Synchronized my carbs today.

[Steve S]

I finally got around to doing some maintenance on my ride today. My new Carb tune came in last week so I got brave and read Freebird's directions 3 times. After I got the engine good and warm I hooked the carb tune up and started hunting screws to turn. Do you folks realize how hard it is to turn my old head upside down to see the screws through my bifocals????   I finally got them all located and adjusted as best as I could.  Thankfully the gauge showed the carbs were well in tune with each other.  It is too hot in Western KY to suit up and go riding so Ill try to check it out tomorrow morning. 

Thanks Freebird for the very good information on synchronizing the carbs.

I paint the screw heads with yellow paint. Makes it easier to see.
