Im getting a carbtune pro carb balance tool just wondering if anyone has balanced there fzr themselves with a proper gauge and what number they should sit on any tips would be greatly appreciated
I'm sure someone who's more versed with FZR will step in, but you usually balance the carbs so they're within a certain amount of vacuum relative to each other. The actual amount of vacuum for each cylinder or a particular cylinder will be specific to your engine. The actual process will be specific to your model.
As far as I know they dont need to be on any particular number .... they just have to all read the same. I believe theres a correct order when turning the screws.... I think its something like balancing 1 and 2 , then 3 and 4, then 2 to 3 .... something like that .... need to check on that. Blip the throttle between each adjustment Have the airbox on. Watch the temp gauge. Theres a few vids on youtube showing syncing 4 carbs
yeah grey i think those numbers sound right according to the write up on fzr 250 . com im sure i have seen a carb vacuum pressure somewhere on a jap manual found it my bad guys its 18. 7 kpa or am i reading another measurement all together
In my experience it is more important to have the balance of the carbs the same ie; all the same vacuum, as there are too many variables to fit to a figure. For example, valve clearances, ring wear, carbon deposits, air cleaner restriction, exhaust design, humidity and temperature, even idle speed will all make a difference to the vacuum reading. Get the reading the same on all carbs and enjoy the ride.
