    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Do I Have To Re-Synch?

Getting ready to clean and re-build my carbs. I have noted the airscrew position of each carb from the seated position.

1.) If I don't mess with the synch adjusters in the picture below while I dip, will I still have to re-synch?

ddaum,
If you have the carbs off the bike, you already need to re-sync them.

if you dip the carbs, you definitely will.

When you see how little change it takes to affect the sync you will understand. When you sync the carbs, 1/12th of a turn makes a difference.
Just by pulling the carbs out of the bike, you might inadvertently micro-adjust that linkage. By dismounting them from the rails, you will change their alignment for sure.

I am going through this right now. It’s the 5-20th time I’ve needed a sync tool, so I might just spend the $40 to buy one. I even tried to make one out of tubing and tranny oil. It only balances 2 at a time, but I couldn’t get it perfect.

This last time, I found a thread on here describing how to use a wire wrap from a loaf of bread to get the butterfly valves in the ballpark of each other. Then you have to have some proper tools.

Thanks for the advice. I had no idea how to bench sync, but I found that article you were talking about with the bread twist tie. So I'm going to bench sync after rebuild and order a vacuum sync tool.
