96 RSTC Carb sync help

[ToyOdie]

I've read all the threads that I could find for help. None seem to solve my problem. Rather than repeat it here, I've provided a link to the Poor Man's Tips and Fixes thread where I've detailed the problem. Thanks for any help you can give.

This is the set up on my 96 Royal Star, I imagine it is the same on your bike. If the attachment doesn't open let me know and I will e-mail it to you directly.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I figured that the other two screws were the ones I needed to adjust. I was going to go through trial and error to figure it out. Now I need to figure out why the 1&2 adjustment is bottomed out. May need to clean the carbs to get them to sync.

Thanks again.

Is it bottomed out or could it be seized from corrosion? You could spray it with some penetrating oil and see if it loosens up. You will know when you hook up your vacuum tubes if it is adjusted properly, maybe whoever did it previously has turned it in too far.

 

Good luck

The 1&2 adjustment is not seized, I can turn it counter clockwise. If I look at it from the left side (by the choke) I can see that the outer spring is completely compressed. My sync tool is showing me that number 2 has more vaccuum than number 1. No matter how much I back off the adjustment, nothing changes. I think it's time to clean carbs and sort this out.
