Ive picked up a new project and need to get it running right. Its on twin su-hs8 carbs, anyone got a balancing tool they know longer want?

Can't help with the balancer but is the aristocat the new project? If so is it the one that was on eBay last week?

You can get them off ebay for less than £40
A good investment if you run multi carbs
I got my 4x bike carbs set 99% by using some mig wire as a feeler underneath the butterflys
Set them both to just touch ( balanced) then start and adjust equaly to set idle

Yeah if no one has anything ill pick up a Gunson one from the bay.

Theduck - no i got this back in july. Bit of a barn find, good spec but untidy non runner for a few years so needs tlc. 4.2 but with a manual box so should be good.

Sounds good! Good luck with the build

I've always used a variation of this idea on my carbs;
