    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So, I was able to aquire some Flow meters off a piece of equipment from work thinking that I will be able to use them to balance my carbs (free is much better that 95 bucks for a carbtune). My question is this... Can I use flow? I have a bone stock 82 650L. I know that a manometer measures vaccum pressure, and a flow meter will measure how air is going through the engine. I don't care about absolute readings cuz I'm just trying to make them equal, right? Any info here will be appreiciated. Thanks
 
Somebody makes a meter like the one you re talking about which is used to set up carbs. Cant think of who. You can do that.
 
Thanks for the responses. Pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to confirm. Sometimes me being cheap gets in the way of really doing whats best for my projects. :)
 
Won't you need to sync. the flow meters to each other somehow, before syncing the carbs?
 
Syncing on the engine vacuum betwen the carbs and head is better because you are adjusting the throttle plates and that is reflected in the vacuum you see.
