Carb ballancer

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.
