Carburettor balancing , info for everyone

#1 Post by simonhorton »

Hi All,
I tried this set up on my engine

I did not get any readings as I believe there is not enough vacuum

Worth a try though

Simon

Balances my Yammy Fazer's 4 Mikuni carbs a treat, and I've wondered if it would work on an SU but didn't bother trying as I've only got one vacuum take off, so you've answered my idle thought on that one!
Current fleet: '75 Sprint, '73 1850, Daihatsu Fourtrak, Honda CG125, Yamaha Fazer 600, Shetland 570 (yes it's a boat!)

Past fleet: Triumph 2000, Lancia Beta Coupe, BL Mini Clubman, Austin Metro, Vauxhall Cavalier MK1 & MK2, Renault 18 D, Rover 216 GSI, Honda Accord (most expensive car purchase, hated, made out of magnetic metal as only car I've ever been crashed into...4 times), BMW 318, Golf GTi MK3 16v x 3
