carb balancing

Post by rocket robbo »

Want to balance my carbs on me 89r,need to find some where to buy some inserts to screw into my inlet stubs so i can attach my vac gauge...want to leave them in so its not a hassle everytime,where can i find some?? ,ive tried locally but all i can get in the ones with the plastic lock jobbies that you push the tube into..needing to push the tube over and when finished push over a rubber cover....

thanks :D

Morgan carbtune used to do the kits. The brass adapters can be got off eBay reasonably cheaply though

I have heard somebody on here used these. I seem to remember them saying you had to use a seal at the end where it meets up to the carb inlet and also loctite them in.

TRY THESE ROBBO

Click on the size you want (6mm) on the drop down box.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

The size I had for a Honda were too small for my Yams so I made my own ones from some ally Allen bolts & just drilled out the centre. Worked perfectly until I bout the Morgan Carbtune kit
