Tuning for drunks
« on: July 05, 2015, 12:56:56 PM »
This carby balancing setup is dodgy as hell.
Preparing the glasswork made me unbalanced. Again. *hic*

Your eyes are weary from staring at the screen. You feel sleepy. Notice how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.

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.....
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

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.

Members have borrowed it before if you are interested.
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)
