Carb balancers and air boxes

Good idea grinch, weird thing is i just lashed on the gagues there a few mins ago, she was a little out, all fixed now, and the air box popped back on relatively easy.

odd how things go i guess

The last time I did it, I balanced the carbs with the airbox off so I could easily get to the adjuster screw and then tested it again with the airbox back on.

Sometimes you get lucky, most times its a bit of trouble.

The fluttering has two possible causes - you have crap gauges (if they have restrictor clamps in line with the hoses then this is probably the case, like these):

or it's runnning lean. If it' is running lean, you need to upjet of course but if you take the appendix thing off the left side of the airbox and plug all the holes, you can get to the balance adjuster while the airbox is attached.

great for having in the workshop. but who wants to cart an 8 foot board around with them.. suppose you could cut it into sections and hinge it. but its not very bling

carbtune every time for me...

Might splash the cash and buy a carbtune in a while, new tyre soon tho, as new front end is going on nxt week

dont think oil is good.. it tends to stick to the tube and you cant get a reading correctly, its also to slow..

water with dye in it..
