papasmurf Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Lately I noticed that one exhaust seems to be smoking a little bit more than the other, when I put my hand in front of each the right one seems to have more steady and slightly more pressure to it. The difference is really slight and sometimes it's hard to tell but it's there. I tried syncing my carbs, and they looked like they were already synced as close as I could get them. What else could be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Are the air mixture screws adjusted the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdzbangshee Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 put in new plugs and you could have water in the carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 well, i described this in detail a few times.....most recent one was in a carb syncing thread a few months ago......once you have mechanically synced them, you can use the vacuum gauge, if you can get a hold of one, or use exhaust pressure balancing to get it close..

06specialedition Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I haven't used one yet, but I've heard the sync tool is the only way to get them adjusted PERFECT. I would bet its your sync IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev55 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 mine does this too and i also have a fresh top end and fresh rebuilt / tuned carbs... I never put much thought into it though because it runs fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
