    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

analog carb sync gages question

Does anyone have a suggestion on what the vacuum reading should be on analog guages? What should I set the fist carb at in order to start the sync of the other gages. I have some Taiwan gauges that has color coding info for automobiles but has no indicators, besides vacuum measurements, for motorcycles.

I have a 1979 gs1000E with vm carbs.

Appreciate any feedback I can get thanks.

Numbers do NOT matter. :shock: What matters is that all cylinders are equal. 8-[

Before you sync the carbs, make sure the valves are adjusted and the ignition timing is set.

When you connect the gauges, look for the one that is reading the lowest and bring that up to the others. With your VM carbs, there is no particular order for which carb to do first, so just adjust the one with the lowest reading first.

After each adjustment, blip the throttle to make sure the adjustment stays set. After you tighten the locknut, check it again.




ps. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. :-\"
