20 Most Recent 1996 Honda GL 1500 SE Gold Wing Questions & Answers

from all I have read the gold wingers rely more on volume than pressure. Being a mechanic on most all motors from cars to go carts a certain amount of pressure is needed even from gravity fed engines. 3 to 7 lbs should b abought right for most carburated engines.
