Okay, I just read the manual and it appears it's not as simple as I thought. But, it's also not that complicated with the right tool... Although, it does mean I need to buy some gauges to sync them. It'll be worth it though, and cheaper than taking it somewhere to get them sync'd. Found them here and that seems to be a reasonable price. What do you guys think? 60 bucks for the gauges? That seems okay to me. It'd be worth it to have it for now and just for regular maintenance, I'd say.

Sounds like it would be a good investment, keep us up-to-date

Rick, how do you keep your carbs sync'd? Or do you take it to the shop to have them done?

I have had the shop look at them, but have not synced them myself. If you were nearby I could send you to the guy I use, but I don't think that is the case.

Ya, 60 dollars is cheaper than it would be for the shop by me to do it. According to the manual I'll be doing it when it's almost fully assembled anyways so it'll be the last thing I do once the rest of my job is done.

Shouldn't be too bad then, I have seen drag tell a few ppl how to do it, and kohburn had some way to make your own tool to do it. [8D]

I can help you with the jetkit, but unfortunately I don't know much about the carb sync[&o]

I like buying more tools, I just would've rather avoided the extra expense. I haven't even got the pipe yet. I guess this is how hobbies go. lol

What set are you looking at for $60 Deuce? I did not see the link.
Get the gauges if you plan on even touching carbs. A great tool to have.

I run analog gauges at the time, looked at these, http://www.carbtune.com/carbdtls.html.

Just not a fan on mercury or glycol water column gauges. The digital ones require you to recalibrate, where as the analog gauges, you just zero out prior to install.

It's right here http://www.sportingforless.com/motor...auge-p-63.html

Those seem like they would do the job. I hadn't even seen ones that looked like what you linked up til then.
