I have removed the v boost along with doing a complete stage 7 mod several years ago. The bike now needs a good carb cleaning. I've tried the shotgun and pea shooter, but have problems off idle - the bike runs fine at idle with choke - dies when giving it throttle.
Done the Seafoam trick - helps sometimes - changed out the gas, new fuel filter, etc.
Bike is a 92 and has never had the carbs off since the mod. Guess it is time for a good cleaning.
I have an old mercury carb stick, which I used to balance the carbs way back when, but understand from the forum that I should be using a Weber synchrometer. What I am unsure of is exactly how. Do I only need one, and read one carb at a time, switching between ! and 2 until they give the same reading? Then 3 and 4 the same way? Then the banks to each other? Do I need any adaptors, or will it just simply fit into the carb body? I assume I need the STE SK model and not the BK high flow model - correct?
Many thanks for the help. This is a great forum with tons of good info. I searched for detail info on using a Weber, but didn't find a thread, so if I missed it, my apologies for the bandwidth.
