We are talking about an 82 Ltd. On the 82 Ltd, all of the carbs (which are TK22's) are the same, regarding sync. There is no master or lead carb.swest wrote:

The 84 550 LTD shaft had a lead carb. They are TK's. I was sweating bullets thinking the diaphragms were shot. Turned out fine and it ran like a scalded cat. :woohoo:

I don't think he was talking about drilling. He was talking about using drill bits as a standard thickness gauge, to set the slide position.rctreadaway wrote: That's dedication right there. I couldn't bring myself to drill into a $900 set of carbs! I'm thinking of just inserting a hollow needle lke you would use to inflate a basketball into the holders and fitting the vacuum lines to them somehow. They SHOULD seal back up once removed but worst case i can put a dab of silicon on it or even buy a new set and permanently modify the old ones with fittings.

No I understand what he meant. He said his carbs, nor the holders had vacuum ports so the previous owner did what was shown in the picture. From what I gathered, he put barb fittings onto the carbs which would require drilling holes into them. Am I wrong?

I see what you are saying. The photo doesn't really show what was done... assuming it's under that black cap.rctreadaway wrote:

And Steve, the arms are not bent on the float and the float is not taking fuel on. If it was, it'd sink, not shutting the fuel off. My issue was the fuel level was too low when I measure it with the clear tube method. I'm not sure if maybe my needle is screwed up or the seat isn't the correct one...
