ok there are plenty of home made carb balancing gauges out there including using water bottles , but I've gone the more conventional route using gauges .
Now you can buy a set of four of these gauges of eBay for £19.99 !
Allso you get the adapters to screw on to the gauge so you can fit rubber hosing to them as you can see in the top left of the pic ,Now I bought my length of rubber pipe from my local motorist day centre for £4 for two metres , and that's all you need to make them up !
Now all you need to do is attach them to a peace of ply wood or any stiff surface that will hold them together , put as many or as few as you need together (in my case 3 ) to match your bike and your ready to go .
This is a pic of them set up and on the bike !
Now some of you are going to curse me and say they don't work ! Why you ask ? It is because when you start the bike up the gauges will bounce around all over the place making it impossible to read them .
But what you have to do is set the revs of the bike up around 3000 to 4000 rpm and the gauges will sit flicking between 5 and 10 on the gauges making an ark ! So all you have to do is see if they all ark in the same place on the dial if not adjust as needed .
And don't forget to block the carb breather pipes !!!
