Here is a picture of my Morgan Carb Sync Tool in action and what a great tool it is!
After verifying compression, points and timing I set about checking the carb sync. I didn't get a "before" picture but here is the "after" result. The bike I'm tuning is my 4 cylinder Gold Wing and I'm having some problems with the idle circuit. I played with the idle mixture screws and set them 2 turns out (factory spec) before starting the sync. The manual calls for the carbs to be sync'd within 2 CM of each other and when I took this picture I thought I was right on. After looking at the picture on the computer I realized I wasn't as close as I thought even though it was withing spec. I went back out and got them within 1/2 cm of each other so that's close enough.
I'm still going to probably have to rebuild the carbs but I wanted to play with the new toys first. It was drizzling slightly so I have to wait until tomorrow to see how it runs.
