Motorcycle Repair: 83 gold wing carbs, nylon tubing, carburetor repairs


Question
thank you for your time.
Do you know what the technical name for the white plastic tube that sends fuel between the carbs halves is called and where I can buy just that part?

Answer
Charles....  Can offer you a couple of info options...

1.
http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-gl1100i-gold-wing-interstate-1983-us_model654/partsli...
for part numbers. I don't see anything listed that looks like plastic, however. The #16 knock pins are all metal, as I recall.

2. Go to an auto parts house (like NAPA) to see if they have some nylon tubing/fittings that will suffice. Lowes has a section of various types of vacuum lines and some hard rigid tubing on rolls there.

3. Go to the Randakk site for assistance. They are the carburetor wizards and have LOTS of GL info listed on their site, including carburetor repairs.
