto your existing CV slides.
GL1200 CV Slide Replacement Diaphragms - Set of 4
These replace the diaphragms which were usually obtained by ordering Honda part #16111-MG9-004 (early GL1200s) or #16111-ML8-741 (later GL1200s). The price of those would make you faint...they range from about $120 - $150 each as of this writing! Worse, they have been discontinued by Honda.
Constructed of superior material to resist the components of modern gasoline.
Simple installation: my kit contains compete instructions to allow you to transfer these new diaphragms to your existing CV slides. Restore new performance at a fraction of the normal cost of this repair.
Beware: There are some reproduction slide / diaphragm assemblies in the market that force you to discard the high quality OEM Honda CV slides. Why throw out perfectly good slides? Worse, I have examined these reproductions and found the rubber to be inferior to the material used in my diaphragms.
To install the new diaphragms, the OEM top retaining ring on the CV slide must be cut and removed. The replacement diaphragms have an improved design (thicker around the center) which permits them to be installed without replacing the top ring.
They are secured with the type of adhesive use to bond rubber tires to the wheels of remote controlled (RC) cars which can be found in any good RC/ Hobby shop or online. The recommended adhesive is Zap-A-Gap CA+ This comes in several viscosities. The yellow label version is ideal.

2. Chrome stays, choke and throttle linkage (pins, cotters, bushings, spacers, springs, bell-crank, fasteners, links, etc.) carb tops and intakes runners must be present, intact and included.
3. Seller pays for shipping and insurance.
4. Here are the US carb identification codes for the early GL1000 carbs I seek (stamped on each carb where it attaches to the central air plenum):
1975 - 755A
1976 - 758A
