Carb Sync 950 Adventure without SAS and EPC

[BRUNO BOTELHO]

People, need some help
I'm going to do some carb cleaning and sync to my KTM 950 Adventure.
I have even ordered a carb sync device.
But i have removed the SAS and EPC. Is it still possible to sync the carbs without the SAS and EPC?
How?
Anyone got pictures of the process (sync without SAS and EPC)?

Thank's in advance!

Very easy. You will have two vacuum hoses coming off the intake manifolds on the right side of the carbs. The other ends should be plugged. Unplug them and attach to your synch device and follow the directions for your particular device.

To access the carb synch adjust screw you have to remove the airfilter.

Here's how I did mine with my Carbs:

Hey AdvGa
I have read over in another thread UK Mouse make the claim to sync at idle. I like you did the sync at 5000 rpms. Is there any kind of concensus on this matter of a carb sync?

I use this: http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=572. Works perfectly.

Sure, I have done this on both I-4's and Twins and have good results with my method.

On paper perhaps, doing it at Idle makes sense, but you have to try it yourself to find out.

People, thank you for your help

I think i know where those are. If i'm not mistaken, these 2 vacuum hoses are the ones that we have to cover when the SAS and EPC is removed.
Am i correct?

Here are the 2 vacuum hoses of my 950, without the SAS and EPC and covered by a rubber cover.I think that's where i have to plug the hoses of the sync device...

When you're on the right of the bike, look under the airbox, you should have 2 hoses or 2 connectors on admisson manifold (between the cylinder and the carbs).

Not sure what those photos are but that's not what you sync the Carbs with. Like he said, right side, manifold, brass nipples with blocked off hoses coming off them. Save yourself some headaches and run the hoses to under the seat so you don't have to have the right tank off to sync the Carbs.

You're most welcome...

People, need help, again...
I have got already the vacuum gauge, but i'm a little confused about it's use.
I bought exactly one vacuum gauge like the one below:



Can anybody help me and tell me which values should this vacuum gauge indicate for a correct synchronization?
Which values should the needles/arrows indicate in this vacuum gauge for a correct synchronization?
Sorry about these beginner questions, but just want to do the job the best way possible.

Thank's!

You are not looking for a "value" of the vacuum on your gauges. You are looking for the needles to read the same vacuum on both the carburetors.

The value you see will change with the RPM you are syncing at too. Again you are looking to make the needles the same at idle and your normal cruising RPM.

the HOW says 7 kg/H vacuum... Although I don't know what the H stands for.
