Carb balancing - how hard is it?
Written by elden_miller_96 on 6/21/2010 at 07:38 pm

I built mine & affixed it to a board to be left hanging in the garage. Over time
the ATF settled itself into place. Of course I constructed mine in the dead of
winter but I am sure in the heat of summer it may settle in quicker.

In the directions it talks about applying vacuum to the petcock hose (I think) &
then pinching it off. Never really understood the mechanics behind this since it
looks like it would leave a vacuum port open. How critical is this & why does
this need to be done?

a $1.55, you really feel like you *should* have paid more since it took like an
hour to get it in and another few for it to settle. Doh!

way myself, the easiest (and most duh-simple) way to get the fluid in to the
tube is to put one end in the can of ATF, and suck the fluid into the tube
either with a Mity-Vac or your mouth.
