Anyone ever used one of these units?
I've had one for quite some time for the odd multi carbed vehicle that rolls through the doors these days.
Saturday I actually had my shop to myself. I "called it" earlier in the week.
( we're a Mon-Fri business )
So I rolled my bike lift into the middle of a bay, cranked up some Allman Brothers and spent some time with my H2.
I'd static synced the TM34 carps I'd purchased so the slides all moved equally and at the same time.
I figured I'd use that tool to measure actual airflow through them at idle and at 3000 rpm.
They were all different by a large margin with the center cylinder flowing the most air.
So I loosened the lock nuts on the cable adjusters at the top of the carbs and adjusted the cables so that airflow was the same for all three cylinders at idle and 3000 rpm.
I rechecked the static adjustment and sure enough the carb on the center cylinder opens later than the left and right ones.
In fact the carbs now open in this order, Left, Right then Center.
I'd never used that tool on my bike before.
The motor "sounds" noticeably smoother.
I wonder what the results would be with chambers instead of that Cycle Stop 3-1 pipe.
It makes me wonder if the collector with it's scavenging effect is causing different airflow through the cylinders.
Perhaps I should install a set of chambers and see what results I get.
It does sound cool with that pipe though.
I wonder if I'm trying to re-invent the wheel?
