Hi John,
I use a balancing tool similar to the Carb Mate to do my synchronizing.
First, only adjust one side, never both sides. All you are trying to do is get
one side to match the other. If you try to adjust both sides youll be chasing
it all day long.
Pick a side to adjust and make a small adjustment on the ferrule, really doesnt
matter which way, all you want to see is which way the Carb Mate changes. If
it improves, that's the way you want to adjust to balance. If the Carb Mate
goes the wrong way, you want to adjust the ferrule in the other direction. Then
continue to make adjustments till you get the Carb Mate centered at highest
resolution.
Its really quite easy once you get the hang of it.
Rotax-Owner.com has a good video review of the Carb Mate which includes a
demonstration
on its use. You should check it out. If you are a member of Rotax-Owner.com
there are other excellent, detailed, videos available on carb balancing
the 912/914. If you arent a member of Rotax-Owner.com I highly recommend
joining
to gain access to all their other videos and to their informational e-mailing.

I used a Carb Mate synchronizer once and found I was fumbling around a lot to
get
the carbs balanced.
If, for examle, the LED light is offset to the right, do you loosen , or tighten
the cable feed to that right side carb? Or do either to the left side?
Instructions didn't provide any clues.
