Clear as mud Steve, I'll watch the video, thanks mate.

OK, so as I understand it, I start by synching 3 and 4, then 1 and 2 then, using the middle synch screw, synch 1/2 with 3/4. Is that right? My Carbtune Pro dosen't need calibrating so I can skip this step it would seem.

[petejw]

What's a 'turn'? Is it a full 360 degree turn or 180? And what screw do I turn anyway? I've got the synchroniser on the bike and I'm turning the idle mixture screw but nothings happening. I turned what I thought was the idle speed screw and the bike revved it's head off and the gauge went off the scale. I can only see three of these though. Is there a step by step procedure for idiots?

Dan,
Idiot.

dan, take it back to the guy and get him to sort it out for u,
u paid a small fortune for that work done, he should at
least get it running right for u.

[Stralya]

I want to Pete but he's already told me that vacuum synchronising isn't necessary so I can't convince him I have a problem. I have a small hole in header pipe No.2 and he says this is why the revs are slow to come down and that the carbys are perfect. I've got the synchroniser on the bike as we speak, all I need to know is how to operate the bloody thing. I don't suppose you feel like a ride to Ryde do you?

[petejw]

not particuly, can u put it together and ride it over here
and ill look at it for u.

did he at least take the bike for a ride
after he finished working on it?

[Stralya]

Nope, he said he didn't need to. I've got all four pretty close, I feel like a ride, I'll even bring my synch tool for you to have a look at. I'll put it all together and come for a yarn. I've lost your number.

the fact he didnt test ride it says it all,
no wonder mechanics get a bad name,
send me a txt 0414821573 and ill send
my addy, ive got all the tools here.

[Stralya]

Believe it or not I don't know how to send a text. I know where you live unless you've moved. My number is 9877 6436 if you want to give me a ring before I go.

Sync

Vacuum sync will fix that problem!

[Stralya]

Job done. Problem solved. Thanks to Pete, what a champion! It's easy once you see it done, thanks mate. I'll change those plugs in the morning and let you know if there's any difference. The ride home was outstanding, plenty of power throughout the range, no missing, no popping on deceleration, smooth as silk through every gear. I was so comfortable and relaxed I took time to notice heads turning, I forgot how good the bike looks, been too worried about what will go wrong next. It's such a relief, thanks so much. Thanks to everyone who responded as well, it's a great group.

Dan,
Still an idiot, but who cares with friends like you.

[jwhughes3]

Awesome!

[crazy steve]

Now you know why we rarely recommend taking these bikes to a 'mechanic'... not many of them really are..

[petejw]

good stuff mate, glad to get it sorted
for you.

[petejw]

dan, i forgot to mention when u replace the plugs
with the leads ur using u need to get resistor plugs
i think there bpr6es, otherwise u wont be hearing
much from ur stereo except for static.

[Stralya]

Yep, thems the ones I got...and thanks for reminding me, I need to hook the stereo back up. I'll do a better job this time, I found a power source among those wires you mentioned behind the ignition key area so I wont have to run a wire back to the accessory terminals under the seat. It's been a great day, wins all round.
