Yeah, I know how to sync the carbs..not a problem.. I am wondering if there is a procedure for adjusting the carbs prior to syncing. setting pms that sort of thing.. All reading seems to say 2 1/2 turns out is to much for what I have done...im sure there is a procedure for setting the pms but is there also a sequence for the carb pac???

Hey folks, I bet there is a thread for this that I have not found yet. Let me start by stating my ride is '06 RSTD. I started out to get some better sound and a little more power. I gutted my stockers and got a terrible popping. bypassed the AIS and this helped some. Then I took the carbs off to get at pms. I backed those out to 31/2 turns. This also helped more but not enough. Reading here and on the other RSV/RSTD sites it appeared that syncing was the problem, again no good. I REBUILT the carbs went up one size on all the jets.. pilots from 15 to 17.5 and since the carbs have different the mains for #1 &2 were 122.5 to 125 #3 117 to 120 #4 120 to 122.5...maybe vice versa on these two. Adjusted floats I started pilot screws to 2.5 turns and installed a set of LA Choppers bag slash. carbs definitely need to be synced. I have a carbtune on the way from U.K. any day now. The bike sounds good accept for odd bump in idle which I attribute to carb balance. much more power and throttle response. good sound.. WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS??? THE CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTING THIS CARB PAC BEFORE I TRY TO SET THE IDLE AND SYNC. If someone can answer I would most appreciate!!

I know this is an old thread but I would like to know what driver or tool everyone uses to reach the pilot screws and the linkage screws for the syncing???
