Carburetor air balancer

[BuffaloBill]

This is a carburetor balancer for use on 2 or more 
carbs to balance the air flowing through to the 
engine. 
Just hold tightly against the intake and take the 
readings of each and adjust accordingly. 
Makes for much improved fuel economy and smoother 
running engine. 
Open to offers on this one.

Great little tools BB, I still have the same gadgets in my servicing toolkit.

 

Essentials for anyone tinkering with multi carb engines and mechanical ignition systems.

 

Those were the days....

I always used a length of 10mm diameter tube.

 

One end stuck in my lug hole and the other over the edge of the inlet.

 

I could hear minute differences and adjust accordingly - worked a treat!!

That was a great way before my hearing went south   try some vac gauges there brill for setting up multi carb systems correctly, one time when hearing was ok?set some carbs then checked with gauges wasnt that far out but you have to have that lug ole that works !!!

That's reminded me of another indispensable and cheap tool for engines, a car stethoscope.

 

I bought one many years ago and it's been very useful tracking down odd noises in my car and boat engines.

 

They can be bought for less than a fiver, need no batteries, and work really well.

 

The only problem is that you look like a Berk when using one......

Hi Strowager,

That looks good but how do you get the engine to cough

Stopping them from coughing is more often the problem...

Ah ha, Dr Strowy I presume!
