My suggestion would be to purchace a set of carb sync gauges, perhaps from here
www.z1enterprises.com
And do it yourself, as you're going to pay prolly that if not more to have it done. This way, you save some money, not just now, but forever. Just a thought tho...

Carbtune
I would suggest you buy a Carbtune set-up. It will pay for itself after you've use it once or twice and it will last forever if you're careful. It's easy to use, kind of fun and will give you a great deal of satisfaction over and over.
I liked my Carbtune so much that I went out and bought another bike I could use it on!\\/1980 GS1100E....Number 15!

Greetings All,
I have been thinking about getting a manometer for doing carbs. Is the one that Z1 offers for $50.00 and the carbtune set up mentioned here the same? If not who offers the carbtune, which one is easier to use and what adapters are needed(Z1 offers 3 sets).
Thanks,

If, by chance, adapters are not included, you will need the 5 mm adapters for your bike.Last edited by Steve; 01-23-2008, 02:50 PM.sigpic

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the extra $$ is well worth the amount. I'll have to pick one up in the near future and will post the results. Thanks again.

Cartune supply a set of 5mm and 6mm adaptors. The adaptors are easy to install. For the inboard carbs, you just slide a piece of plastic hose about 4'' long over the adaptor end to extend it and avoid burning you fingers. It works well. They can then be lightly tightened by using a long bladed screw driver.
Their storage kit is worth investing in too. It's a neat practical package. I have used my Carbtune on three occasions now.
Incidentally, I recommend Keith's suggested rpm setting of 4000rpm for balancing as opposed to the Clymer 1500-1800rpm. I found quite a difference in vacuum levels when checking one rpm level against the other.
As Keith says, you use the engine in the higher range more often than the lower one so it makes sense to have the balance right in that area.
The only drawback to the higher rpm balance is you produce more heat, so make sure that you have an adequate supply of fanned air available.:) The road to hell is paved with good intentions......................................

Its very easy on the '79 VM carbs, just takes time to set everything up. You'll need to either use an external fuel tank or get extra hose and put your gas tank on your work bench or some other place above the carbs. Make sure that you plug your vacuum line or you'll really get messed up! Get the right wrench and screw driver to make your adjustments with and don't overtighten the lock-nut. Also use the right screwdriver when taking off the covers to get at the adjusters.
Fans are necessary to keep your engine cool while doing the job. I use three, but two is probably enough.

Also, make sure your valves are adjusted correctly, and you don't have vacuum leaks before doing the job.
