2 gauge carb syncronization

[djh3]

I stumbled across a couple of vacum gauges I had in the drawer. If I was to use these to sync up the carbs do I do the left 2 carbs together, then the right 2 and then connect the gauges to say the front left and front right and match them up. That is what I get from the sync article I read here, if I break it down right.

It can be done that way. You will probably need to double check a couple of times. Also it might be a good idea to test both gages on a single vacuum port to make sure they read the same. You may have to fabricate a restriction to put in the vacuum lines to reduce bounce. try it and let us know how it works out.

Should work as Mike says. You'll just have to play with hoses back and forth to get it all done.

Yea I thought the best was to hook both gauges to same cyl to make sure they both read the same. I have some restrictors in the lines but the needle still bounced to much for my liking. So I took a piece of 3/4" pvc about 10" long and a couple of end caps and some thread in barbs. Used the PVC as a buffer chamber sort of thing. Took bounce right out. One gauge reads 10lb and the other reads 9 on same cyl. So I checked each cyl with one gauge all the way across and best I could tell they all read pretty close to same. So looks like its good for now.

give me a call, I will be happy to put my Morgan Carbtune on it for you, should only take about 15 minutes.

Thanks for the offer.
