How can you be sure that the pressure drops across the two fuel filters are the same? It is enough with 2-3 millibar difference to jeopardize the reading totally. Maybe you should connect the two hoses to a common vacuum first to make sure the filters are equal in resistance?
Couple of questions, first if I have 4 cyl, 4 carbs. Do I need to double this device? Secondly where do I plug in the M5 adaptor for my Suzuki GS1000? Thank you!!
So in a dual carburated motorcycle, what is it on the carburator that you are turning or adjusting that is bringing those levels equal? the idle screw, the mixture screw? TY
Tgis is a JOKE!!! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS!!!! I built the unit exactly how discribes and it sucked ATF (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID) into my motor!!! SO WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW THAT I HAVE ATF IN MY MOTOR!?!?
@@tyshiz3381 The fuel filters, when you are actually watching the manometer, are intended to give you time to shut off the engine before getting the fluid into the cylinders. The carbs on your bike must have been way out for that to have happened. It could have occured if the adjustments were made too quickly or aggressively. Presumably, by now, you have resolved the problem of ATF in your motor. It will have done no more than cleaned out the compression and oil control rings in your motor. Now it will be running lopsided, you may have to run ATF through the other cylinder to ensure that you have cleaned them both out (caution about hydraulic lock). If you have, indeed, "built the (manometer) unit exactly how --discribes-- described", you will not have done any harm to your bike and may have actually improved its condition. That is the reason for using ATF fluid, which acts as a solvent, or 2 stroke oil. Neither of these products will harm the engine of themselves. The only problem may occur if the engine has not been shut off in time to prevent what is known as "hydraulic lock" which can damage your engine.
@@Peter-nu6ix what happens if you get hydraulic lock? I also built one, but had to shut my bike off before the flluid got sucked into the carbs...will that cause Hydraulic lock? I think i have to make my hoses longer is maybe the problem...
The fluid is automatic transmission fluid. The adaptors are mig welding tips you get from welding supply. A lot of tool rental places have them.
Where did you buy the tips? I can’t find m5 tips near me
@@MTNMANWOODWRKS i also tried online and i cant find m5

Nice helpfull understandable video
Am I right in saying this will work as a vacuum gauge rather than a simple, mechanical set up.
Love it!
Very Nice, How do I make one for 4 carbs? you mentioned a couple "T" connectors, but how?

Can i use engine oil for liquid
did u try it with water or does it just make a lot of vapor in the tube?
What song is this?
Should be able to get adapters from auto parts stores too.

It is linkage screw that is located between carburators. That sets the throttleplate opening between each other carburator.
what's the alternative forATF fluid? can i use break fluid or oil fluid?
2 stroke oil incase it gets in the motor
What liquid is that??
looks like transmision oil to me
I used Automatic transmission oil. two stroke oil works very well too.
👍
What size mig tip did you use
1.2mm inner hole tip's. M5 thread for honda and suzuki. M6 for yamaha.
Look up making a manometer to see the 4 carb setup

Lol your supposed to shut the bike off and adjust before it gets into your carb

Thanks for this video, very informative and what is that great backing track..?.
@@Peter-nu6ix i want to build one for my throttle bodies. how do i prevent the liquid from getting inside my engine
Is this a joke?
You need separate tubes for each cylinder, this is nonsense 😒
no, you do not need to do it. You just want to equalize vacuum in cylinders, not to measure it.
