Carb Balancing

[Darren Groves]

Apart from the old fashioned method of a length of tube and your ear, or the Gunson Carb Balancer are there and other methods/tools that people use for balancing their carbs?

What you need is a Crypton  B89 Syncro Check flow meter

i'v used a crypton one, as in Kevin's link, for years - the only thing i don't like is that it is quick restrictive to the intake..... i'm told that some find these a better bet:

Or go back to how the carbs were sent to the engine line , idle stops preset to a simple equal mechanical setting of the idle screw and jets down to prescribed pre setting

 

in general if the throttle plates are both set to the same position and theres no leaks from wear

the gauges should confirm /give you reasonably equal readings

 

Once youre off idle the balance is pretty immaterial

Hello Darren

                    I have one of these and find it very good as you can balance the carb,s at tick over and then check that the inter connecting links are set right by doing a

2000rpm ish check on the balance and adjust as needed.

I have had one of these for years   cheap and effective,   no plastic to age

 

but still stick to basics  as first principle

I have the same tool Pete has identified - bought it from Chic Doig on EBay. Very simple to use.
