Reply to "synchronizing webers with ping pong balls"

Synchronization or balancing the airflow thru eight IRS throttles is usually done by using some sort of air-flow tool for repeatability. Mine is from the '60s and still works. But there's a LOT more to getting the things to work right than just getting the throttles all synchronized. For instance, there are five jets and three air bleeds for each barrel and they are all replaceable. Most guys running Webers have a boxful of old jets etc and the cheapest one is (or was) $5 each. They all affect each other, too so really easy to get lost in there... Typically, Webers initially either make lots of power and 10 mpg, or good mileage and no power. Somewhere in the middle is where all the work occurs.
