    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...

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.

Carb sync and manometers?

Is it possible to use a single manometer on each cylinder one at time or does a seperate manometer have to be used all at the same time to sync the carbs?

I just need the # 3 cyl reading and then I can match all the rest, correct?

Thanks
 
Yes you can use a single manomter, BUT it is going to be very difficult and time consuming , also VERY prone to errors, I strongly suggest getting a set of four.

Dink is right. I think you could get by with a single guage doing a synch on a twin, but with four cylinders, accuracy would be poor and it would be VERY time consuming to even get halfway close. I would not consider it. A four tube mercury carb stix is about $40 at cyclerecycle.

Now that I think about it, yes it would leave room for alot of error.
I'm trying to find a four stick type in Canada, but I cant find any yet. I see there is a four tube mercury type from Dennis Kirk, but I have a feeling that it would have trouble making through customs because mercury is classified as dangerous material.
If there are any Canadians who have ordered one with no probs from the US let me know?? 'cause I will order one from Dennis Kirk then.

Thanks.

I live in Calgary and ordered this one without any problems:

Works great, and the people who make it seem like really good people to deal with.

You can get mercury ones through probably, MCD. They are, I believe Motion Pro. See your local motorcycle shop, a non-dealer, perferably. 8)

Most motorcycle shops in Canada can obtain a simolar unit from the Motovan catalogue. I chose to order the Morgan Carbtune unit, as Michael did.

Carbtunes are great. They will last forever. After having use vacuum guages for many years, the carbtunes make the job easy, quick and very accurate. They can also be used on newer bikes to do the throttle valve synch for EFI.
