goldwing project
Bryanj:
Just working on my mates 1200 trike and all the wings can have a charging problem, you need to check for AC voltage with a multimeter on al three pairs of yellow wires coming from the alternator (3 wires make 3 pairs) all three readings should be the same, the one I'm working on has one pair low voltage even though all three pairs seem to give the same resistance.
The reason they give trouble is that the generator is going flat out all the time and all the regulator does is dump current to earth when the battery voltage is up.
As the engine has to come out to swap the stator is worth checking as soon as you can

cheers Bryan will check as the wiring has been butchered in the past

lots of work been done and its back in one piece but having some issues with running. for the first few seconds when it starts with choke it sounds ok but soon seems to go off, in fact the two cylinders on the left don't seem to be firing as I can remove both H T leads with no change in the running.( they are on two different coils). things checked are: carbs cleaned and rebuilt, new cambelts renewed and timed correctly, new Honda points plate, gapped and timing spot on, new plugs. I did sync the carbs but difficult with the uneven running. I also checked compression which is similar on all cylinders, also checked and adjusted valve clearance. today took carbs off again and found a sticky piston, but no change in the symptoms. so a bit stuck, I still think its fuel related, I am using a remote tank with clean fuel. Any experts out there?

Hi Mick,
I know little about Goldwings except, like others, I always liked the originals. Only just caught up with this thread and laughed out loud when I read you started it and it was loud... not something I've ever associated before with a 'Wing!
Keep at it and good luck with the resto.
Cheers, D.

Thanks oddjob yes they are a bit different to the other fours, I cant sync them until I get it running reasonably.
