JC020 XL600V Carburettor sync

[@toshinaka1309]

It’s very smart way. Thanks for indicating of the 16214-MB0-000.

Happy if helped. In the mean time 2 updates were applied: 1. the straws were replaced by plastic pipe joiners (for durability) 2. the boost join (16214-MB0-000) got broken so I have drilled through a a half-threaded screw with a drill press. I don't know if all of them are such a crap or just I'm cursed but it wasn't forced at all and still have damaged.

This method is based of the U pipe gauge, which is waaaay more acurate than any vacum gauge. If water/coolant is used the difference of 0,1 bar is about 1 meter of fluid level, so pretty big graduation. This method is also quite cheap, only downside is that only usable for 2 carburators.

Actually I was happy with this tool. It worked like a charm for a while but after some time it had 2 issues (see @ JC034). But if U aware of them it is a perfect "instrument": cheap and accurate enough for the task.

I'm going to be using this method on my 1991 XL600V! Do you remember what kind of liquid you used in the tubes? Or will anything work? Thanks in advance!

Hello, As I mentioned I used used motor oil. Partly because it's dark in colour, so it's easy to see, and partly because if I'm not fast enough and the cylinder sucks some in, it's still fine. I recommend read the comment section, I always try to share important infos.

Thank you for the information, your Transalp videos are very helpful. I will be doing valve clearance and carb synch using your videos. Thanks!

@@martijn647 I'm happy to hear that making theses videos were not senseless. Good luck! Be careful, it can ruin your settings if your screwdriver heavy. However it can be hard to match the screwdriver to the screw still always lift it up to see the real sync before you finish!!!

Une vidéo tutoriel SANS le son n'a pas d'intérêt pour celui qui ne s'y connaît pas bien...

Thanx for your comment. Actually there are some things to consider: - its purpose is the technical info transfer not entertainment. The whole channel is about helping those few ones who are interested. I don't care if nobody subscribe. I'm totally fine if some just come, watch and go as far as it helps to anybody. - many cases Google has removed the music because of some mysterious copyright issue....which is hard to imagine in connection with a ~50 years old french music for example... - it is more work to me without any benefit ( Especially when it is removed at the end....) I'm 100% sure that people who watch my videos don't seek for fun but for idea/info etc. - you can anytime open a second tab and start the music you like Wish you a happy new year.
