I'm a dope... Where are the sync screws??

Post by sacook542 »

I've already shown my inexperience several times on this forum so, I don't feel any hesitation in describing my latest issue.
I've only got a couple more things to do to this '79 before I put it up for sale. One of them is syncing the carbs.

My question stems from this observation: I only see 3 screws. between #1 and #2, between #3 and #4 and between #5 and #6.

Where are the screws for #1 and #6 or, am I an idiot again?

All my love.

The ones between 2 and 3, 4 and 5 point rearward at about a 45 degree angle. You find them by inserting your tool right on top of the little 'scallops' on the top rear mounting bracket of the carbs. If you have incorrectly routed your bowl vent Ts there (a common mistake), you'll have no access to those adjusters.
