Carb balancing

[silly_simon]

Right then guys and girls its my turn to ask for a little help :o

I have a Morgan Carbtune and have in the past used it on my 600's But I want to do the 1000 and looking at the carbs the intake stubs look a little different :-/

Is there anyone here who could give me a hand one weekend to do em please ??

There is some Fosters larger here waiting for a volunteer ;) ;)

i'm happy to volunteer to drink your fosters, but havent guage balanced carbs before, so can't provide the help your after ;)

Do you mean take offs? Does it need adapters?

Don't mind having a look, but never balanced on a guage either. Have always checked the throttle lift. How off is the bike running??

on early yam's like fzr1000 you had to remove the small screw( m5 thread i think) they arnt in the inlet rubbers, i think they were part of the port in the cylinder head.....
long time since i did an FZR tho.....
yours might be the same.

hi simon i have some adaptors that you can screw into the take offs , but they came with my carbtune if that is any help ?

[silly_simon]

Sorry guys the word intake stubs seems to have confused the issue here :o

the carb inlet rubbers have take off points that dont require adapters as far as I know, well the 600 never did :) All you do is pull the rubber caps off and attach the carb tune, Thats the easy bit :D the carb adjusting screws are a little more difficult to get to than the 6 so therefore wanted some assistance with the actual adjusting :) :)

Thanks colin I'll pm you

Right did this yesterday and had to redo it again today after taking it for a run first to warm it up thoroughly >:(

I am pretty sure it is right now with all the rods in the carbtune all measuring the same :) :)

took it for another more gentle ride and it was A-OK 8-)
