Motorcycle Repair: 83 Honda Goldwing high speed problem, wingthings texas, honda goldwing

Question
I bought the Goldwing via Ebay. It had been setting. I had the carbs rework and everything runs great except: Going up a hill in 5th gear and at 3000 rpm, it start to miss. What are your suggestions. It sounds like either it is not getting enough gas or too much. Thanks Rick

Answer
Hi Rick,

The problem as described is common with some of the older GL models.

The problem may also be attributed to lugging the engine up inclines. If so, try raising RPM by lowering to 4th gear when this occurs.

Here's a list of GL resources:
