Here is a short video I made for you on how to balance your Amal Carbs on the Triumph Bonneville T140. (Mine was built 1977.)
This basic mechanical balancing technique can also be used on bikes with as many carbs on your bike has as you like, such as the trident T150 or T160.
The important bit is to get the starting point correct and then to maintain that as you use the bike.
I check mine every couple of years but rarely need to change anything once its done other than the mixture tuning which is a completely different set up.
I must seriously emphasise that you cannot get the bikes running mixture correct unless you get this part set up correctly or you will be just chasing you tail and never get it correct, as I have seen many many do.
Some folk just wont listen, lol.
This is great. I've been searching for the best instructions. There isn't much to go on but this definitely makes it clear.
Great explanations. Very easy to understand
I’ve always done it with my fingers or touch, but will try this next time!
Each manifold that attaches to the head has a nipple where the crossover balancing tube attaches. Could you hook a carb sync manometer style tool up to those two nipples then fire up the bike and balance the carbs while it's running like you would with an old Honda CB? I never see people do that, so I'm assuming there's a reason for it, but with my 07 Bonneville the carb sync nipples were on the manifolds, so it seems like it could work.
Thank you.
Even easier with a twin cable twist grip easy peasy. Happy days
I do the same thing but with drill bits instead of screwdrivers.
Great video thanks! Did you blind off your choke cable port on your carbs? I didn't see a second cable coming from the top of your carbs.
Why not use a vacuum gauge
