    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Bench Sync & Sync Tool

    Folks

    I'm looking for the procedure to bench sync my carbs after a thorough cleaning and all of the o-rings being changed. Please, can someone point me to it? Also, any recommendations on a sync tool once carbs are on the bike?

    If you used Nessism’s carb rebuilding procedure to clean the carbs then you’ll find that process in there. Basically you’ll adjust each carb so that a thin sliver of light is the same among all four.

    There are dozens of threads discussing the second question that you can read but the long and short of it is to get a carbtune and be done - http://www.carbtune.com

          if you are using some kind of homemade gauge to set the throttle-plate gap, It is recommended NOT to use a metal one. ie: Dragging a strand of steel wire, weld-tip cleaner or steel guitar string under the plates and aluminum body can deform it ..scratch or groove it. A bit anal perhaps but if you can find something plastic, or wood or paper, that might be best...

              Oh yes.. this is good stuff. Thanks

              Idle Air Screws should be at 1.5 turns out or 2.5 turns?
