I tried to build one of these using oil as a fluid. My thoughts were it wouldn't damage anything if sucked into the engine, and the thicker viscosity would help dampen the oscillations. (Guess I should have used Seafoam, and got a tune-up/clean if it got sucked in!) I could not get the oscillations to dampen out to a usable level. One of the plans I saw said to use aquarium size tubing and metering valves. That might have worked. The plans I used called for a u-tube manometer that had each end of the tube hooked up to different cylinders. Cylinder 2 would be used as a base measurement, paired first with Cylinder 1, then Cylinder 3, then Cylinder 4. I since got a quad set of dial types with restrictors and valve type metering valves. I have not used it yet, but it certainly looks more usable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Javier Garcia To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] manometer
Hey Chris, please let us know how it goes with building the manometer and all that. Javier.

Sorry I can't find the email so who ever posted it thanks a lot. thanks Javier for the video on your bike when it came to the question on white smoke. But before I go to get the things I need to make the manometer does anyone know exactly were on the carb. would I hook it up ? I have a 83 CB750SC and the Haynes book doesn't really show me were. This book is a great book for info once you know what your doing. Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
