"Carb Sync"
|
When using points I usually pull one plug lead to dial in the opposite carb, then reverse it for the other side, then balance the idle.
My understanding is on these electronic ignitions whether they are Boyers or L/R, one is not supposed to do that. I am having difficulty balancing the carbs with both cylinders firing.
I also sense the intake balance tube is affecting this.
So I am appealing to the experts on this.
1. Should the balance tube be disconnected and the ports capped?
2. Can the plug leads be pulled on an electronic ignition, if not, is there another way to sync without a vacuum gauge? Mike

Thanks Dave,
I have read your response several times very carefully and see words like 'supposed' and 'could'. So I assume you are reluctant to say to do it.
In this case I am running dual stock coils. Since this is a dual fire system, I assume the opposite plug will still fire. I don't see the harm in this. I see the difference with a single coil if the system shuts down. Can I assume it is relatively safe if one side is firing with dual coils?
Better yet, do you do this on your bikes with dual coils?
Mike

"supposed" to damage the box. I am trying to toast a LR by running an open ended coil. LR removed the varistor on the later boxes since they put higher rated output transistors in them. I want to see how they actually perform when abused.
2 coils
As long as you short out to ground the spark you don't want you will be OK.
On a dual coil/isolated secondary, you must have a complete path or you may High Voltage break down the coil internally, and the wire that is connected won't spark anyway.... Therefore shorting out the dead cylinder's wire is manditory.
still won't let me login from work...
