View Full Version : Vacuum Gauges for Carb Sync?

Somewhere buried deep in the basement must be my vacuum gauges that I use to synchronize carbs, but for the life of me I can't find them (and haven't seen them since I moved to Colorado).

It's not like you need to synchronize the DFI systems very often but I just rebuilt the carbs from my old KZ1300 and want to get them setup right. I can do it with 4 gauges but 6 is even better. Does anybody have a set (or two) that I could borrow long enough to do my bike?

Tuning by ear just goes so far....

OKD,
does that mean the 1300 is running?

I'm waiting on a new cam chain tensioner before I run it but otherwise it is mechanically ready. That bike has a bad history of cam chain tensioners going bad and screwing with valve timing in the worst kinda way and I don't need that now.

Next, I need to figure out what the heck I'm going to do with it. Sure wish I still had the old DG 6 into 1 exhaust and cafe setup I used to have. Otherwise I think I will just think about a paint job.

I am so looking forward to the sound of the inline 6 again....
