Since we are talking Carb Balance and Accuracy, I once posted about just how sensitive the adjustment is.
While adjusting the Balance, I noticed that even the small, 1/10th-of-a-turn movement of cinching down the Adjusting Barrel
Locknut made a noteworthy difference in Balance. So much so that I plan for that by setting the Adjusting Barrel slightly
Imbalanced so that when the Locknut is tightened, it is in Perfect Balance.
That got me to thinking.
Since such a teeny-tiny movement making for such a readable Balance Change. what would happen if the Adjusting Barrel was made moveable....just a little bit? Couldn't that "little bit" be used to keep the Carb Balance in Fine Tune after setting it? What if that small adjustment could be used to maintain the setting and not have go through the whole,..... Seat off, Tank off, Spare Tank on,...and back again.
So,...I made me a set of Adjusting "mechanisms"' that can be accessed externally,... with the Tank On!
They have a "Range Of Movement" of about 1/8 turn of the Adjusting Barrel. Given that the Locknut Balance Variance I mentioned above didn't even turn the Adjusting Barrel,.. these can
easily maintain the Fine Tuning of Carb Balance.
Here's the Front Carb Unit,...the one that sets Idle Balance;
To adjust the 2000 RPM Balance, I use the Rear Carb Adjusting Barrel instead of the Front Carb Adjusting Barrel;
Here they are,...both installed,...In Situ on the Bike;
Here is the Rear Carb Unit component pieces;
Here's the Adjusting Tools.....one is Custom Made from two other tools
And how the tools are used:
So!....Now I can Maintain the Fine Tune on my Bad Boy Chopper's Carbs with only needing to connect the Morgan Carb Tune.
