Title: Tuning for drunks
Post by: Cesspool on July 05, 2015, 12:56:56 PM

This carby balancing setup is dodgy as hell.
Preparing the glasswork made me unbalanced. Again. *hic*

I put green colouring in the water to make it easier to see.
Actually that fruitwood moscato is not too bad for cheap plonk.

Please explain, never seen a setup like this before.....

The bottles have two tubes entering, and must be airtight. The engine vacuum tube goes in a few mm. The other tube goes to the bottom of the bottles and is connected to all the other bottles, and must be filled with fluid. If the pressure in all the bottles is equal then the fluid levels will be equal.
Vacuum in one of the bottles will cause the fluid in that bottle to rise...

I use a similarly dodgy setup, albeit with only two (smaller) bottles. I've found using Auto Trans Fluid gives a more steady reading, and is less likely to accidentally get sucked up a hose if something goes awry!

Great looking setup Cesspool  :thumbs

I use one of these, and works a treat.
