Rob's Carburetor Rebuilds

GL1100 Goldwing '80-'83 KeiHin VB48's

GL1100 carburetors are commonly interchanged between the four years they were made. However, there are two types. GL1100 '80-'81 (VB48AA) and GL1100 '82-'83 (VB48CA). They do not share the same air screw setting, jet needle, or idle jet type. These bikes are made to be smooth and have torque. Using the correct parts will always make these carbs the best for a GL1100.

     Below are both types so you can see they are virtually the same. No mods are needed to mix and match so check your ID's for proper rebuilding.
