Any one use this to do a carb sync? I may be doing something wrong. The levels just continue to bounce up and down which makes it hard to tell what is going on. Anyone one else?

I watched Freddie do mine and it looked very simple. I think you need two people though. One to hold the meter and one to make adjustments.

Did you put in the restrictors.Mine seem to bounce some but was able to get them all the same at least they all bounced to the same spot.
Ya, I did the restrictors. They seem to bounce together pretty close. How close did you get them using the promotion.

Is your idle too low? that can cause it to bounce..
ITS NORMAL FOR THEM TO BOUNCE A LITTLE.. NO MORE THAN 1.5 INCHE OF MERCERY DIFFERENCE IN THE END IS ALLOWED..
I have the motion pro deluxe kit.. works awsome..

Don't need 2 people, Just extend the hanging strap. I just had you hold it while I synched the carbs becasue you were merely taking up space! I love making good customers work for free!!!

If you came the the Muni ride this last weekend, you would have seen how easy it is. Jerry (Big Guy), myself, and others did probably 11 sleds on Thursday night, and another 6-7 on Friday night. Mike (Rockland's) sled had junk in the carbs, so we completely went thru and cleaned them, twice in fact.
Hope everybody's sled is running better. It sure helps after the engine is warmed up. No more 2 handed starting.

Yup thats what I paid now 25 bucks just for some mercury to fill it back up . Lent it to a guy that reved his bike engine and sucked most of the mercury out .

Yes! I've added Mercury to mine, bought a small bottle of it! It's amazing how heavy that metal is :shock:

I want to order a Motion Pro but it comes with 5mm adaptors with 6mm as optional. What do I need for an RX-1? Thanks
