dosomethinggreat Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 This guy made his own carberator synchronization ( carb sync ) gauge. Basically, it is a very large U tube. Looks easy and cheap to me, I might even have all the materials I need laying around. http://www.powerchutes.com/manometer.asp Check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmastree Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yeah, I made something similar when I did my XS400. Filled it with fork oil. One thing to watch out for, if the carbs are far out, the oil can get sucked into one cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrencher Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I sync mine using that method. I used ATF in the lines, it made it really stand out. IT took 5 minutes and $7.00 to amke but definately made a huge difference in performance. NOTE**** BE careful my setting were way off and I almost sucked the ATF into the engine. Be ready to pull them off quickly. Once you get the setting closer to perfect it will allow you to adjust on the fly until you get the setting right.

Prototrooper Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The 2 end hoses attach to the carb boot inlets? Then how does the vacuum get to the petcock? <<XS400SG w/ Mikuni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 To keep the fuel going while balancing the carbs turn the fuel tap to the prime positon .Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted February 13, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2009 your supposed to take the fuel tank off (have to, to get to the intake) use a small container with a tube to the carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I built one as well, used ATF fluid (which btw won't do nothing to your engine if it gets sucked in there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
