Building from Kirk's suggestion, I would love to hear group recommendations for a good carb balancer / sychronizer tool to use on the BMWs. Also best way to alternate between cylinders without having to pull the plug wires every time.

Thanks,

Denny

Hi Scott,

When you say that you made a “minor rebuild”, what did that involve? Did you remove or replace the jets for instance. Please elaborate a little.

I take it that the slides were removed, perhaps that throttle stop screws as well for cleaning?

Wild guess without knowing more, check that the throttle stop screws are properly adjusted. Also, invest in a carb synchrometer / balancer to help take out the guesswork. Cheap and available on Amazon or eBay.

The experts will tell you they do it by ear. Well good for them, but too much trial and error for this occasional mechanic.

Best regards, Kirk
