so tomorrow i will be makeing my meter to sync the carbs
i have some clear tube around 2 meters long and some trans fluid
can someone take a pic of how to hook this up to set the carbs
if i need longer tube i can go to plan b
and use two bottles and rubber stoppers drilled to fit the tube and make it that way
never done this before so i need some help
 
I do not have a picture ready for ya, BUT!! On each carb boot(Between engine and carb) will be a fitting. That is what you attach the hosing to. This fitting(port) will represent the relative vacuum of each carb's pressure.

Let me know if you get confused or whatever and need some help. I can pm you my # to text or call and we can figure it out over the phone.

Edit: PM'd ya my # to text incase you got any issues tomorrow. Setting up the tool is quite simple. the tuning can be tricky :p I suggest the dead cylinder method.

This wasn't my idea, but I made one and it works beautifully. I used motor oil; when out of balance you can slowly watch the fluid change sides and tiny bubbles in the oil can be seen to change direction and demonstrate the direction of flow instantaneously.
