    Carb sync?

    I'm sure this has been discussed a 1000 times but the search isnt working for me at the moment. I just picked up my first gs750 and pulled everything appart. I am rebuild the carbs and want to make sure they are synced properly. How can I check this/how do I sync them? any info or articles would be great if some one could just point me in the right direction.

      Hi,

      I found this other thing on some other guy's website.

      Synchronize Carburetors
      (With the Morgan Carbtune)

      You should read the "mega-welcome" in your other thread.



      Thank you for your indulgence,

            The Morgan Carbtune is the absolute best, no question.

                Hi,

                There's no need to calibrate the Morgan Carbtune, it's calibrated at the factory. It uses weighted cylinders in the tubes instead of liquid or mercury. They don't bounce like cheap dial gauges can. Yes, you can use it on a 2-cylinder engine.

                The only little nit-picky thing I have to say about the Morgan Carbtune is that they ship with cheap plastic vacuum port adapters. Spring for the good brass kit from Z1 Enterprises.

                  I agree with the opinions on the Carbtune.

                  If my mercury gauges ever die, I will get one.

                      Cliff..the only way "cheap dial guages bounce" is if the owner doesnt know how to use the dampner valves to adjust the baounce out.

                      I have Emgo dials and they are rock steady and I would be willing to bet I can set carbs as close as anyone can with those overly expensive Morgan guages.

                        i prefer the dial gauges as well, more accurate if you ask me, and as Chuck says, they only flap about if they are not dampened correctly.........

                          Adrian..I also fold up a rag to place between the guages and the frame to take up and vibrations thru the frame. Just a little extra precautuion.

                            my gauges come in a "rack" mounted in a metal case, which is suspended in mid air while synching. it is very usefull as you have the gauges at eye level so it is easy to see while adjusting.

                              I have a small bungee between the ntwo holes in the metal rack. I usually just hook that to the key or whatever and let them sit on the frame above the coils...which is just a glance up rom the carbs.
