cleaning and synchronize of carbs

[shredex]

Use .045 mig welding tips in the intake manifolds (aka carb boots). Acts as the needed restrictor and fits the hose without zip ties and doesn't need drilling.

u lost me at the carb boot.....

carb boots are the black things in-between the carbs and the motor.
better yet, let me go tear my bike open real quick and Ill take pictures and point out what and where things go...brb

Red indicates where the carb boot screws are which you need to replace with the 0.6mm or 0.45mm mig welding tips.
Green indicates where the sync screws are located.

Here is what the welding tips look like.
Again, you can use either 0.6mm or 0.45mm like Sweek said.

And heres a picture of shredy's ol' sync tool

so.. i assume im suppose to replace all four of the "red" with the welder tips. they have the same threads? then am i able to just leave them in there or do i put the actual part back in there? and i see that the tank is out. i hope there'll be enough fuel in the line and carbs for me slow ass to get the job done... thanks shredd, all this is urberly helpful!

No, if you leave the mig tips in, you will have a pretty serious air leak. Gotta put the factory screws back in.

Hang a lawnmower tank above the bike and let it gravity feed the carbs.

Ohh, and the welding tips need to be for a Miller welding gun.

I just set this stool I have next to my bike and the tank just kinda sits on it.
It just makes it kinda a pain when I need to adjust the screw on the side that the tanks on.
Ill get a picture of that so you can see what I'm talking about.

before you sync, you replace all the screws (circled red) with the mig welding tips.
But as you notice you will only be using one at a time...so...you just have to block off the little hole on the two your hoses arnt connected to.
You can use the little rubber caps that come on bleeder screws to block the holes, or if you dont have any of those you can just use some tape.
I use electrical tape and it seals fine.
just remember to put the original screws back in once done syncing.



here is how I do it. its a little more secure though when I have more space I was just trying to give you and idea of what you can do.
maybe secure it better by tying some fishing line from it to the ceiling.
