Brand new set of carbs?

[reed]

I have just found a place online that sells brand new set of OEM carbs, rear shocks etc for my bike for a very good price.

What is involved with putting a brand new, never before used set of carbs on a bike? (1999 hornet) would they need balancing, adjusting etc?

Thanks people.

They would need balancing but as long as you have good quality scales it's not too difficult to do it at home. I use a good set of chef's scales to do mine.

You can build your own manometer at home, nothing difficult and it is accurate enough. The only thing you can not fabricate and you might are going to need is screws, that you screw into the manifold instead of the blind ones. There you're gonna plug in hoses of the manometer.

Try it, it's quite handy to know how this works

EDIT: something like this would be alright: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nKaGEMLZjs

It is possible that those carbs will be all synced, but I wouldn't bet my money on it. There's also a paper clip method, You take a paper clip or any hard wire and put into the carburetor from the throttle side and set the idle of the whole set so the 1st carburetor can barely hold the clip/wire and then set manualy 2nd, 3rd and 4th individualy to hold that clip/wire the same. Then you use your idle screw for the whole set to set it at approx 1400rpm and you're good to go. But this isn't that accurate and it is possible only when you've got the carbs in your hand.

You see, the whole magic about carb synchronising is to open/close all 4 throttles the same so there's the exact same amount of air coming through into the engine, which can be achieved with the paper clip/wire method. But, you should learn the manometer method, it is more practical and faster if you don't want to pull out the carbs.

EDIT: One more thing I remebered, DO NOT FORCE the clip/wire/needle... into the throttle, you do not want to damage it. To be safe, just make it so the clip/wire can slide freely in and out there, like when you do your valve clearances with feeler gauge
