❤ this is Mr. Rainey. I got a 82 red wing. I live in Tennessee close to Nashville, but it's locked up, been off. Road about 5 years. I found that it might brother-in-law on the ground. When after you bite you about 300 I paid 5. Honey help, I was watching you with carburetors. They tell somebody where you go, get all your parks. Nothing you tell us, we don't know. I got 11 heart GL. Just like your bike, can you give me a few pointers? Back breaks, work front. Don't and speak cable. I get the gas. It's frozen cletch works. Everything else works. It's just like you're bike. Need help please
I bought one too and restored it - worth over $6000 now - I bought mine for $500. Don't underestimate the value or reliability of that bike, It is a literal masterpiece. We rebuilt most of mine and it's almost ready to hit the road. Worth putting money into , big time. The gas tank - fill it with vinegar from the dollar store and let it sit for a few days. You can try rust remover also, but the vinegar worked for me and a pressure washer to douche it all out. Trust me, if you put $1000 and some time into this bike, you will have a lasting rider and a money maker on your hands.
Hi, Interesting to watch your video... I want your opinion about a 1980 Honda Goldwing that has been stored for at least 4 years. 1) Do you think is still fixable? 2) How much do you think is worth it? 3) With this information, any idea of how much I need to put it in normal condition? Thank you for your help and answers. AG.
Looks like a nice one. I had an '80 with single piston calipers. The '82 has the best brakes of the 1100s. Dual piston calipers and no interconnection. Riding a 1987 GL1200 now and want to take the fairing off. Oil in the air box is normal. Engine vent goes into the air box.
I did one 20 odd yrs. ago...Must replace those old carbs...notorious problem...got used carb off a 82 or 3 & the mechanic got all my patient work when I went sailing...
This was an excellent video and I am looking forward to watching more with this Goldwing :) I’m contemplating buying an 81 myself in a few days as a non running project.
@@RaymoreRepair watched through everything! I’m currently stuck on making a barebones wiring harness, just essentials no lights no frills just to get it running smooth while I restore the other parts. Any recommendations?
Well shucks, those air shocks are worth 300 bucks for sure....look fairly clean and good boots. The RED Light on dash is OIL Pressure. 1.1 Bar = 15.9 psi ...I personally used a 13 psi cap and it works fine. I almost NEVER try to re-build the starter, due to the exact reason you showed. It was dying for so long and abused, it almost never works out. Rick's Electric rebuilds em with a warranty for a C note, I start fresh. Nice try though. IT'S ALIVE. She's smoky but it lives.
Just bought a non running 78 GL1000 that I'll be getting back up and running. It has a new battery and turns over so it seems like it will be an easy one. :) My throttle is also stuck.
Could you tell me if you had power coming from the solenoid wire to the starter. Mine is doing the same thing the solenoid is clicking. But I'm curious whether or not you had power from one side of the solenoid that goes to the starter meaning 12v. Cuz my meter shows 0 from that side. Could you please help thank you
If you have zero volts on the starter side and can hear the starter solenoid click, it is most likely a bad solenoid. use a set of jumpers to go from one large terminal to the other and see if the starter will try and turn. Thank you for watching.
Hi. I’m having the exact same problem with my starter. Didn’t catch what you said after the second attempt at making the starter work. What was it you did to it to get it going ?
Good video but I'd like to point out that the radiator caps on Honda's are metric. 1.1 8:33 like you mentioned is 1.1 BAR and is around 15 psi. Mine has a .9 BAR cap which is 13 psi. Some caps on these bikes are 1.3 BAR and that's almost 19 psi
Holy Crap.....Greg?!? I knew that voice even after all these years. When you tripped out of your garage and I saw your face it confirmed it. Damon Adams here. How have you been sir? What's a good way to get in contact with you? I'm getting ready to revive my Dads old 76 Goldwing LTD.
@@RaymoreRepair I had already subbed before I knew it was you. I enjoy your content. Keep up the good work my friend. I hope to catch you around town sometime.
Awesome repair. I’ve got a gl1100 1983 goldwing interstate. She runs beautifully. She almost past inspection but the hand brake will not activate the brake light, only works with the foot brake. I cleaned off and replaced the electrical connections at the base of the hand brake switch but still it will not activate the brake light. Any ideas where I should start poking around?
Did I miss you adding oil to the engine? Edit: never mind, I see you mentioned to others (well, I was not the only one asking he same question LOL) that you added oil.
I cleaned my gas tank with vinegar. Lots of videos on line. Mine want as bad this one but it came out very clean. Bike has sat for over 10 years. I would like to find a video on setting the timing on a 1200. Any suggestions.
Hi, I have removed my starter motor several times and never got oil there as you did, maybe your baby had to much oil?. By the way, the terminal you soldered in the starter motor is a "live" wire comming fron the stator to the brushes and the rotor, that connection is really close to the brushes plate (ground), it is a great idea to insulate that terminal.
Yes That is the main feed of power to the rotor. Insulating it would be a very good ides. As for the oil. Yes it had about twice as much as it should have. I had never experienced the oil like that either. Back in the day I pulled several of these starter form GL1100 and GL 1200s and that was a first for me. I guess I'll start be checking the oil next time. Thank you for watching.
I did out oil back into it. I guess I should have showed that part as well. Some things I cut out to keep the videos from being too long. Thank you for watching.

