Carb adj.

[Reed]

I have been reading different post on carb adj. sinking of carbs, float adj. ect.

Now what I need to know is how to adj. the jets? How do you know if the adj. is right? with out some kind of air/fuel gauge it is imposable to know if all the jets are right threw all 3 ranges.

Your idle could be right & mid range ritch & high end right. witch in turn would be lower fuel milage. Or at high speed the first 2 could be right & high range could be ritch. in turn lower fuel milage & maybe lower power? I know about pulling the plugs & checking them but that is not real acc. in all ranges eather.

The best way I have found is to use a ColorTune. It is a spark plug with a clear window in the back so you can see the color of the explosion in the cylinder. You adjust the mixture until you get a nice yellow flame.

 

But first, you use the CarbTune to syncronize the 4 carbs.

 

Unfortunately, these are not cheap tools. Ask around and see if anyone in your area has one. If you can get to WI, I can help. Or, if you want to take an early year long ride, head to Freebird's maintenance day in Ohio. There will me several folks there that care willing and able to help.

I went to color tume sight. There is 2 vid, there showing how it works. It looks like something my tool box needs. It is a lot cheeper then the air/fuel guage system I was looking at. that was around 500 bucks. Thanks a Million!!!
