I know this is an old thread... but comes in really handy.
Got my ´89 1100 almost perfectly sync´d, but then cylinder #1 got no fuel, and was not working, so decided to do it again, and took the "total uscrew" path. I tried to sync carbs again, but there is no way in which I can get a smooth idle now.
Is there a way to get a starting point for sync´ing while carbs are on the bike?
Question #2: There is one carb seeping fuel from the drain plug. How can I regulate the float height with the carbs on the bike? Is there any reference I can use..
Yes... you know by now... I completely dislike getting the carbs out!ç
Cheers!
