L0WMK2 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 anyone know where to get the unit that you sit against ya carbs to balance and tune the airflow going into them? basically its a pipe with a flap on the inside and a gauge on the side and the flap moves the gauge needle with how much airflow is going in?

mikuni Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 They are cheap as and theres a carburetor shop here that sells them. Only about $20 I think. Try ringing afew carb specilists, if they don't sell them they should have an idea who would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pies Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 will look when i get to work. yes. repco. most repco staff are morons and dont know half the shit they can order. or just cant be bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The digital ones can be expensive, but the dirty old manual ones or whatever you call them are pretty simple. I may be mistake though. It just goes over the intake and measure the flow of the carbs at idle and you adjust them untill they are equal right? Is that the tool you are talking about or am I thinking of something else? Anyway, I'll do my best to get in there sometime and have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
