i've read just about every post on this & other forums on synching the tb's and still confused
1. is baseline 1 or 1.5 turns out after bottomimg out brass screws or another # and why?
2. do i need to remove the tps and why? mine is a sensor NOT a switch so there's is no click.
3. is tb #3 the reference tb that all others are synched to? once baseline is established is tb #3 left alone or is it adjusted? which tb do you synch to which?????
4. are these parameters correct...a. none should be turned out more than 1.5 turns?
b. none should be turned out less than .5 turn?
c. there should be no more than .5 turns betw any carbs?
5. if i bottom out ALL brass screws and start bike and it runs fine WITHOUT stalling what does that indicate???
6. what's the ideal or recommended vacuum from each tb?
7. connecting a "t:" to tb #1 w/ hose to fuel pressure reg makes NO difference from my experience. why is it requited???
8. i'm using basic cheapo vacuum gauges (2) and pinching the hose to keep needle from jumping around. i can get #1, #2, #4 to synch but the reference tb #3 always off (puts out LESS vacuum). is this normal or am i doing somnething wrong???
i got them as close as possible and now the vibration at high speeds is ACCEPTABLE. notice i didn't say GONE???!!! i don't think no vibration is possible on these freakin' bikes!!!! i got out on my '83 suzuki gs1100e chain drive this afternoon and what a difference. even w/ basic super thin grips, bike is silky smooth is all gears and rpm's up to 100 mph all day long w/ NO VIBRATION. i love my k but the vibration is annoying any way you slice it or dice it!!!!
