Very nice explanation
Thank u

Any multi cylinder or multi carbed machine must be sync'd to have anywhere near optimum idle/performance. Without this adjustment, your cylinders are literally fighting each other ! It takes an ok bike/sled and turns it into a smooth swiss watch. First bike I ever sync'd was a 85 FJ 600. 8000 miles. Owned by a farmer/mechanic. He had adjusted the idle over the couple years of it's life to adjust for the carbs falling out of sync/ possibly not sync'd from the factory. When I got her dialed in,,,it was idling at 4200 RPM with the adjustments he had made.. I took that knowledge to sleds and Banshees and wa la. The rest is history. If you ever get a set, use extreme caution. A blip of the throttle or too high of rpm and you will suck the mercury right out of the gauges into the bike. I will venture a guess that a Major amount of powersports dealers today still do not know this basic trick. I know the sled dealers around here have zero clue. I have seen 3 variations of vacuum gauges, the balls being the best .

I went to see Tool last night. First time seeing them. I haven't been to a lot of shows lately, as i'm getting older now. But i used to go to see a lot of live music. Tool was probably the biggest hole in my resume of bands (that I could still see, i.e. everyone is alive). They were outstanding. Incredibly talented. I was expecting them to be great and I was blown away surprised by how great they were. Highly recommended.

Yea, that LOL! I've broken two sets of Motion Pro gauges (they don't travel well) and come so close to sucking mercury into a few engines I swear they could taste it. Not to mention it's a little toxic. I tried a DIY set of cheap automotive vacuum gauges, but they varied wildly between each other, so by the time I was done switching line back and forth to get a happy medium result my pipes were glowing red. Now I use a big fan religiously when doing this as well as a proper hanging fuel bottle which I have learned must not be hung too high, or the increased pressure due to gravity can lift the needles off the seats. Amazing how that works.

The other issue with doing this yourself is the adaptors. Between the ones that came in my current kit and the ones I've accumulated from Motion Pro I still seem to have trouble finding the right lengths at times and have had to buy extras and cut them to length.

Then after all this my buddies wonder why I roll my eyes when they cry about what a dealer wants charge to do a tune up.

Happy memorial day!!!

Had a flat from Yermo to San Diego in the trailer and never felt it.....200+ miles!!

Messing with gravity today. Just fell off the last rung of a 9' ladder a few minutes ago trying to hang a banner. Bounced off a bench and the lower end of a Tri-Z engine before finding the floor, but managed to hook the banner on a wall rack and pulled it down with me. May have saved me now that I think about it. Still in shock, so no pain ... yet, but there's going to be LOL!

I see Tool every time I hit the biffy

[El Camexican]

Shin is seeping blood, ribs hurt and my knee has that nice warm feeling that usually means it will hurt to walk tomorrow. Good news is the rack and banner are back up and the walk is painted. Rum time.

I was busy selling my 1966 Mustang to Oumi Kapila yesterday whom is the lead guitar player and a writer for the double platinum record selling rock band Filter and whom once played at the same venue as Van Halen.

His musician friend on the left of the photo was visiting him from Australia and came with him to drive Oumi's BMW back which Oumi is selling now that he has a real car.

Tool is a modern day tribute to psychedelics and a higher level of consciousness .......it`s a brilliant work by Maynard ......the artist that did the videos and lights behind stage ......is off the chain .........saw them last year loved it ......did he wear his robocop suit ? .....primal , methodical just a real different approach to a rock show ......i don`t understand why no lights on Maynard ......might be allergic ......i`d go again this year too !

Missed them in STL last January. Had I gone it would have been my fifth time. #1 band of all time IMO. I am all about the lyrics and Maynard is quite simply amazing.
