Carbalancer
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please use these instructions in conjunction with your
vehicle manufacturers' handbook.
1.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
2.
Remove air filter assemblies.
3.
Disconnect throttle linkage between carburettors (if
appropriate).
4.
Start the engine and allow to idle.
5.
Clip the scale vertically to some convenient part of the
vehicle.
6.
Set the inner bezzle to a fully opened position and press the
Venturi adaptor firmly into the Venturi of the first
carburettor, holding the outer rim.
7.
With the outer rim in one hand adjust the inner bezzle to
give a reading on the scale at any convenient mark. Do not
restrict the breathing of the engine by over adjustment,
causing the engine speed to drop.

8.
Without altering the adjustment on the inner bezzle, remove
the Micro-Metering Head from the first carburettor and press
it into the Venturi of the second carburettor.
9.
Adjust the throttle screw of the second carburettor (or
balancing screw) until the same reading is obtained on the
scale.
10. Repeat step 8 | 9 for successive carburettors.
11. Reconnect the throttle linkage and check that the balance
has not slipped.
12. If there is only one throttle stop screw the tick over speed
may now be set with gradual adjustment. It there is a
throttle stop screw for each carburettor, adjust each one
evenly to obtain a suitable idling speed.
13. Clean and replace the air filter assemblies.
CAUTION
As with any plastic component, the Carbalancer scale
will soften if allowed to come in contact with hot engine
components, particularly the exhaust manifold. Care should
be taken to ensure the unit is not mounted in contact with hot
parts of the engine.
