    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    You guys are terrific. I've learned more in the last few days about my VMAX than in the 20 years I've owned it. Yes, that's pathetic. I'm high centered for a day or three, busy with unimportant parts of life. But I'll get back to this important part ASAP. ONE MORE QUESTION PLEASE: Am I correct...

    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    That's the problem with raising good and active kiddos....they require even more time, eh? Bravo! I complimented my neighbor just last eve for teaching his 8-yr-old how to properly mow the yard. My mower was my income at that age. Mark, are you saying that if the female part where the sync...

    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    Thanks Steve. I reckon next step is for me to pull the covers and ensure I understand which screws are not adjusting...not screwing in or out I presume. I'll do it gently and measure my turns.

    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    Thank you Mr. SDT. Please hold my hand just a bit longer. You're helping more than you might realize. Is it fair to say, then, that the mixture of gasoline and air going to each cylinder is the same ratio but the cylinders will not be getting the same volume of that mixture at a given throttle...

    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    Thanks FireMed and SDT (dang near said STD!). I'm gathering your advice and I copied photos and discussion from another gent's post on how to sync the carbs. I don't have the syncing tool but next I'll at least pull the covers off and find out for sure which screw(s) is/are the problem. Just...

    Newbie needs help; stripped sync screws

    Howdy from Oklahoma! I'm ashamed to have been so ignorant for the 20 years I've had my '96 VMAX. Mechanic who rebuilt carbs a few years ago advised the sync screws were stripped so he could not properly sync the carbs. I presume that means the part that the screw goes into is stripped or he'd...
