home made manometer

[BadLuck]

Hello, im making a home made manometer and would like to know what to use for the fluid that wont hurt the motor if it happens to get into the intake while making adjustments? Thank you

A heavy oil or auto trans. fluid will be OK.

I like 2 stroke engine oil. Its bright blue.

you can also make a bottle style one so there is no chance of fluid getting sucked into the carbs. I just made one last night. I will upload pictures after work and am going to give it a try, i've heard this is the best and safest way to sync the carbs so we will soon find out.

I like to use tranny fluid, it is a cleaner, and bright red, also if you use a bottle method manometer you don't have to worry about sucking the fluid into the carbs. The best way to do it by many I have been told.

never seen the bottle style one your speaking of.
