I'm confused.

Usually not a big item unless the gaskets need to be replaced. With the right sized allan wrench, bcak off the nut and retighten, it may take a couple of trys, if that don't work then the exhaust pipes will have to be removed and new gaskets put in, that's more work.

Yep, for sure would make a difference in fuel mileage.

You may have routed the choke line wrong, don't think there is an adjustment.

Quick,, keep an eye out on Robin, if Bob is gone there is just holding her back from anything, and Debbie will be sneaking around as though nothing un-towards is happening. There's trouble at Kenlake I tell ya. Now for Joe and Bob,, now worries,, neither have any idea on where they might be going or how to get back on their own. I will keep an eye out for them and if they show up here I will put them to work.

Something that came to mind as I watched. The proper procedure to set the rear wheel is to snug, not tighten, the 4 acorn nuts on the pumpkin, then to insert the axle and snug tight, then to tighten the acorns and then to torque the axle. Don't know if you did it this way, just thought I would comment seeing as many guys have no idea.

Yep! Good thing to do when you get a used machine, give it a thorough go over.

Hey,,, it's all downhill,,, what's with that?

Welcome back, we just know you will thoroughly enjoy your choice.

Gonna miss this for sure.

Let's hope it works out for you.

On another look at your tool, I think I see little valves at each gauge do I not. If you close those valves down they will act as restrictors.

Things were more pleasant when you were working,,,, what time do you start today?

Not most,,, just some, but that's all right, hate to have everybody knocking on my door eh.

OOOoooooo!!! PRACHTIG!!!

Carl was 2 minutes away,,, thanks for stopping by.

My recollection is that I run into the same issue some years ago, and discovered at the time that it goes with the gasket as you indicate. It really doesn't do much good in the curved body of the carb throat in MHO. Not only that, but it looks weird.

You will need to put restrictors in the lines to get those gauges to settle down so that real time vacuum can be read.

Those gauges are adjustable but you will still need to make sure they read the same.

Fancy looking tool, nice case as well. Just be sure to match all gauges before you use them each time. When you sync the carbs it's important to have them all at the same vacuum, which is not the same as the highest possible vacuum, so they all have to be dead on with each other. You need to hook them all to the same cylinder at the same time somehow, or have another source of vacuum so they can be tested and calibrated.

Stick with it, we're watching to make sure it comes to life again.

If you still have the factory resistor, just use it. Hook the wire to the positive post. Do not hook up without any resistor.

You are still missing on one cylinder sounds like. It's time to sync the carbs to get a better handle on things. You can't sync by looking at the sliders, you'll need a sync tool for that, as well as setting the idle mixture screws properly.

Yep, that will sure be a change. Just don't expect to do more than what you are able, but keep up the exercise. Always doing something. Wishing you two the best as life brings challenges.
