Hey, I have to (let) restore a Honda CB600 PC34 Carb... mainly, the rest can I do. But it is totally weak at around 1400 to 1800 rpm, the sound there is not clean onto that, did mean a mechanic. Do you think, such can be a calibration thing? The pre-owner said it was cleaned a while ago, but she was lying about some problems. And I know... internal are as well calibration possibilities, but this should be expensive here...
@dsolo32505 жыл бұрын
One thing i learned. Before you connect all four gauges to different carbs you should connect all gauges to one carb to make sure they are reading the same vacuume. they can be off and you'll have to compensate on your adjuster.

well said. no good trying to sync your carbs with gauges that are not calibrated. maybe thats why the mercury tubes read differnt. thats why number 4 was out on both sets. those knurled nuts he was turning on the gauges are dampers to dampen the deflection of the pointers. maybe it would have been better if he put the carbs out of sync then brought them back into sync and done proper demo.
@sferg95826 ай бұрын
Exactly. I have a four-into-one manifold that I attach a vacuum source to and can calibrate all four at the same time. This is only for the dial gauges.

I know you posted this a while ago, but I hope you see this message anyways. Recently I bought my first street bike. I've only ever had dirt bikes before now, so I've never been familiar with anything but one cylinder. I noticed very bad gas mileage after riding my bike around for a couple of weeks. I took off the carb rack, cleaned everything out, and adjusted the throttle plates. I had no idea what syncing the carbs were until now, after I've already put everything back together. It's such a relief that I did something right, granted without the perfect tools, and adjusted something for the better. Now in hindsight, because I actually know what syncing is, thanks to you, I'm so glad that I adjusted those plates, because they were MILES off a proper setting. Thanks you again so much.

They are JIS screws, Japanese Industrial Standard which is why everyone strips them out using Phillips head screwdrivers. Excellent work BTW and I believe I’m going to get a set of those sync gauges, you’ve convinced my 60 year old self!🤘🏼

@johnnyappleseed77987 жыл бұрын
If you calibrate the gauges to each other they will have more accuracy. All you need is a syringe and 4 port manifold to create a common vacuum, then use the calibration screws on the affected gauge. Best to pull the vacuum to the normal operating value during cal-in your case around 20 cm/hg. The cheap Emgo gauges have a cal screw under the glass. If the gauges don't have adjustments then note which are off or mark the bezel for error correction. You also need to dial or damp more bounce out of all the gauges.

if you calibrate them on a monday - you will have 6 more different calibrations by Sunday, if you calibrate them at 1000 revs they will be out on 1500 revs - if you use seperate dial gauges you will never know.....but in truth this isnt about accuracy - it is only about getting them into the working zone.....at best.... but lol on the damping - you tell me what you want them to read and i will dial in the damping and all unequally on every gauge.......

I bought a 73 cb750 that had been parked for 43 years. Oil down the cylinders, carb clean, oil change, new plugs, air filter, cleaned points, got it running. It ran poorly, so I removed the carbs again and found a drill bit that fit nicely under one carb slide that I knew was working well. Adjusted the other 3 to match. Voila! I was riding! But a little sputter just off idle, where I do most of my riding bothered me. I built a manometer. Got them adjusted really close to the same. Now it actually runs a little worse. I'm buying some gauges today (quality used ones) and gonna try it again.

what I learned how you easily set the sync without gauges is: remove the carb-bay from your bike take the smallest drill you can (one that is not grimy nor with burrs) get mark one side of the shaft with a Edding(or whatever permanent marker you can get) for repeatability of the position for the next step: BE GENTLE! using force might damage your carb fataly open the butterfly by turning the RPM screw in, so that the drill will juuust fit between the "Master"-butterfly and the carb-body with the mark facing up (make notes for the turns on the RPM screw) repeat with the "Slave"-butterflies so that the drill will juuust fit underneath those close the RPM screw back to normal by screwing it out insert the carb back into your bike and take a ride to warm up the engine adjust the idle to spec RPM

Depending on how the carb vacuum layout is you can have 2 banks of 2 carbs instead of 1 master carb. Keihin FCR's are like this. Carb 1and2 are tied together and 3and4 are ties to gether. With port linking the 2 banks of 2 together. You make 1&2 the same, 3 & 4 the same then bring both pairs together with the center spring screw.

Great editing Cody! The reason for the difference in the vacuum vs. mercury is the vac gauges need "sync'd" to each other before use. I do it every time I use them. I can share the link to my video on doing that if you'd like. Also note, the Mercury gauges need "sync'd" too. Its common the many folks (not looking like you do) store the gauges on their side and little by little small amounts of mercury (or the later used blue fluid) separate of leak out and cause you to think the carb are out of sync. The big point here is your carb sync is only as good as the gauge sync. Keep Wrenching pal...H2W

love your vids mate, it looks like the old school mercury sync gauge is more accurate than the new gauges. As mercury is a substrate that can't be altered, it's automatically in calibration, and perhaps the gauged calibration setup has gauges that could possibly be out of calibration? But as you said, you can get the synchronisation in the ball park with close tolerances.

The manometer is fine with higher revs, you just have to be careful not to make abrupt throttle changes, increase and decrease. You want slow and steady to avoid vacuum spikes. And you should make a point of throttling above idle, the sync can change.

Old school method is just placing a pipe between carb intake (if it has vacuum gauge spigots theyre even better) and your ear. If all carbs are adjustable (many banks of four have adjusters on only 3 carbs) you listen for the carb with the most suck (the loudest) and then adjust each of the other carbs, constantly checking, until they all sound the same. Obviously on carb banks that have one carb thats non adjustable (old hondas) you have to adjust all the others to sound like that one. Either way, your carbs are balanced. Clearly you have to ensure that the butterfly valves are all synched first but this you can easily do by eye, holding the bank up to a light source and comparing the crescent of light that comes through (throttles shut).

I always had a heck of a time getting Mikuni Jets dialed in correctly ive owned a lot of Bikes and watercraft and i never developed “the Ear” that the Professionals have i did however use a borrowed Vacumn Guage set to sync my old Honda 4 cylinder that was a 650 cc and I loved everthing about that bike as i felt it had the weight and ride of a much bigger bike mine was loaded with soft Saddle Bags a Sissy bar/ back rest and a luggage rack fo long distance rides the drawback to that bike was it was. A 1981 and that was the year motorcycles had to run with the headlight on. So many manufacturers just hot wired the head light with a modified harness and did not up grade the charging systems from the previous year. Production which resulted in a slow drain on the battery i had a Yamaha that luckily did still have a kick start but the motorcycle wouldn’t run worth a crap with a dead battery. I could tell by the sound of my electric starter that i needed to get the bike home ASAP to put it on a charger the dealer kept telling me there isn’t anything wrong with the Motorcycle after countless of times bringing it in to them it was frustrating my Honda 650].did not have a kick starter it was electric only or push start No real hills to speak of as i lived in South Florida
