[carb balancing]

Thank you guys. The carbs have already been stripped and new orings and  float valves have been installed. The carb losing fuel was a result of the balancing exercise... it´s a real pain, as they were almost perfectly balanced already.

Yep... I guess I´ll have to get them out of the bike again... :-(

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!

 

Actually, I can pretty much sync #1 with #2 and #3 with #4... but then I get to the center bolt to get both groups balanced, and my idle goes down like crazy
