General Information ‘Synchrometer Flow Meter is designed to measure the air flow on the air intake of the carburetor. The indication is more sensitive onthe lower side ofthe scale to ensure most precise adjustment at idle and low RP ‘Type BK futures a ruber sleeve that canbe rotated to open a by: ass to allow a higher airflow. It fis tothe outside diameter of approx. 2 inch (48 to 53 mm @ ) without adaptor.

Check as described above (3) While a single instruments sufcient, the use of two matched SYNCHROMETER instruments has many advantages: ‘The instruments stay connected tothe carburetors and the hands are ree to adjust and accelerate It saves time to locate jamming joins at diferent RP. “The air flow can constant be observed unt the tune up is ‘completed with al timing, moxture and high idle warm up adjustments ‘On engines with high mileage, the fumes trom the crankcase wil affect the ale modure strength ang R.P.M.

Simply place the Synchrometer Flow Meter into the secondary throat, using an adapter if necessary and check the airflow at idle speed 2, Operate the secondary throttle (on the linkage or vacuum connection lever ) shortly up to approx. 10 kgih and release it again, Repeat several times to check ifthe throttle valve |s moving freely and always returns to the idle ‘stop completely 3. If throttle, shaft and linkage are moving freely, the flow meter wil aways show the former alr flow value at idle. 4. Ifthe air flow always retums to this former value and if this value is with the tolerance (approx. 1,5 lh at idle), the mixture strength and RPM can be adjusted and it wll stay that way. 5. If the air flow shows a higher or lower value and changes every time after the throttle is operated, the mixture strength and the idle RPM are also Upset. Itis useless to altempt the adjustments, The throttle valve, shaft, linkage or rod must first be corrected to move frecly before a stable tuning adjustment at idle can be achieve: ‘Adaptors for secondary throat: No. suitable ‘approx. :size for mm 50 Solex 282 36x30 742° Solex 32TEIE 10 742 Weber S2ADF 4 aniaa 746 Weber 340ATR,DMTR 42.0 49 Weber DFAV,DMS,OFH 38 x 38 137 Weber DFT 37 T40 Weber S296DGAV 44x44 38 Weber DGS1 330 739 Weber 38/36 DM 1 31x48 T47 Weber DMTR. 37 © 1 oe B Carburetor Flow-Meter Synchrometer Type SK Ar flow range 1 to 30 kgih with most precise indication at 1t0 3 kgih To synchronize multiple Carburetor systems and to check the idle stop adjustment of the Secondary stage of two-barrel progressive carburetors How important is the clearance at closed position ? (On two-barrel progressive carburetors, tis throttle is only theoreticaly closed and the stop lever holds it "Just a crack" open to prevent the plate touching and ‘wearing into the housing ‘This “Just a crack air leak” is compensated by the idle mixture adjustment of primary stage However, if this small “air leak" changes every time after the secondary throttle returns to the “closed” position, it will upset the idle mixture agjustment of the primary stage: ‘The throttle stop may be adjusted correctly, but the throtle plate is contaminated or jamming and does rot always return to the former position, This can easily be detected by checking the air flow value directly at idle RPM, Experienced air flow values of the secondary ‘stage throttle at idle ( closed position ) : Weber Carburetors: 1,8 to 2.5kgih Solex Carburetors: 1,3 to 1.8 kghh Solex Carburetors which have a small ‘by-pass hole in the throttle plate (easily visible): 4 to 5 kg/h Zenith INAT Carburetors: 1,0 10 1,5 kglh ‘The air flow values of the secondary throttle ‘are on the higher side on new and rebuild clean = carburetors Deposits on the throttle plate ‘and wear on the stop lever will reduce this air flow after some time. ite
