and i thought it was weird that it didnt....ill get on that

and thanks bass..i didnt realize it was under colortune/carbtune....i guess the next step is to find a reliable tuner for a decent price

I'm sure someone on this forum in your local area would have the tools you need, no point in buying one until you know what you want.

I was talking to a guy yesterday that has a 73 Kawi 900. I was telling him how my bike clunks and rattles at idle....like a bad clutch. And thats what I thought it was.
This guy says no...that the carbs need sync-ing.

Funny he should say that coz my bike didn't do it before I rebuilt my carbs. Also..this guy has a manometer and when he does his 900, he says he'll do mine at the same time

A clutch rattle can be made to rattle a lot more with out of synch carbs, in fact even a bad rattle can be made to not rattle much if the carbs are synched well enough.

Will that guy just let you borrow his manometers?

You're doing this with a huge vacuum leak?
Use prime and block off the vacuum line on #2.

Or use a remote fuel tank, lawnmower tank, whipper snipper tank, etc. and block off the vacuum line like Bill said and then you can get a better look at what is going on in the carbs. The large fuel tank obscures a lot of vision.

Hes a member of the vintage club chapter I'm in. Hes an ok guy.

I put the tank on a barrel with a long fuel line.
