Quote from: ac_nvmax2 scratch, what are the "carb synchronizing vacuum spigots? Are they capped?"?

Andy.
See the recent thread Carb synch.  The discussion is mostly about the "vacuum spigots" that scratch mentioned, although in the other thread they are referred to as "vacuum ports".

I can see that one of these days I'm gonna have to take some pictures!

The 'carb vacuum synchronizing spigots' are the little towers on top of the carbs, hopefully covered with a little tower shaped, rubber cap, about 1/2 an inch in heigth.

ah, Kerry, ya beat me to it... :)
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

... Srinath, you have the same problem I've got...

QuoteI have the left carb set to 2 turns on mix screw and right set to 5...any more an I am worried it will fall off...

I'd like to know if your new carbs work ...  

If I wanted to "experiment" (heaven forbid) on the right side only - would I change a pilot jet or main... (with a magic balancing act, of course.)

That just seems pretty freakin' wierd that one needs so much more than the other! But at least it's consistently mucked up!!


peace out y'all
