After reading /studying the many posts on tuning / balancing carbs, I have the chance to borrow one of the 'snail' type carb air flow gizmo's, the type that has a conical end that can be pushed into the 'trumpet' /inlet when motor is running and then the scale on the meter can be read at a glance. (I have seen these being used on webber 40's sidedrafts etc on cars)
So ... just wondered if anyone has tried this method of balancing on the sv ?
I can't see why it wouldn't be as effective as a manometer or traditional gauges.
It would certainly be a whole lot quicker and easier to do it this way that's for sure.
Anyone have any views / first hand experience or pro's 'n' cons' of doing it this way?
