NC35 - Carb Balancing

Post by racingt » Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:58 pm

Hi guys, winters arriving and time to service the bike.
I need to invest in a Morgan CArbtune Pro - but will I need adapters for the RVF?
Also has anyone any tips for carb balancing - never done it, can I manage with fuel tank in situ, or do I need to rig up an alternative - sorry, that show my level of inexpertise, doesn't it!!

Any tips gratefully received, thanks

Do a forum search, there was a guy who took a photo of where the vacuum port screws on the intake manifolds were.

This has been done over and over.

PM if you want and cant find the photos.

Hi, with the Morgancarbtune pro kit there are various adapters supplied that will fit on the vacuum connections of each cylinder. Check for Haynes manual to locate them on your bike. Do not overtight the adapters as the thread will easily get damaged (adapters are made from nylon) or get the brass adapters. I balanced the carbs of my bikes with the standard fuel tank just lifted up few cm with a small block of wood underneath the rear mounting point, of course I then use slight longer fuel and vacuum lines to cover length. Other solution is to get indeed an smaller fuel tank of just 1 or 2 litres from let's say an mini bike/moped.
