      There is like 5 pages of this "sync #-# first then do.... " joke on another thread...

      1-2, 3-4, either pod of each set for final sync... doesn't matter the order long as you sync the pairs seperately first, then sync each pair together last.

          What did you use for an auxiliary fuel tank?

            Check the local auto parts places, they usually have some small plastic tank of some kind that you can hang up.

              I just used the fuel tank with a length of hose attached and left the tank on prime.

                I found ATF, at least the brand I ran, to take too long to settle down again in the tubes the first time I made one of these. The second time, I used 2 cycle oil and it settled much faster.

                The buddy system works really well if your carbs are really out of whack. Have one guy ready on the hoses with needle nose pliers (in case the imbalance is extreme and the fluid wants to head to your engine) and the other guy start/maintain rpm on the bike/adjust as necessary.

                I've used a yogurt container for an alternative fuel tank. Easy to top up, easy to tap/seal. With a little bit of epoxy around the fuel barbs, it was leak-proof and ready to go.

                  I made my own manometer... Tell me what you think... Still needs ATF, you can't really see the hoses, my cell phone camera sucks.

                        It isn't difficult... just time consuming. You have to remove all the plastics and gas tank to do the maintenance. ya may as well adjust the valves while everything is pulled apart.

                        I removed the rubber caps and replaced them with length of rubber hose so I didn't have to remove the carbs each time I wanted to sync the carbs.

                        Next spring I plan to adjust the a/f screws as recommended by others on this forum and re-sync the carbs.

                          Hey guys.
                          I want to build this tool and sync carbs:


                          Bike is 1990 gsx600f.

                          Carb #3 is reference carb.

                          Can i sync carbs in this way:
                          first #1 and #3
                          then #2 and #3
                          and finally #4 and #3

                              Sync 1-2, 3-4 then either 1-4, or 2-3.
                              Get over yourself. For me to think you are an idiot, I would first need to think of you.

                                Carb #3 is not a reference carb either.
                                You sync carb #1 to carb #2 by adjusting the screw between the two. You than sync carb #3 to carb #4 by adjusting the screw between the two. Then sync set 1 & 2 to set 3 & 4 using the center screw. Make sense?
