Carburetor Synchronizer

[Guest]

Hi all, I bought a 4 gauge Carburetor Synchronizer from thealphamoto on ebay. This tool came with good quality brass adapters much better quality then motion pro adapters these are longer and have butt plug restrictors built in, also another set of 4 manual air restrictors, hoses and pretty clear instructions.
From the bat i was able to synch all four gauges to each other and then got my carbs synced in like 5 minutes. Bike never ran this well since i had it. I have zero affiliation with the seller just thought i'd give a credit to a quality tool for a reasonable price.

Honestly, I'm not sure I want to look either way...

Hi,

The Carbtune instructions just call them "restrictors".



They smooth out the vacuum from the carbs so that the gauges don't jump around so much.

Thank you for your indulgence,

One of the pains of analog dial-type gauges is that you have to synchronize the gauges to each other before connecting them to the bike. And you should really do that every time. For those of you with only one bike to work on, you will only be doing that every couple of years or so, so it won't end up being much of a pain. For some of the rest of us, those who have multiple bikes or travel to visit others to work on their bikes , a liquid gauge is priceless. I live dangerously, mine is actually Mercury, and it travels with me, whenever possible, especially if I am using my van.

the real restrictors are the little white jobbies. Yes the extensions have small ID's but you can really restrict the needle bounce by turning dow the restrictor thumb screw.

As Steve mentioned you should do an adjustment to get all the gauges in sync. You do that by connecting all together and remove the face plates. Adjust the brass screws on the face .

Only issue I have had is tha rubber hoses area little cheap but very functional for the price.

I have the very same set. the only negative is hose quality. I need to get some better hose and they would be outstanding. Great price for the tool though.

While reading through this thread I was also looking for a used carb synchronizer. Further procrastination at work brought me to another motorcycle forum,

http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php?topic=25310.0;all

and then on to a page outlining how to create a carb synch for yourself...interesting reading for all of the DIYs out there... http://www.650ccnd.com/mano.htm

P.S. I also went to Ebay and thealphamoto currently has none of the quoted carb synchronizers currently available
