Subject : Re: carb synch question
what I'm saying is, when you follow the procedure in the book, (Clymer) you introduce a vacuum leak. I connect a gage to the front carb (today, I went straight to the manifold since the air filter was off, usually I just get it at the t ) and another to the rear carb at the supplied nipple. Why does the rear carb have a seperate nipple? Using this nipple, while leaving the other pressure sensor line still on, introduces a massive vacuum leak since the front carb's pressure sensor line has been pulled. Why, if you have to block off the line, do they even put the separate nipple on the rear carb? Why not connect straight to the manifolds where the pressure sensor lines are (ignoring the second nipple on the rear carb) thus defeating the sensor?

Just what you need is another single carb guy to chime in, right?

I did the same as CR, great minds think alike, replace the 4 way with a 3
way and use it as a connection port for tune up work.

Then when you get the factory system all figured out and your bored with it you buy a KJS kit and start over with something new to play with. 8>)