I love seeing these old Honda horses getting a second chance.
Thank you for watching.
Terrific video. You have a very soothing nonchalance delivery. Enjoyable to watch.
i love it when engines awaken from a long slumber.
Me too. I really like taking old things other people just left behind and getting them going. Thank you for watching.
I was freaking thinking you had not but engine oil back in great video about try get my gl 1200 starting that been sitting 8 years
I hope this inspires you to get started on it. Thank you for watching!
Love the narration. I can smell the exhaust from here!

I bought a '78 GL1000 in Feb. of this year. I believe I am going to find your vids very helpful. Thank you

Superb video in all respects. Just about to tackle my 1981 starter problem and your starter motor strip down could well prove invaluable. Thanks
Thanks for watching.
amazingly useful video for all us goldwingers! keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
This was an excellent video and I am looking forward to watching more with this Goldwing :)
I’m contemplating buying an 81 myself in a few days as a non running project.
Go for it! Thank you for watching.
If you haven’t yet, do it, very fun to work with
I’m currently repairing an 83 aspencade I got for 400$! It runs needs a carb clean and some love for sure, I’ll be watching!
Sounds like a great deal. Thank you for watching.
@@RaymoreRepair watched through everything! I’m currently stuck on making a barebones wiring harness, just essentials no lights no frills just to get it running smooth while I restore the other parts. Any recommendations?
I've got an 82 Aspencade, still runs great. Dont forget to change the timing belt
Great bike just bought one...il post pics soon
Please do! Thank you for watching.

Carbs were always a problem on those, I had a 1000 wing . I remember that some 2 barrel holley carb swaps where available back in the day.
That was what I was looking for when I found this swap. That or I also remember a Carter Carb as well. Thank you for watching.
Right ... I had an '83 Aspencade and needed to redo the carbs ... What a nightmare that was. And the rebuild kit was expensive as hell ...
Just bought a non running 78 GL1000 that I'll be getting back up and running. It has a new battery and turns over so it seems like it will be an easy one. :) My throttle is also stuck.
Should be a fun project. Thank you for watching.

How did you get the fuel tank out?
Oil?
You drained it, then we saw it running 😮
Yes, i put oil back in the engine. You must remover the rear tire and fenders to remove the fuel tank.
Hi. I’m having the exact same problem with my starter. Didn’t catch what you said after the second attempt at making the starter work. What was it you did to it to get it going ?
The pole had come loose of the main wire in the starter.
How much would it cost to have an aspencade rebuilt?
Good video but I'd like to point out that the radiator caps on Honda's are metric. 1.1 8:33 like you mentioned is 1.1 BAR and is around 15 psi. Mine has a .9
BAR cap which is 13 psi. Some caps on these bikes are 1.3 BAR and that's almost 19 psi
Most all of them I see on OEM caps is 1.1. other are quite possible. Thank you for watching.
At the End: Screen is full of Smoke - a voice in the smoke: Yapp, she runs ;-)
Holy Crap.....Greg?!? I knew that voice even after all these years. When you tripped out of your garage and I saw your face it confirmed it. Damon Adams here. How have you been sir? What's a good way to get in contact with you? I'm getting ready to revive my Dads old 76 Goldwing LTD.

Check the connection inside the headlight or the connections up front. Thank you for watching..
What's witih "Raymore" title ??
I live in Raymore
I was born and raised in Peculiar @@RaymoreRepair
Did I miss you adding oil to the engine? Edit: never mind, I see you mentioned to others (well, I was not the only one asking he same question LOL) that you added oil.
Yes I did but thanks for keeping an eye on me. Thank you for watching.
I love my 81
Thank you for watching.
Do You have a Part 2 or 3 ? If So Where Can I Find Them ? I Need Some Help With Fuel System From Tank to Carbs & Overhauling Carbs !
Yes! I have posted the video on carb cleaning and getting them to work. I did not post much on the fuel tank. Thank you for watching.
I cleaned my gas tank with vinegar. Lots of videos on line. Mine want as bad this one but it came out very clean. Bike has sat for over 10 years. I would like to find a video on setting the timing on a 1200. Any suggestions.
Are you going to make more GL1100 videos? They are the best!!
Yes, I still am going to get back to this machine. I like these when they don't have all the fairings and bags. Thank you for watching.
oil?
I did put oil back in it. This is the one video I did not show that. Thanks for watching.
Did you refill the oil before you started reving it. ?
Yes did. thank you for watching.
I saw you drain the oil, did you put more oil in I hope?
Yes sir I did. But only the right amount. This thing was way over full. thank you for watching.
Yeah, that was bothering me, too. :)
Looks like when you popped that starter loose and all that liquid came out of there. Someone must have been overfilling to get to the starter dogs.
Yes, It was way overfilled with oil and I could smell fuel in the oil as well.

Well she runs.
It will get better.
You never told us the fix for the starter weakness issue.
The biggest cause was my Jumper cables were not very good. Thank you for watching.
Didn't you drain the oil out of it, and there you are revving the crap out of it????
I did out oil back into it. I guess I should have showed that part as well. Some things I cut out to keep the videos from being too long. Thank you for watching.
This bike in this condition to buy in Ireland would be around 3000 euros or 2800 dollars ,,about 6 or 7.000 in very good condition...
This thing is pretty rough but the guy just wanted it gone. Thank you for watching.
ugh that wiring. Why???
People tend to do whatever they know and will work at the time. You know the saying.. Temporary is temporary until it works and then it remains.
Must be a John Deere turn signal 🚥
Thank you for watching.
And smokes LOL
I think the smoke will clear up with some running. Thanks for watching.
the bike has a ding-a-ling ROFL
Thank you for watching.
Raymore learn English.
Thank you for your critique.
