Carb sync

[vtrstormer]

Hi all has anyone made a carb sync or manometer to sync their carbs. Do you recommend them or is it better to shell some hard earned to get a name brand one?

I made one with some clear tubing and a ball bearing. looped it circular, taped it and attached it to two tubes I have set up in vacuum nipples.The one that goes to the tank I "T"d off. Found a bit of a how to somewhere (utube?). I had some "un natural" vibes at about 4.5k onwards and it sorted that out. Was a rough and ready bit o kit but seemed to do the job.
In the three - four odd years of having the bike, that is all the carby stuff I've done!

You could shell out on a proper manometer that would come in handy for an IL4 but twins are simple( allegedly).

Yeah thinking of making one that has the two tubes and is liquid filled. I was thinking about the proper set up but for what I need I think the home made one will work fine.

I saw the one you made on Facebook mate. Awesome job!
So where did you get the procedure from on how to hook it up and do the sync?

[vtrstormer]

Yeah thanks mate, very easy to do and works a treat and for $8 hooked up I couldn't fault it. The actual procedure I researched on the superhawk forum but have done it before but with proper gauges. The system I have used works very well and gives a great result, easy to use and very Cheap to set up.

Hi all, I found this online. Cheap twin vacuum Gauge set for our Storms $59.95 in Australia

They have heaps of other useful stuff too

I will get a set myself in a few weeks or so. But will have a go at setting mine up by ear for now, I have set up multiple carbs by ear listening down the throats by with a hose on cars I have setup over the years with great results, so worth a crack in the mean time lol
