taro · 08-31-2008

Like an idiot, i bought two cheapie vacuum gauges to try to sync my carbs on my parallel twin bike. Unfortunately, the needles moved so fast back and forth that I ended up just guessing as to balancing the carbs based on the approximate ranges of the swinging of the needles (they were a blur). I am going to a track day in about three weeks and wanted to take another stab at it. Is there some kind of restrictor that would prevent the needle from bouncing around so much around the dial or should I just spring for a carbtune? Thanks.
