    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.

I'm trying to do a carb sync on my 82 650 and have to say I'm a little confused about what I'm doing. Is there a number ranger on the scale that I should be aiming for? Or am I just trying to get them all even?

The problems I keep having are
  • Little to no reading on the carbtune
  • Only getting readings from cylinder 3 & 4
  • Stalling the engine

Also can anyone recommend a better tool than this thing?

The throttle & choke cable guide that's mounted to the top of carb 3 blocks me from getting to the adjustment screw. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
 
Remove the choke cable guide for the job and then replace when you are done. That is the tool you want and the best one for the job.

Basscliff has procedures for using the Carbtune here - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/cbsaunders/gs/carb-balance.pdf

Get them even; if you aren't getting any reaction then turn it upside down and work from that location watching for movement. I would recommend making sure everything is properly cleaned within the carbs first (you did dip them didn't you?) and be sure to do a good bench sync before starting the bike up. Also be sure you are able to run the bike off the choke when you do it

Hopefully you also adjusted the valves before trying a carb sync? :-k

If you are doing both jobs, valves should be done first.

There is no "magic number" to shoot for, you are looking to get them all the same.

As cowboyup mentioned, remove the linkage from carb #3, you will have easy access to the center sync adjuster. Start with that one, set the vacuum on #2 to match #3. Next, move to the left, set #1 to match #2 and #3. Note that they might not stay where they were and you will have to tweak them again. Finally, adjust #4 to match the others.

Thanks for the tips guys! I worked on it yesterday and the carbs are all synced up now. And yes the carbs were dipped, re-ringed, yadda, yadda as well as the valves.
