Running sync: screw in or out, that is the question

    Set all 4 mixture screws at 2.5 turns out for initial setting

    then start your bike and get it running and warmed up.

    when it’s adjust to a reasonable idle speed with the enricher off, shut it down and hook up your gauges to do the running sync.

    Then check mixture colors/temps and adjust mixture screws as needed.

    Re-check sync if you wish....

    sync, colortune, sync...... there you go:)

    do you still have VooDoo?? I thought you sold it awhile back..... I must have things mixed up a bit—-

    Thanks Hogfiddles Yup... still have VooDoo...she's the one givin' me fits with the carbs. I may have to pull them and run them through the ultrasonic cleaner. She'll fire up one time, then the next day she'll just thumb her nose at me and not fire up.... grrrr. Gonna get new plugs and see if that helps. I know this should be fairly easy to do, but I swear I could look at a smoothly idling bike, pick up a screw driver and THINK carb adjustment and the bike would start sputtering.... :p

    p.s. I don't have a colortune plug, is there one you recommend?

    p.p.s. What cleaning solution do you guys use in your ultrasonic cleaner??

    Recommendations—

    Colortune - get the Gunson 14mm Colortune plug

    Ultrasonic - I don’t use one... I do each piece by hand

    You can get adaptors from Gunson to use the other size colortunes in a machine that has a 14mm plug.
