What does it mean to link & sync besides the vacuum test and if you don't do this what will be the results?

Re: Link& Sync ?

Need more info, handle. What make, year, model and HP are you working on?

In most cases a L&S procedure is basically adjustment of the linkage to the ignition stator and/or fuel delivery system (carb(s) or EFI) so that your throttle control starts at the correct point for idle and then synchronizing the advance of throttle and ignition timing for smooth operation through the range of throttle positions.

Almost every model of every make has additional or unique procedures/tests within this procedure.

If linkage is off or ignition timing and fuel delivery are not correctly synchronized the engine may not idle correctly or deliver full power. It may even refuse to start or run at all.

Not familiar with the details of that model, handle. A Yammyspert should be along soon.

I believe you need to use a manual and a 4 port manometer to do it properly .
If you do not have them then take to a Yamaha shop that does.
Have heard that is a tough one to clean and do properly

You will need the proper tools to link and sync on that model. Guessing is not an option
