Carburettor Refurbishment

GL1000 only at the moment - others to follow later

To This!

Your carburettors can be rebuilt to this standard.

Carbs totally stripped and ultrasonically cleaned.

All new gaskets and 'O'rings

Throttle shaft felt seals replaced if requested.

We can also fit our own shaft seals at extra cost.

Plenum chamber split, cleaned and new gasket.

Worn or broken parts replaced with new.

Air cut-off valve rebuilt.

Statically balanced.

Carb tops polished.

Choice of OEM style screws, stainless cap screws or stainless button head screws.

If the white buttons on yours are in the usual crazed or cracked state, they can be beautified with RetroRide's buttons,

either red on white as shown here

or silver on black as seen on my own engine on the left.

Included is a new fuel filter and Randakk's fuel tap gaskets.

From This!

We will normally use only the best in soft parts; that means those supplied by Click the image to find out why!

Replacement hard parts are normally Keyster if we cannot locate some of the hard-to-get OEM ones.

This a recently completed set of 755B. We are now using stainless button head screws thoughout as these look more like OEM than the more usual Cap screw but with the advantages of the Allen head. All washers and split pins are now in stainless too. This particular set has had the felt seals on the throttle spindles replaced with our own seals. This is an extra cost option.

We are still having a problem locating a plating company willing to do small batches of small parts, so for the time being your plated parts will be cleaned but not re-plated. They can be painted on request.

Obviously, with carbs that are 30 odd years old, parts can be worn out, damaged, missing etc.,
we can only give a rough guide as above, until we have the carbs in our hands. We would keep you informed as we went into them so that there are no nasty surprises at the end!

We may do a part exchange. Contact us with details of your old set.

If we find that your carbs are not fit for refurbishment, we will attempt to find you another set.
Keep in mind that a decent used set of carbs will set you back anywhere between £75 and £150 on their own. Randakk's kit and the jets, beauty buttons and drain screws come in from the States; with shipping, Customs duty and VAT to add to that.
There is a minimum of 12 hours work to get a set of carbs done to this standard.
The price does not amount to much per hour!

Could you save money and do it yourself?
Sure you could. You do have an ultrasonic cleaner, yes? If you want to get them properly clean, you'll need one.
You want to pull in parts from Canada, England and different parts of the States?
Do you have the contacts to get replacements for any broken or unservicable parts?
I have 40 years experience of working with this kind of stuff; can you say the same?

Here's my guarantee: If you have a problem with anything we have done (or not done!) when you get them, return them and I will fix it and refund your shipping!
