Used mine today, easy - my carbs are a lot more advanced that the ones in the manual. I had to balance to carb #2 being in front of cylinder #2. The manual states I should balance to number 3. Anyways, all went well, don't even remove tank.

I agree, the book says that #3 is the base. I balance off #2 as well.

I'm not sure that I understand the balance off of carb 2. I had a screw that when I twisted it carb 1 gauge went down and carb 2 gauge went up. If I turned it the other way, the opposite happened. Did I turn the wrong screw?

One of the carbs on the 1kf is the base carb and has no adjustment (I believe this is true on all inline four engines). On the newer bikes, such as my '93, carb #3 is the base carb. The older modelsassign carb #2 as the base carb (not sure of the exact years for#2). You then adjust the other three to match the reading of the base carb. When all the carbs are reading the same, you've got it!

An important note before synching the carbs is to ensure your valves are properly adjusted first.

That's what I keep hearing, too, is that the morgan carbtune is the way to go. Other's work ok too, but morgan is one of the nicest/simplest/most reliable ones out there.
Good enough for me....
