Carb balancing - how hard is it?
Written by elden_miller_96 on 6/21/2010 at 08:56 pm

Juan, I did not have to disconnect the petcock hose. Both ports for syncing the
carbs were available without pulling the petcock hose. I just attached hoses to
the columns & adjusted away. Now I am not sure if I did it right.

BTW - both my sons took summer jobs out at the Anchorage airport and reported
seeing a PC there this weekend.
