Ok, carb synching here we go! but...

[JimmyR]

Please tell me that the Emco carb synching meter is ok! Instead of tubes it has 4 meters with dials. I've attached the rubber hoses to the brass anal probes, and they do fit into the threaded receptacle on the engine ports.

My main question is about fueling while synching. Can I simply remove the tank but leave it hooked up to the carbs while sitting on a stool next to the bike? Can I leave the vacuum hose attached or does it need to come off and be blocked? I guess I would need to set the petcock to prime if that is the case?

I can use a longer fuel hose if necessary. And I have some spare vacuum hose too.

Thanks guys!

No need to block the port if it is connected to the petcock. Longer hoses are fine. I don't like that method, because I don't want to knock the tank over. I hang a bottle from the handlebars and start a syphon to feed the carbs. To stop the flow, I hang the bottle from the foot peg.

Did the Emgos come with instructions? If not, you calibrate the meters by connecting them all up to one cylinder and adjust them so they all read the same, with just a little bit of needle bounce. Then hook them up to the four cylinders.

Thanks mate! Yes they came with instructions but your idea is a good one. It did cross my mind. The main reason I want to use the tank is thatI'm afraid of making even more mess with a bottle!

If I can get this right I will be pretty pumped!
