All O-rings Are Not The Same!

The round o-rings in each Master Kit are made of Viton rather than ordinary nitrile (Buna-N) as found in other aftermarket carb kits. One good case of severe engine overheating can ruin the carb o-rings found in ordinary kits? Randakk’s o-rings are the best available!

Viton is superior to nitrile in terms of:

• Heat tolerance (400 degrees F vs. 250 degrees F)
• Compression set
• Permeation

We even include rebuild kits for the air cut-off valves as required for each application.

Recommendation

You will need access to good reference material for a successful rebuild, such as the official Honda Factory Workshop Manual.

There is some critical information there on rejoining and aligning the carb bodies to prevent binding of the throttle and choke shafts…very important!

We highly recommend pairing this kit with the world-famous Randakks GL1000 Master Carb Rebuild DVD.

Quick Notes:

All GL1000 Master Kits supplied by Randakk’s Cycle Shakk have fiber-reinforced float bowl gaskets to prevent problems associated with non-reinforced float gaskets. Some non-reinforced gaskets have proven to be reactive with some gasoline formulations and can sometimes swell to the point that float operation can be adversely affected. Fiber-reinforced (calendarized) synthetic rubber overcomes these issues.

No jets or jet needles are supplied with our kits. These can normally be cleaned and reused. “Dress” the jet tower cavities with crocus cloth or similar to remove oxidation and burrs, then use a lubricant like Vaseline to insert the main jets.

No float valve/seat assemblies in our kit.

No fuel filter is included. But it would be a crime to redo your carbs and not take prudent measures to ensure a pure fuel supply!

While you are at it, you should replace your fuel hoses as these can sometimes disintegrate from the inside out and be a source of fuel contamination in the form of small rubber fragments. We recommend that you purchase a length of high-quality 1/4″ fuel injection hose. You will need 3 sections: 1 piece 160 mm long and 2 pieces 150 mm long. The long piece goes from the fuel pump to the carbs…the short pieces go on either side of the fuel filter. Don’t forget to flush your fuel pump. Debris can collect here as well.

If you don’t split the plenum and renew these critical parts during your overhaul, you may have regrets later.

Considerable skill is required to install this high-quality kit correctly. Since Randakk’s cannot control this important variable, there is no warranty on these. Rest assured that they are of the highest quality materials and workmanship. Each kit has been carefully packed and inspected to ensure that all items are included.
