    Hi All,

    I have a ZXR250c that had the issue of bogging down at 8k rpm so did as th3_Huntsman's articel suggested and replaced the seals withe the LiteTek seal kit and bench synced all carbs to the same measurements as per workshop manual specs and all seems happy( thanks th3_Huntsman).

    but being a bit anal about it all and just wanting her to run best as possible i want to sync all four carbs using a carbtune tool i have but for the file of me i cant find somewhere to connect each individual carb.

    The pics in the manual are too blury and i assume I'm doing something stupid as i cant find any writeups on the net, help please?

    No worries at all, glad to help. The above fellas have answered your questions about where to attach the tubes.

    Sorry having trouble reading all your awesome answers due to all the egg on my face:headbang:

    Thanks for that guys i feel like a right idiot for not checking the head, i was too focused on finding the tubes on the carbs themselves.
    Thank you all for such swift accurate responses, it makes a real headache(although utterly stupid on my behalf) not nearly as big a problem as it could have been with my next considered steps of dismantling the carbs again if i didn't hear anything back.

    I vacuum syncd' my carbs using a domestic vacuum cleaner pulling air through the carb body with a vacuum gauge on the pipe (with carbs removed from engine) hilarious to see but actually worked so well. I don't know why I haven't seen it done before... Zxr carbs are finicky at the best of times.
