Hey peoples, I need to know if anyone in vic has a vaccuum gauge and the measuring tool that you use to measure the gap between the doovalacky and the thingimajiggy valve doovas. (don't worry, theres no sugar, and i have the manual)

Cheers

Duane

Borrowed a carbsynch off my neighbour and synched my carbs yesterday, took 20 minutes, tops.

You also reminded me i need to do my tappets too, something about "never having actually done them since the bike was serviced at purchase time" 16 thou km ago :oops:

. Now that the tanks off, i might get to it after work this week :roll:

Good luck getting the carb synch tool and the "feeler guages", i believe thats the magic words youwere looking for....

Thats right, Mina judges things off how hard the suck by referring them as a 3 minute blowie or a 5 minute blowie...

I've got a mecury carb balancer, with fittings, and feeler gauges. I'll probably be in Nazza Wazza on the weekend if you don't find one before then Duane.

Same here, although I'm in Hampton Park. Sing out if you need a hand.
