Hiya folks, got my Manometer built and hooked up as per the main guide around here, http://www.600riders.com/forum/how-to-s-/39891-build-your-own-manometer-throttle-body-sync.html .
Not long after I started the bike (after warming it up), my first cylinder pulled all the air out of the second and third tube, and then the fluid became full of air bubbles and was a mess to read. I managed to adjust it some and balance out the awful splashy mix, and then unhooked it to let it settle.
Attempt number 2, I was a bit more careful and as a result of my previous adjustments - it held for a while before cylinder 3 had all the fluid sucked out, but I was quick and stopped it before it became what it was before. One and two pull a lot, whereas four pulls some - and 3 has 'none'.
Trying to figure out where to go from here, since I can't touch one. Do I turn the screw in or out to increase/decrease the vacuum? I couldn't find that anywhere. I assume right for 'more' and left for 'less' on the screws? (at least that's how it appears)
I'm out of time today, but I'm hoping to have it ready and done by tomorrow. I've put the bike back to default so it's ready to be warmed up properly tomorrow (with the little black plugs in the hoses) but I'm kind of worried I'll be in for a continued mess. I'm here with three questions, mainly:
1) Can I adjust while the bike is off? I know 3 doesn't pull enough - can I tighten it in and try again?
2)There's like 8" of oil in each tube. Would you suggest more?
3)Should a fan be pointed at the front of the bike, or am I okay for some off/on adjustments?
