carb balancing
bikecarbfred - 29/6/20 at 09:05 AM

want to balance the cbr600 1999 carbs: have purchased a 4 gauge carb balancer kit from ebay.

are these the 4 points where you attach the hoses to?

I always thought there were like coolant galleries. :/


I have blowed air through one checking to see if it travels to another opening but they dont. They seem individual gallery to each carb.

Hi, when on the bike, the vacuum pipes fit into small ports built into the block/ inlet manifold. You remove the blanking plugs and screw in the adaptors for your gauge.

On my Blackbird there is one 'port' which goes to a vacuum tap on the fuel tank, the other 3 are blocked off with small screws - these are on the block just below where the carbs mount
