Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Brents Carb Balancer

I bought one of Brents Carb Balancer's and have used it twice both times I ended up with condensation water sitting on top of the mercury.

I got rid of the water, by blowing on the ends of the four tubes the water being lighter it settled on the top of the mercury. I then pulled the cap off and slide the tubes up a bit and used a tissue to draw off the water. I then reassembled everything and re-started the bike and really let her warm up a good 25 minutes. I then pulled of the vaccum caps and let her run a little longer (I had to keep a little pressure on the throttle) to keep her from stalling) When I did this I noticed what look like steam coming out of the vaccum ports for a few seconds.

Then I shut her down and reconnected the tubes and started her up now I had four perfert tubes and I was out of balance as I adjsuter her you could hear the difference as both carbs came into balance.

I shut her down and followed Pat's advise and reversed the tubes and started her back up and lucked out she was perfect.

I guess the key is if you have Bretts less expensive carb balancer let the bike really warm up before you connect the balancer I would also recommend to shut down the bike prior to hooking up the balancer also.

Hope this helps someone.
