Most everyone has heard of the factory synchronization tool and how it works. I built my own ghetto version to prove I could and you can too.
I gathered up the supplies:
1. suitable base comprised of a spare fence picket cut at 42".
2. 5/16" clear tubing from the depot. It came in a 10' roll for $2.29.
3.Electrical cable staples ( so the tubing wouldn't be pinched)
4. An eye hook at the top of the board for convienient hanging next to the car at eye level in the shed.
5. A yard stick $1.99 from the depot also. Great for the graduations to clearly see what's happening.
6. 2-cycle oil- a pint. The type you use for chainsaws, etc. It's dark red, and heavy. An old wall paper syringe to help get it in the tube. It takes a while to settle
7. Two plastic bowls. Cheap type, in the grocery store. Glad brand IIRC,
48 oz, 1420ml, or 6 cup size. But measure your carb or air cleaner opening and check before buying.( I saved the reciept so the wife wouldn't get the idea that they were for the kitchen)
Trim the bowl bottom an 1/8" less than the diameter so it's snug. In the top make a 1/2" hole in the middle ( no need to take the stud out) and a smaller hole and x cut for the tube to stick in.
Warm up your engine. Put the bowls on ( Might need to use some tape to make sure everything is tight.) Start up.
Watch the fluid in the tubes and the yard stick and be patient to let it settle.
The rest, well you can adjust from there.
Less than $10 bucks US.
