How can we make it easier to synchronize a cable-operated carburetor?
\nIt’s always a challenge\u2026
\nUnit number one arrived the other day.
 
\n
 
Edelblock Synchro Tester
\nThe name sounds impressive, but it feels cheap\u2014I guess you get what you pay for?
\nI took it apart, added an attachment, and connected it to a digital synchro tester, but\u2026
\nNo response\u2026
\nAs I suspected, it doesn’t generate enough vacuum.
\nEven using it standalone, the gauge reading changes depending on the angle.
\nI have to measure all four carburetors without changing the angle.
\nRejected!
 
\n
 
Unit number two.
\nPutting aside my disappointment, I’m taking on the challenge with the STE Synchro Tester!
\nI bought the real German-made one.
\nThat weird junk-looking thing next to it is a slug I made today.
 
\n
 
I tried welding a plate to some titanium exhaust pipe, but\u2026 it came out pretty rough, like a slug\u2026
\nIt went terribly wrong. I’m discouraged. I really need more practice.
\nI ran out of argon for the back gas, so I went with just the gas lens.
\nDoes skipping the back gas really produce this much spatter? No good.
\nBurned up\u2026
 
\n
 
Will this let me dial in synchronization easily at extreme angles?
\nI have to say, the result was pretty disappointing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
