Carb balancer SORTED!

[very_bland]

Afternoon all!
I'm going to finally change back to twin Solex PDSIT 32/34s in a few days on my 2l AC. Anyone know what balancers are compatable?

This site:

Suggests 2 "snail" synchrometers, which look like this:

But just inside the throat of the carb in front of me (number 2, NS) there is a little brass tubing thing (not on the photo of the one in the site above) which would prevent a snail from being used, I would have thought.


Any ideas/links much appreciated!

Cheers,
Billy

I use a set of vacumn gauges same as you can use on a motorbike 4 cylinder works fine for me been using them for about 20 years
you just plug them into the vacumn lines seemples

Cheers Dug! I presume since there are 2 gauges on there, I can use one for each carb? i.e. only need to buy 1 unit?

yep thats the one you need i have a four jobby for the bigboyz toy v8 and bikes

if your using CU 2ltr setup check that your carb balancer pipes are all airtight when you setup as readings will be out otherwise
