My "HIGH TECH"

 

So I came home this afternoon and decided that BIG RED needed her Carbs tuned up. Coming back from Galena I noticed a slight vibration when accelerating around a Semi. Sure enough she needed a little adjustment. Thought I would post some pics of my HIGH TECH instrument. Read about it on a web site in 2007 and its worked like a charm ever since.

 

The tubing for each side is about 9'. There is a "bead inside the tube about 4" from the ends connected to the vacuum ports. I used 2 cycle oil inside the tubes.

 

Note that I went "FIRST CLASS" on the yardsticks. Aluminum versus Wood. BIG RED deserves nothing but the best. I did not post the before pics carbs on the right side of bike as I set on it were way out. They always seem to be the ones that need adjusted. Any who...Since 2 cycle oil has much less viscosity than mercury, I think the adjustment works well and it as served me well for 5 yrs now. Pic's are after adjustment. NOTE: I have never got them "PERFECT" the adjustment screws just are not finite enough using 2 cycle oil. When they are this close with 2 cycle oil, I get a very smooth motor at both idle and highway speeds.
