I Surrender!
After much thought and consideration, I am going to throw in the towel, and sell off the parts on eBay. As much as I would like to have gotten this bike to run, I just can’t justify spending several hundred more dollars taking it to a mechanic. I have already invested more than I originally anticipated, and am losing money on it. I have spent dozens of hours trying to get fuel to the engine, but still, all I have is a big door stop.
So, my next adventure will be taking it all apart, posting the parts on eBay and selling off whatever I can get money for. I will document the process and post pictures and descriptions as I go along.
It will be an experience trying to properly price all the parts. I will need to do some research before I post them for sale.
I intend to watch for a good used Gold Wing, but I will NOT buy one that does not run. I learned my lesson on this one.
Hey Iggy….
Sucks to hear that you need to give up on the bike. Isn’t there any Honda forums that anyone can give suggestions on?

I have gotten loads of suggestions, but none of them have done any good. I have had 4 different people come over and look at it too. It needs a trained Honda mechanic to look at it. Honda dealers only work on bikes up to 10 years old. It is just not worth sinking any more money into.
