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.

high idle after carb synch?

Ok Michael, in the interest of making life easier for you. Instead of setting your synch to 10 in Hg, you may use 33.865kPa

We could use PSI or mm Hg or Pascals or Torr if you like.

YOU GUYS are what needs synchronizing!

Are you saying Earl is unbalanced? Because I think you may be on to something there. Keep it down-low though. If he finds out he'll throttle us well. Where's Ron!!? I'm getting choked with laughter! 8O 8O :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I forgot a couple: atm ~= 15 psi and bar ~= 0.69 PSI

I'm leaning towards kicking you both in the butt. :lol:
Jetting over there would cost too much though.
I can see what too much exposure to mercury can do to some folks.
 
You could be your own pilot when you venturi over here. It's cheaper that way. But if you came over here I'd bowl you right over. I'd fill my idle time with tachy puns between Keith whippings.
 
Hmmmm, that would leave you with both feet in the air. Difficult to go anywhere in that position. Wifey just baked a fresh platter of pascals, I'll send you some.

Earl :-)

Hi :lol:

When you sync the carbs You first sync 1&2 with the screw between them,
then 3&4 with the screw between them.
Then you sync the left pair & right pair with the screw between them.
Then you set the idle with the idle screw.(adjuster)

This is how learned to do it many year ago.

#3 doesn't have a adjust screw... what to do?
 
I have a suspi cion that you're kidding but in case not, the big idle adjustment screw is the adjuster for #3. It will affect all the others though, so you should start there.

The big idle screw is turned all the way out to the point it is not touching the carb anymore.
 
Turn the vacuum up on 1,2 and 4 to match 3. That will give you a richer mixture and you will then need to turn in the idle adjust to maintain idle.
You're too lean on 1,2 and 4. :-)

Yes. That's the way to do it. If you still have problems, you'll have to do a manual synch per your manual and start over.
 
Robinjo, increasing the vacuum on 1,2 and 4 closes the throttle plates and is going to cause those carbs to flow a richer mixture. RPM will decrease most likely to the point of the engine dieing, so you will need to turn in the idle adjustment screw to maintain a normal idle rpm.

I second that. Your bike is idling too high even without the idle screw making contact, simply because of the excessive vacuum on #3.
This happens when people try to raise lower levels to match higher levels at the beginning of the synch. Before you know it, you're completely off the idle adjuster screw. You should always lower the higher levels to match the lower ones, then fine tune.
