I just got done jetting my GS1000 and have it running “OK” but I would like to synchronize the carbs to make sure everything is flowing ok. I looked at legit carb synchronizer’s and cant justify spending $100+ on a tool that I will _rarely_ use. I jumped on Google and checked for “DIY carb synchronizer” and came up with a few hits. Most of the posts that I read are a list of supplies but there arent any step by step directions. Have any of you built your own carb synchronizers? Pics of said setup? Guidance? ---

If do find out how to do this, let me know. You’ll get a better response from your post on GSresources than you will on here. Those guys live and breathe our bikes. ---

you can buy a carb synchronizer for about $50 shipped on ebay. I have used the ebay one and it worked just fine in comparison to the $100+ ones ---

And if Dr. and moto split it it’s only 25 dollars each. ---

I’ve got this if you’d like to borrow it. I tend not to loan/rent tools, but it’s a very rare occasion that I need it ![http://www.amadirectlink.com/news/2007/Indy/MP_SyncPro.jpg](http://www.amadirectlink.com/news/2007/Indy/MP_SyncPro.jpg) ---

There are a bunch of DIY’s online. Most use a yard stick, oil, and some plastic tubing. I have yet to make one. I was planning on it, but not until I replace my needle jets (emulsion tubes) I think the problems people have with them are with how they implement a restriction in the line. ---

Jason when I’m at that point over the winter, might I be able to borrow it? I’d be willing to leave a deposit for piece of mind :tup: ---

Easy way is to buy the number of vaccum gauges you need, attach rubber hoses, sync carbs. Done. I have been told that there is a way to do it with a paper towel core and listening to the carbs (told by an old triumph spit fire owner) but I have no clue how the hell that would work or even be accurate.
