1977 GL1000

#1

Post by Apinkston »

Hello, I just signed up for this forum to get some help with my new project bike. Today I got a 1977 GL1000 with 51,000 miles for $200. Definitely has seen better days. It sat outside for at least 4 years and is in need of some major work. Gas tank looked clean from what I could see, air box is clean, and there was water in the carbs that came out when I removed them. The Kickstarter moved the internals so I thought I was ok there. Peeked inside the cylinders and 1/3 are good, but 2/4 are disgusting. Could be rust, could be old gas, all I know for now is it’s orange goop. Thoughts?
