The talk about carb cleaners reminded me of my old Goldwing. When I got the GL1200 it had all the symptoms of dirty carbs. Getting the carbs of that bike is supposed to be quite difficult, so I found this article:
http://www.goldwingworld.com/pages/Carb-cleaning-GL1000.htm It talks about a "Yamaha carb cleaner". I found the product, followed the instructions in the article, and it worked just as advertised. Next day the GL was running like a completely different bike. However, I am not sure if this is the same product Glen is talking about. In any case, it worked amazingly well for me. Javier.
