Is there anyone within a couple of hundred miles of Houston that would consider helping me adjust my carburetors?

Thanks,
Jerry

you need a carb sync tool somebody in texas has one they were loaning around so you might go to the texas board and ask

What all are you adjusting? If you follow the shop manual it should run just fine unless you have something else wrong that needs repaired. Need more info.

If your turning the pilots they should be 1.75 to 2.25 turns depending on you bike's setup. That's it! If your turning the synchronization screws it'll mess it up. You need a manometer or guage system to sync carbs correctly.

I am working on fixing a 6 gauge vacuum setup. I now know what I had was not calibrated correctly and hopefully when my parts come in, I can correct them and do a proper job. Thanks everyone for the reply's.
