Default Carb Balancing

Hello.

Not an SV to start off with but an in-line 4 Honda.

I need to balance the carbs and the fuel line might not be long enough for me to use the tank.

I have some fuel hose but what should I use to hold a bit of fuel in whilst I balance it?

Do I need to look out for anything like too much fuel going through due to no vacuum operated tap?

Cheers in advance
Rob

Default Re: Carb Balancing

The fuel flow should be fine as the carbs have float valves to prevent overfilling. I would just use a longer bit of hose and keep teh tank and vacuum tap in the setup.
