GoldWing GL1000 GL1100 GL1200 Carburetor Fuel System Parts and Accessories

In 2008, Saber Cycle began offering new carb rebuild kits under our house brand, Barracuda Bike Parts. Our kits compare to the Napco kits, which were the most complete on the market. 

Honda never made OEM carburetor rebuild kits but sold each component by piece.  Carb rebuild kits were an aftermarket creation, of which Napco and Keyster were the most popular brands. Jets and needles have likely varied from the original specs due to carburetion refinements that were periodically reported through Honda bulletins, a result of field research, legislative regulation and feedback from the dealer and customer base. 

The GL1000 and GL1100 Honda workshop manuals do not provide jet and needle specs, likely because there was so much refinement going on.  The Honda GL1200 workshop manual was the first to offer jet and needle specs. They varied from year to year and California specs are set apart from the rest, indicating that emissions regulations, and not just performance, dictated carburetion back then.

Napco (Nippon Automotive Parts Company) and Keyster relied on the those final specs because Keihin, the carburetor maker of which Honda owned 40% at one time, supplied them the OEM components for their kits on what is referred to as the gray market.  To this day, OEM parts are not all sold under the Honda label but are sold under other brands.
