You're right, I have to admit. My original thought was to not put anything in the booklet that the factory manual explained adequately. You have to remember, I was a diehard corporate Honda guy, and a 15-year dealer tech, so I drank the Honda Koolaid, and thought, well, you know what I thought. I have since learned. By the way, I do have a free tutorial on carb syncing on my website. Visit the link following.Got3now wrote:Success Finally!
It's alive and well. Another five hours work and finally idling correctly. It sounds so good and responsive, but I haven't rode it as it was wet,rainy and dark. So I am not totally out of the woods.
OK, so in the end I took off the carbs again,(third time this week), benched sync'ed them, and worked to get the plates as perfectly closed as possible (using a light). And adjusted them so the fast idle could close them all completely, yet when I turned the fast idle adjustment out all carbs would begin to show the first hole in sync.. Synced them as described in prior posts here. Started with 4 then 5,6, 3,2,1. Bottom line, I wanted to make sure the throttle plates could be completely closed and sync'ed which seemed to contribute to my problem. I know that may not be clear, but it was a pain..
I am not planning on doing any more adjustment with my vacuum gauges. I hope this is not a mistake?
Mike Nixon should add syncing the carbs or someone else should write a how to book as that is such a critical part of rebuilding the carbs so I have found..
Thank you all for your support.. Pictures to follow..!!!!
