carb sync tool in tampa?

smackinass · 01-16-2008, 08:02 AM

Hopin someone can helpa brotha out.

I need to sync my carbs and adjust the idle mixture, of course cant afford to have the shop do this, and was wondering if anyone in or near tampa florida might have a carb sync tool and/or a tune up tachometer i would be able to use.

thanks guys,
maxwell.

I have carb sticks, but no tach. I always adjusted the idle mixture by... "feel".

You should check and adjust valve clearance before you sync the carbs... then sync carbs, then adjust idle mixture, then adjust idle speed, then thrash the crap out of it...

that was the general idea, i'm hoping to have time to adjust the valves this weekend, maybe next weekend we could meet up or somethin? i would definitely appreciate the use of your carb sticks. and thrashing is always in store!!!!!!! maybe i could return the favor with a beer or somethin...also im a kind of a newb with mechanics, but im ok with a set of wrenches, maybe i could also talk you into helping adjust the idle mixture...maybe for another one of them beers?or we could work somethin out. thanks for replying,
maxwell.

That's really close to my buddy's shop. I'll ask him today if I can do it there. He has a bike shop on Florida and Linebaugh... and Sunday should be just fine.
