I just used the standard tank with an extension fuel tube standing on a nearby box.

As Oddjob says balancing the carbs is the very last job after you've set up the ignition and the valve clearances.

As I know how clumsy I can be a seperate purpose fuel supply is probably a wise choice  ;D

I don't want to knock this tank onto the floor.

After trying in B&Q and other shops for the bits necessary and been underwhelmed by the cost I have ordered a Morgan Pro carbtune for £71 including pouch, packing and postage

I've got a Davida set and they are very good imho. Small amount of bounce but nothing major at all.

Thought I should post that the carb synchronisation was successful  ;D  It turned out to be a fairly easy process with the appropriate kit.  Of course I lost two of the washers when I first undid the vacuum blanking screws and now have to file a 4mm washer out to 5mm so I get a good seal, but that's about par for me  :D

Those washers are soft aluminium to seal not steel

Hi Bryan,

I used some soft copper ones (after annealing) so should be OK.

Cheers  Geoff
