Carb balancing
Has anyone had any trouble with balancing carbs with vacuum gauges? I tried recently and they do not seem to respond at all... Do most here just bench tune them? Also, any tips/hints when removing your baffles to clean them?

After doing a bench setup, and setting the timing, I use a Uni-Syn to finalise the balancing. Easy to use and tough to breakpennell wrote:Has anyone had any trouble with balancing carbs with vacuum gauges? I tried recently and they do not seem to respond at all... Do most here just bench tune them?
I prefer to have the pipes hot, so after the engine has warmed them up bit - they just seem to be easier to pull out. And sometimes a slide hammer is a big help !pennell wrote:Also, any tips/hints when removing your baffles to clean them?

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !
