Quick vid - New vacuum gauges: dials not the same
Hi Guys
I got some new clock-type gauges but the dials are in different places. They have little adjustment screws on the faces. Should I just leave 'em alone and do the synch or try to make them the same? I'm thinking to use clock one as a base on carb one and then setting the others against it using the same carb. Good idea or nah?
Will be my first time doing this so any advice will be well received!
Thanks guys

Hi IDoDirt
Thanks man, I've learned since I put this up that the gauges can be synched themselves using a brake bleeder with a gauge on it too. So at a specific pressure on the bleeder gauge, each vacuum gauge (after zeroing) can be read to see where its dial is in comparison to the one used for the base. Seems better to check them like this so you don't have to mess near the hot engine and temp is kept constant.
I learned this idea off shane conley on youtube who has a vid on checking vacuum gauge integrity. It's one of his wittc fuel and air vids for anyone who's interested.
I'm hoping this might help another newbie one time.
Safe riding guys
