Hey all, i recently cleaned the carbs on my bike ( was startting to run choppy after 1/2 throttle) Now i finally got it back together, all the cables hooked up etc. First of all the right two carbs butterfly valves open much before the left side carbs. The left two carbs dont open up until about 1/4 throttle, im guessing this is my main problem. Im also guessing that this has to do with the syncing of the carbs. Would there be any way to do it without the carb sync tool, just to get the bike to run and drive? or do i 100% need that tool?

Any other advices or tips is greatly apprecited, thanks guys!!!

Did you check the pilot adjustment screws? They are known to move in and out.

Synching the carbs is pretty easy without the tool. However, I believe you are supposed to check valve clearances / adjust the valves first.

Once that is done, I think there is a write-up in the Wiki about synching the carbs.
