How do you do this and how important is it and can you do it yourself? Im sick of dumping money just for trouble shooting. Can someone give me the fine details of this? Thanks Shawn

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.

Mr. hartleygs,
Welcome to the forum. To get you started, here's one resource with a "home-made" remedy for carb syncing:

Here's a quick "how to" demonstrating the Morgan Carbtune:

Searching this forum came up with these results:

And searching with Google came up with these results:

Good carb adjustments are necessary for the overall health and performance of your motorcycle. Smooth acceleration, more power, better mileage, etc, are mostly dependent on the proper fuel/air mixture delivered to the cylinders. Don't forget to clean (dip) them, and replace all the rubber parts (O-rings, boots, etc).
I haven't worked on my carbs yet, but I'm sure I will be sometime in the future. There are lots of good folks here who have and will be willing to coach you. Check out this link too: http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm
Thank you for your indulgence,

You will find several suggestions in the links in the posts above.
Rather. It is very beneficial to the engine's smoothness and your comfort. Mostly done at or near idle speeds on the theory that they will stay close throughout the throttle's operating range, it assures that all cylinders are being fed the same amount of fuel mixture so they pull evenly. When the engine runs smoother, the whole bike is smoother, making you more comfortable.
Yes, quite simply. There will be a bit of investment in tools, but it will be less than the cost of having the shop do it. For subsequent tunings, you already have the tools, and the shop would have charged you again. :shock: Personally, I would not recommend some of the home-brew methods that have one gauge that you switch from cylinder to cylinder. It is much better to be able to see how all cylinders are doing all at once.

I had a neighbor with a vacuum stick help me do mine. It took longer to remove the tank and side panels that it took to balance the carbs. True story. Made a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the motor.
