Randakk's Own GL1500 Master Carb Overhaul Kit

WORLD'S BEST GL1500 KIT! Now Available!

Testimonials: click here

My GL1500 Master Carb Overhaul Kit includes everything you need (and nothing you don't need!) for a comprehensive carb overhaul. These carbs are quite simple and very easy to overhaul. The most difficult part is removal and re-installation of the body "Tupperware," etc. to get to them!

If you've studied Honda's parts fiches for each model year (as I have), you will discover that Honda made many mistakes, duplications, omissions and outright illogical content decisions in their coverage of carb repair "packing sets" for the GL1500. One example: the only way to get the necessary orings for the accelerator pump discharge tube from Honda is to buy a whole new accelerator pump discharge tube! Aftermarket repair kits suffer from all these problems (and more!)

I've rationalized the content of my Master Kit to avoid all these issues. You will have all the expendable parts you need to do a thorough, comprehensive 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 in a unique combination that represents real value. This kit is appropriate for any 1988 - 2000 GL1500 with original carbs.

Note: The 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:

Heat tolerance (400 degrees F vs. 250 degrees F)
Compression set
Permeation

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 aftermarket kits I've evaluated.

Contents of Randakk's GL1500 Master Carb Overhaul Kit

Easy install once you get to this point!

Unlike ordinary aftermarket kits, each Randakk kit provides everything listed for both carbs + other items required for splitting and re-joining the carbs. I even include rebuild kit for the accelerator pump.

Only the highest quality items are included. This kit has been thoroughly tested. 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:

2 - fuel (idle) mixture screw (2.8 x 1.1 mm)

2 - float bowl drain screw (4.3 x 1.3 mm)

2 - air cleaner base seal oring (above air horn...94.84 x 3.53 mm)

Accelerator Pump O-rings - install with accelerator pump on right carb (supplied in all kits)

2 - accelerator pump fuel pipe (3.8 x 2.0 mm)

1 - accelerator pump passage at right float bowl (2.8 x 1.9 mm).

Jet Holder O-rings - install at "jet holder" inside most '92 and later carbs only (but supplied in all kits)

2 - slow jet (2.8 x 1.3 mm)

2 - primary main jet (2.8 x 1.3 mm)

2 - secondary emulsion tube (6.0 x 1.3 mm) ...mounts under washer on emulsion tube that secures holder.

Float Bowl Gaskets - 2 of each:

Constructed of superior Viton material to resist the components of modern gasoline.

Miscellaneous Parts:

2 Intake chamber seals (below air horn)

1 accelerator pump overhaul kit with rubber bellows (omitted by some suppliers)

2 idle mixture screw washers

1 mm cotter pins - 7 supplied (simple item, but hard to find elsewhere)

1 fuel filter

My Master Kit includes all needed o-rings including the 3 "jet holder" orings inside later carbs.

Note: No jets, needles or other calibrated parts are supplied with my kits. My experience is that these can normally be cleaned and re-used. If you decide you need any calibrated "hard" parts, spring for the genuine Honda bits. In most cases, these are readily available from Honda.

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. If you decide to reuse your existing float assemblies, be sure to remove and clean the small fuel strainer beneath the float seat!

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 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).

My GL1500 Master Kit includes 30 total pieces (I count the accelerator pump kit as only "1" piece each in my total count even though each actually has a diaphragm, spring, boot, etc.).

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!

Randakk's GL1500 Float Pivot Pins (NOT included in GL1500 Master Kit)

RANDAKK EXCLUSIVE!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYWHERE ELSE, FROM ANYBODY, AT ANY PRICE UNTIL NOW...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 GL1500 float set is: 16013-MAM-000 which currently lists for $34.60 each. So, to get 2 float pins, you would have to spend $69.20 at full retail!

GL1500 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 GL1500. They are made from from precision machined stainless steel stock to precise dimensions. They are cut to length to very close tolerances. One end has a useful bevel.

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.

GL1500 Float Pivot Pins

Note: I'm selling these only in a set of 2 float pins.

Price: $17.75 per set of 2 including US domestic shipping and handling.

I usually ship within 48 hours of receiving your order.
