anyone know what the reading should be at tickover for the snail meter. got one of these. http://www.dellorto.co.uk/shop/car-...s/synchrometer-airflow-suitable-for-sus-icts/ it was ticking over fine till one of the linkage rods came loose. (didn't tighten it up properly) don't really want to have to take the carbs off again and start all over with the feeler gauges. Cheers.
I always ended up about 4.5 on my meter. I would have assumed if you are connecting up the linkage rods you would not need to set the idle speed again. I used to mainly use my snails to make sure the linkage rods were set evenly so that as I opened up the throttle the carbs had the same reading both sides.
Put it back. Tickover not effected. Balance linkage by eye so start opening together. It's a comparative thing, no numbers.
^this. The absolute numbers don't mean anything. It's the relative numbers - ie both read the same - that's important.
Cheers all. Its a CSP bell crank linkage. The RH rod came off the carb and the lock nuts were loose. (my fault). So the length of the rod has changed. Will just spin it back to fit into the locator.
