drag

Got my hands on a set of carb balancers as i'm doing a rejet this weekend, so in anticipation i deceided to do a dry run this evening.

All the tubes were connected already i have a scottoiler attached so i used the T junction for the back carb and the 1st dial, and the front carbs nipple already had a closed off pipe which i joined to the 2nd dial.

I warmed up the bike and connected the gagues up started her and the needles fluttered away, and continued to do so, and still continued to do so, infact they were both pretty much in sync but the issue was i coudlnt get an exact reading at all, they were moving so much and so fast it was terribly hard to tell where they were resting / stopping.

I adjusted the carb dials so the needled didnt move as much however the needles were still jumping back and foth on both side way to much to dertermine if it was close to a good sync.

At the moment i know the bike is running well, and i assume if any thing they are only a little out of sync.

My question is how steady should those needles get ?


My second issue was getting the airbox back on, possibly the most fustrating thing ever, i could apply pressure on each end and they would sink, but the catches would simply not take hold, should i use some wd40 around the lip to help this ? or perhaps shoudl i remove the bottom attachments and simply attempt to bolt those on to the carbs with the air box attached ?

any idea's ?
