Just had to reset my twin 40's does anyone in the Rotherham area have a carb balancer I could lend ???? to ensure correct air flow


a gas analyser would also be nice (pushing it a bit me thinks on that one)

Using a tube as a stethoscope works better on twin DCOEs than a carb balancer.

Trick is to hold the end of the tube at exactly the same relative position for each venturi.

I used a length of hose to balance my 4 bike carbs - when I eventually used the proper tool I found that I'd got pretty close with the hose-in-ear technique. Not exact, but not too shabby either.

Backfires make you jump though!

Do the carbs have vacuum take off's? if so I have a set of gauges for balancing bike carbs... S26 area very close to you.

car balancer - listen for an even beat in the exhaust and you have it right.

hav tried using bike carb balancer but dont have vacum take off these balancers caused the carbs to flood. Thanks all the samew. Looks like ear to the ground then
