Carb sync RPM

[opasnost]

Hi guys,

I've been reading around and seem to find different answers. I want to know what RPM should I do a carb sync at. I am reading some people say at idle others 1800 RPM or so. could you guys shed some light

Do it at the lowest RPM the bike will happily idle at...

I initially tried at about 1500 RPM with my Morgan Carbtune but the sticks just stayed too low on the gauge to get a good idea of how it was going.

I dropped the idle to about 900 and they moved a lot higher up in the Carbtune, allowing a much easier sync job.

Idling un-synched at 1,000 can be too rough for the Carbtune, so I dial the idle up to about 2,000 RPM. Also, at the lower RPMs, you may not have enough room to adjust the slides because closing a slide to raise the vacuum may end up starving that cylinder.

Essentially, the lowest steady idle is best, but be ready to adjust the idle up as you synch.

I should've prefaced my comment by saying "for CV carbs..."

I have been working on these Suzukis since 1977 & find that between 2000-2500 seems to make them run the best & smoothest in the rpm ranges you normally ride in. Ray.
