Synchrometer Recommendations, Your "secrets" on Carb Sync tools Options

[Martin Baker]

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.

I don't have the book handy JP. What size venturis are you running? Carbs are 40's?

And I use the STE

Ayup, 40s with 34 mm venturi.

I get clogged jets occasionally. When I put the thing together, I made the mistake of trying to seal a questionable fitting with teflon tape..down stream of the filter..bout every 6 mos or so, I get a little bird's nest in an idle jet to remind me that I'm a dumb shit.

Continual jet clogging should be dealt with. It is not normal. A good filter close to the carbs....clean out everything down stream of the filter...including the carbs. Good winter project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
