Carb syncing question

[Antonn3]

if I recall correctly, from an article I read...... you can use small tie wraps cinched up on each hose ...

When I had a set of gauges, I used small hose clamps and wire nuts to constrict the vacuum lines and provide damping.  However, for $30 more the Morgan Carbtune is a much better solution.

just go to a pet store and buy 4 fish tank pump valves , same thing as fitted to my synch gauges but much cheaper

So, I gotta ask...how do you calibrate the air valves? How do you know how far to open or close them?

Pat, you Non-conformist!!! Rebel!!! Anarchist!!!! 

Ok, how the hell do you set the fish valves??? More buffer/restriction from one or more will alter how it looks and behaves according to to the other vacuum tubes.

You don't "calibrate" them.  Their whole purpose is to damp the wild swings of the needles or fluid column.  So, you turn them in just enough to minimize (not stop) the movement.

Mine are like Randy's offering.  You close the valves down to control the range of the needle vibration.  At full shut they don't move obviously.  Open a little and they move a little.  When you have them open the right amount, the needles are bouncing minimally and all needles are moving rapidly up and down the range as you blip the throttle.  Hard to describe, but works easily and no advanced skills required.  Don't know a thing about the Morgan however.  Sounds like it damps the pulsing with weighted rods?

thanks arnie, that's exactly how they work, at least someone is thinking outside the box

[Pat Conlon]

Ok, gotcha. The Morgan has small inline jets you place in the clear tubing at the prescribed distance to the unit.

I have a set of gauges like rpm sell, , same type of valves fitted as the fish tank pump type , as I have both types to compare them ,, also have a motion pro think they are the same as Morgan carb tune , with the tapered screw to dampen / slow down vaccume

[mich1jon]

Excellent feedback! The extra $30 would have been worth it (I'll have to read Amazon's return policy) but it sounds like I'm probably about to increase my knowledge on vacuum dampening.

Here's you first lesson (everyone else pay attention also).

DampENing means to wet something.

Damping means to slow something down.
