So i have managed to sync my carbs with a manometer, compliments of roboto65!!!!!! Still excited that I managed to achieve this feat!! LOL!! but I did run into a snag...Where can I purchase a complete set/kit of fittings/nipples for the carbs? I made some out of a few plastic fittings that i had laying around, but I would much rather have the "real" fittings for this type of job..

Oh and I will also post this in a seperate Topic, but if you are reading this then you probably have done this before, so I will add a neat little trick that I learned....
On bikes equipped with the auto fuel valve, normally vacuum operated, getting the diaphram to stay open can be tricky. Well for about $1 I have found the simplest of ways to overcome this headache!!!!..........................................................................

ITS A MONDAY MORNING!!! Think I made my coffee a little to strong!!!   LOL!!!

Ok Seriously.... My $1 trick to apply just enough vacuum and mainting it.... A small plastic syringe!!! Just plug it up to the vacuum line coming from the valve, draw the plunger back gently and slowly, and with the bike running, you can adjust the pull til the bike runs smoothly!!! From there, Hook up your sync tool and have fun reaching the adjustment screws!! ;) Seriously though, this worked amazingly well for me, and didnt cause any harm to the valve or anything!!

Hope it helps someone else!!!

Motion Pro also makes these shorter ones with caps if you want to leave them in permanently. I have all three lengths and found I like the shorter ones the best because the longer ones snap off so easily but mine were easy to access. One other tip, if you order them directly from Motion Pro make sure to ask if they they have them in stock . I ordered them and a month later they had not arrived so I got them off of ebay from a guy who said he did actually have them. Another month went by and they finally showed up from Motion Pro.
