Check the motorcycle shops in the area. Many have
relatively inexpensive, mercury scale, multi-carb,
balancing meters for the 2 or 3 or 4 carbs on the
bikes. Should look like:

If you do purchase one, get the 4 scale unit, obviously
you could use it for other applications....or talk your
EAA or PFA group into the purchase.
I would lend mine (used on my MG Midget with dual SU
and Honda Interceptor with 4 Mikuni) to you but
shipping to/from UK will exceed the cost.

Subject: Carb Balabcing
My Rotax manuals are less than helpful when it comes to
setting up the
carbs. I dont really believe that setting up the
balance at idle RPM will
give a satisfactory result throughout the RPM range. So
at what speed should
the balance be set up - 3000RPM, 4000 RPM.
Also how do you set up the mixture - at present the
plugs on the RHS are
black while the LHS are ok (pale brown) - do I need to
lower the needle or
adjust the balance ?????
Does anyone have suggestions or ideas on how to set up
the carbs on the
Rotax 912 and also any reccomendations on suitable set
up equipment.
I understand Skydrive have a balancing kit but have no
idea how good it is -
price 50 approx.
I have also come accross a device called Carbtune II
intended for bikes. (
www.users.myisp.co.uk/~carbtune/carboprn.html )
Any tips/ reccommendations would be greatly
reccommended.
