Yes sir. A good portion of a link and sync is done with the engine not running. The running portion is only at idle. <br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

Re: link & sync

Sure.There are some predetermined adjustments to check that were factory set at one time.Look at the carburetor linkage roller and insure that it is aligned on center with and "just touching the fiber cam scribe line when the controls are in neutral.Remove the intake silencer and insure that the carb flaps are fully closed when the controls are in neutral.While an assistant turns the prop ,shift the controls in forward gear and advance to full throttle.Insure that the carb flaps open at the same time and equally to fully horizontal .Not past.Just horizontal.If you really want to get picky,I use a set of small hole guages and check the gap between the carb flap and throat at several throttle positions to insure equal adjustment.Return controls to neutral and check the fully closed position once again.If there is a need to change the setting of the linkage roller in relation to the fiber cam scribe line,there is an adjustment screw that can be loosened and retightened to perform this.There are also adjustment lock screws for each carb flap to set their fully open and closed settings if need be.If the ignition timing screw adjustments have not been altered from their factory settings ,you should be good to go.<br /><br />Are you having any performance issue problems with this engine or do you just want to insure the carbs are in synch?
