So, we're doing a carb sync on the GF's bike and I notice that on carb #1 and #2, there is no cap over the little vacuum ports - instead, there are small pieces of rubber tubing (about 3 inches long) that stick out, and they're plugged with large plastic screws...
(Of course, carb #3 has a little cap on it, and carb #4 has the vacuum hose to the tank.)
I obviously need to take the little hoses off of #1 and #2 in order to sync them (extra length in hose = different readings when comparing to other carbs), but my question is:
Should I take off the little hoses on #1 and #2 and put back the standard caps? Or can I just leave the 3" capped hoses? Will the hoses somehow cause carb #1 and #2 to behave differently when all put back together? Her bike already had weird idle problems, which is why we're syncing in the 1st place.
I suspect the dealer we last went to put them there to ease the next carb syncing (since the caps on #1 and #2 are kinda hard to get to), but we don't go there anymore.
Anyways, thanks!
