Carb Balancer kit

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
A good carb bench sync costs nowt.

Oddjob:
And it's also inaccurate Ted, it's ok as a starting point but getting them spot on using that method is just luck IMO.

That's what I have always done.  If all the carbs do the same thing, it's a starting point.  For some reason, I have the urge to see how "balanced" they really are.
I think the 2 single carb bikes are free of sin.
4 of the Suzuki triples might show something of interest.
4 of the 4 stroke twins are ideal for a look at...... except they all don't have take off points for carb balancing
the only in-line 4 is an ideal candidate.

I need to check how many of these bikes actually can be carb balanced.  The xs650 and cl450 dont have the necessary bits.  I thought they all did.

I bought one when I came out of the trade so I could keep doing foreigners but one gauge went out of sync with the rest, the damping is automatic and doesn't really work. I used them 2 times and threw them away in the end, needles bouncing all over the place etc, wasn't even worth keeping to use the 3 gauges left.


The Sealey kit looks like my present ones except mine are black and came from the states. They are as Bryan says a close copy to the genuine Honda gauges. Not as good but close.

I wish you had thrown them in my direction Ken, I could do with a spare (or two or even three) :)

AshimotoK0:
Guy near me restores 400F carb sets and makes a superb job (better than Gerben IMHO) but just does them on carbs he buys not for other people. He even fits them to his own bike to set them up before selling them. He uses a set of Davida gauges all the time (same as mine) and says he has never had a problem with them.
