I've posted this many times, and you can find it by doing a search: -
"You can balance carbs using a bit of hose (windscreen washer hose will do nicely) and a good ear. For this process we'll call carb 1 the
one nearest to the front of the car, carb 4 nearest the bulkhead, You may need to adjust the tickover whilst you're working between the carbs -
this is normal: -
1, Remove the air filter/air box so that the carb bellmouths are all accessible.
2, Start the engine and get it up to temperature.
3, Starting at the carb 1, take the end of your hose and place it near the opening of the slide, a few mm away from the slide so as not to impede the
air flow.
4, Take the other end of your hose and place it near to your ear and listen to the sound - you'll hear a steady pulsing sound.
5, Move the end of the hose to carb 2 and place it in the same position and listen again.
6, Adjust the balance of these two carbs if required until the sounds are as similar as you can get. Once you've adjusted one carb, blip the
throttle a few times to make sure that the adjusters are seated properly and check again. You can take the hose from your ear when you blip the
throttle as it may smart a bit if you don't!
7, Move along to the carb 3 and adjust this until it sounds the same as the other two. Blip the throttle again a few times. ***NOTE*** Do not adjust
the first carb adjuster as this will upset the balance of carbs 1 & 2.
8, Move to carb 4 and do the same again. Do not adjust between carbs 1 & 2 and 2 & 3.
Job done! If it's good enough for Pops Yoshimura it's good enough for me! "
Spin 'er off Well...

If you don't have the skill of the honorable Yoshimura, then you could consider one of these.

Quite expensive, but the best you can get.

Well after much deliberation and messing with a piece of pipe ive bought the carb tune pro, just waiting for it to turn up. So probably another daft
question to ask; i have a screw under each carb except the last one nearest the bulk head which has a thin metal pipe sticking out which looks like a
vacuum hose coming off it which goes around the otherside of the engine to something next to the oil pump area,hav'nt got a clue what it is or
does, my question is do i just pull vac pipe off and fit carb tune pipe to it and fit adaptors and pipes to the holes where the screw's were
and get on balancing it, or is there a bit more to it, its a 5jj,, exup as been removed, if any one as any pics of this connected on this model would
be much appreciated,
bob
