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.

Get the STE sycrometer. Unisyns restrict airflow and make carb adjustments difficult.
If I might add some Weber tuning advice. Wear earplugs or sound muffs, as you'll probably get some back firing until everything is adjusted perfectly. To correctly adjust the air bypass screws; start with them screwed all the way in, find the barrel that is drawing the most, and adjust the others to (on that carb) to balance air flow. This is why you want the STE syncrometer and not a Unisyn. I've got to run now, but I'll post my tuning proceedure later. PK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
