    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.

Today, after discovering that one of my floats had a microscopic hole in it, I

repaired it and went for a ride. I've noticed that there is a great difference in

exhaust pressure from one pipe to the other and also in sound. I'm fairly certain

that this means a sync is required. any other knowledge is welcome.

Zach,

Carb sync is a great place to start.

Before I had a carb sync tool, I made one from 1/4" clear tubing and some bight red tranny fluid. I tacked the tube to a scrap of plywood about 4 feet long and ran the tubes to the two carbs. The only worry is that if your carbs are WAY off, it can suck some of the fluid in. That's why you use the tranny fluid, it won't hurt it much and it's easy to see.

I think I found some barbed nipples at the hardware store to screw into the head, but my memory is a little foggy on that one.

I actually used this method on multi-cylinder bikes by balancing the three individual cylinders to one.
 
Wow, I just googled "DIY carb sync tool" and got tons of great ideas.
Google Search

Pretty sure the internet wasn't around when I made my first DIY sync tool. Would have been very helpful back then.
