Balancing Carburettors with home made manometer

Balancing/Syncing the carbs on my '90 suzuki across gsx250f.

A run down on what the manometer is made from and how it works, plus a rather length demonstration on it working.

As you can tell its ultra sensitive. the adjustments were all less than 1/32nd of a turn.

Excuse my terrible commentating. Thats impromptu video'ing for you :D

Hey guys, this is a great idea but just go buy a set of "Carbtune" syncs... I did and they are not expensive. I know know this bike but normaly the carbs SUCK the fluid up according to the vacum. I would not want to suck up any fluid into my Hayabusa carbs. Just my little .02.. did enjoy the video though! You are right I have not met a bad person from down under yet... props to Australia!

@buddha65281 Hey thanks for the comment!

Yeah totally buying the right tool is the way to go, but hey, jobless and penniless for now so desperate times as they say :P

Two quick things tho (had a huge reply but youtube ate it lol) this is mainly intended for 250s and cheap clapped out bikes we have to stay on in aus under LAMS laws plus with this method you can't suck up fluid, cause the total volume of fluid even in one bottle still doesnt reach the tube to the carb if you get what i mean!

wow your battery sits on top of the engine

@sackcheck Yep! Its a suzuki across which is pretty popular around here. The fuel tank is under the seat / over the rear wheel and where the tank normally goes is actually a storage compartment So the batteries plonked up on top there. Have a look on google (suzuki across / gsx250f) Its pretty cool :)

So in which order do you sync. them? Both outside then both inside? Or is there a manufacturer recommendation for each bike?
