Well, after many years being away from Carbs, and learning Robert Bosch's systems on my own personnel vehicles, I am now taking what I learned about basic carb principles, to tuning Holleys for drag racing, and reading the two different books I bought on Webers, I would like to ask all of you kind folks what Carb Synchrometer is your personnel favorite? I see the Uni-Syn and another named Synchrometer TYPE SK from Redline Inc. The latter is much more exspensive than the uni-syn. An ex-F1 mechanic here in town says Uni-Syn. Are there others, and has anyone used this Redline product? Thanks.

On MFI the idle adjust screws don't move the butterflies, they open air passages around them.
Don't mess with the butterfly stops unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it is better to leave them alone unless something is grossly wrong. The stuff about adjusting the linkages does apply. I used to pop off linkages and watch to see if the airflow changed. If it changes when you pop one off, the linkage was adjusted incorrectly. |
