16101-431-014 +16102-431-004 + 16103-431-014 + 16104-431-004 and all of the 76+ pieces (without o-rings and seals) that make up the set.
This set has been on my shelves since 2003, awaiting time to review them. They came from a good running 1979 GL1000, same part as the later 1978. The drain plugs were pulled and the carbs drained, then stored high and dry. All linkage is intact and excellent.
This set is freshly overhauled with a Randaak Complete kit including all jets. All vacuum sliders, caps, plastic cap-top, springs, base screw and carb bodies: excellent.
The air cut-off was dissasembled: the diaphram is supple, clean, mobile. The float pins are tight and straight, the float-pin posts are in stock good condition, with zero corrosion. In short: this is a completely overhauled set, ready to synchonize to your bike, or for you to do the added polishing for the show.
Notes: 78-79 Carburetor Set 2025(1) Model: 771A
Used: The best kits available: $185US Randaak Full jet sets, X002GO7CNR, 4 of, all except needle-jets included.
Set Condition: Very good internal condition. From running 1978 model, removed in 2005, shelved high and dry since then. All jets reusable, but used the kits to replace with new anyway.
Renewed all gaskets, plenum split to check each carb, replace mount-gaskets.
New O-rings throughout, new air-inlet gaskets.
Float bowl pins polished. New float valves on new valve bases, with new o-rings.
Needle jets: three excellent, one with minor scratch above the flow-area (does not affect flow). Polished with 2000 wet paper.
Sliders, caps: interior polished to proper operation. Exterior of caps: basic polish to check for damage. All good.
Bases, bottoms: Body excellent regards the float pin towers. No corrosion. Needle and fuel towers, main emulsions new, secondary emulsions good: inspected, cleaned, all good. Fuel bypass port checked, cleaned, good.
Float bowl positions: all set at 21mm properly, all square and ready to run.
All air passages soaked, cleaned, cleared.
Linkages: all good, all lubed, good to place (do not relubricate: they have the best lube money can buy on them now. Lubricate in another 3 years). Bodies cleaned to work on, but not brought to collector cleanliness: you want them perfect, or cleaner, do that yourself. I have more than 8 picky and meticulous hours into these. A stiff toothbrush and a can of Honda Compression Cylinder cleaner will work wonders on the exterior if you want it better: do not leave the clener on for very loong and wash off thoroughly to complete, to retain stock finish.
Idle jets: renewed. Set at 2 turns: that should be done properly with the bike running, as well as having the linkage synched to have all carbs matched for fuel intake.
Bodies generally. Very good, although one base screw is suspect: #4 rear inside perhaps weak. Locktite Red applied to ensure it stays where it is.
Air cut-off: cleaned, inspected, checked as good.
Set-up with a set of my shop trim stays, all square and proper, no linkage binds.
Air hoses: are old, properly will operate well enough, but I would replace all hoses: old ones placed to keep debris out. 160cc of fuel hose and 50cc of air hose is all it takes. All clamps areattached now.
All cross-overs reconditioned with EZ lube (do NOT re-lube for at least three years, the best lube is there now).
Be prepared to re-set the idle screw on the bell when you start the bike. It is generally set now, but may be a high or low idle.
This set (and ANY set) MUST be synchronized to the bike before proper operation occurs. EVERY bike is different.
Generally, this is one nice set of 47 year old carbs that made it through the years on considerably above average condition. They should make your ride really enjoyable when set up properly. Maintenance in the future: At ANY time this bike will not be run for more than a month, put SeaFoam (2oz per 4 liters fuel) in the fuel, make sure it is run through into the carburetors. That will keep them clean, as well as all other components along the way: petcock, fuel-pump, and lines. A Goldwing that is driven often is a good "Wing".

Only about 350 of 2850 of our available parts require tariffs to be paid when shipped to the USA. Prices for GL1000 parts [made in Japan], any GL1800 parts produced after 2010 [made in Japan] are higher for my American friends, and this is why:
Effective August 29 2025: No tariffs on Goldwing parts from models made from 1980 to 2010: they were made in the USA. Prices on parts from pre-1980 and post-2010 Goldwing models, to US citizens (of which I have over 6000 really great people as customers), now include a tariff-tax, a customs brokerage fee, and a per item Customs document admin fee.
The costs, when they apply, must paid BY THE SELLER ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER, on ALL goods NOT MADE IN THE USA. That is the new USA tariff tax as of Aug 29th 2025: and it is USA law, and is effectively a tax on all products not *Made in the USA*.

USA REQUIRED TARIFFS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, NO duties due at delivery
PLEASE NOTE: Regardless whether the part attracts a tariff or not, we have REDUCED ALL PRICING by 35%, so there are some extremely good deals happening.Only about 350 of 2850 of our available parts require tariffs to be paid when shipped to the USA. Prices for GL1000 parts [made in Japan], any GL1800 parts produced after 2010 [made in Japan] are higher for my American friends, and this is why:
Effective August 29 2025: No tariffs on Goldwing parts from models made from 1980 to 2010: they were made in the USA.

OTHERS: PLEASE NOTE :
All customers outside of the USA who are buying "TARIFFED" items on the Straightwings site WILL BE REFUNDED 30% of the ITEM PRICE to remove those added costs, after purchase, based on your country which is not the USA.
Just buy what you need and we will refund the amount as above. We are working hard to encode the variances in our site-programming to segregate the pricing between the countries to account for the tariff taxes which may be due as is mandated by the US government but not other countries.
It is a very expensive and time-costly effort for us to help all *Goldwingers* to obtain often-rare parts when you are in the USA, but as well to be fair to all the buyers in outside the USA who are not subjected to that tax: but I will NOT desert my USA clients. I have worked hard for 25 years to make available quality parts which aid Goldwing riders. While the tariffs are most unfortunate between neighbours, the parts we sell are still great parts, properly assessed, at the fairest price possible. I hope all my USA customers understand this, and continue to patronize StraightWings, a premier Goldwing quality used parts site.
