Hey thanks for a really good tune up demo. I have a guzzi v35 and used your other vid to service the carbs. I will now tune them using this one. Many thanks!

Man, it's been a while since I've seen a vacuum balance in action...A few of us who rode Yamaha RD 400's in Hawaii all hung out and tuned and wrenched on them ourselves, and so we all put in on specialty tools, a vacuum balance gauge being one of the bit's of kit we shared. It was funny, we'd never dream of sharing a set of sockets, or box wrenches, but those items that we all really needed but only used once in a while where often shared around with no problems of them going missing. There were of course a couple of guys in our group that always got "extra help" when they used group tools though...one time getting something back filthy or damaged got you on the "Special Ed." list, LOL!

A frustrating job sometimes. I spend an entire evening once on an infamous CB750 SS and i think a half tank of fuel. I had the thing beyond amazing, never heard something sound so good with no mechanical noise...the next morning in different air and temps it went off the map in tune lol

bubster1981 My standard test on a Morini is for the bike to trickle along at idle and then pick up cleanly when the throttle is gently wound on. This bike passed with flying colours. I find that apart from gummed up jets they stay in tune very well and an 'Italian' tune-up will clean out the jets most of the time.

Paul I would appreciate it if you could help explain to me how I could balance the carburetors on my Morini Kanguro X2. The problem is specific because I don't have a vacuum take off adaptor on my original intake rubber, no hole at all. Should I drill a nipple on the intake rubber? Thank You in advance.

Doesn't the X2 have a balance pipe between the two carbs? Remove that and use those ports whilst balancing.

Paul, I've always used vacuum guages designed for balancing carbs. I think those would be easier than the s/s rods like you indicator. The vacuum guages would be more accurate IMHO. There sounds like a lot of valve rocker arm clatter. Dave

Swarf Rat I originally had a set of gauges. They lasted about 10 minutes before the damping gave out.

Paul Compton I had a problem with my dampers after a few years, the adjuster screws rusted and blocked the orifice, easily fixed. If all else fails remove adjuster screws from gauges and insert a hyperdeemic nerdle, in line in each hose, which makes a very satisfactory replacement. The advantage of the vacuum gauge set up is, you can fit them and ride the bike to check under working conditions without the overheating problems or risk of annoying the neighbours.

The ol' valve clearances sound a bit spacey there Paul :)

***** Morinis are often quite 'tappety'. It's not necessarily the valve gear, it's often a bit of piston slap due to wear and the Heron head design. I often joke that the collective noun for a group of Morinis is a 'Clatter'.
