1978 GL1000 Carb rebuild

1978 GL1000 Carb rebuild.
So the bike was popping, blowing smoke, and having to idle high so it wouldn't stall.  So I rebuilt the carbs using a kit from Randakk.  I made this video for my own interest as I rebuilt my carbs...It does highlight some things that Randakk doesn't cover in his video...like pointing out what 'o' rings go where, and other helpful tips...but do note I skipped some things (like draining the fuel from the bike)...so I suggest buying his video and using both mine and his to rebuild your carbs.  Some nice little tips included the video.  And some comedy.  Randakk is the master of the GL1000.  If you do a rebuild..spend money, save time, and use his video in addition to mine.

I have uploaded it to youtube in 3 parts because of time limits...It's just me, the camera and my carbs.

My first bike, my first carb rebuild.  Hope it helps.
