Or with the three left over brass adapters from a pack of four use two of them, and put an outer cap over the top, which can also be purchased from carbtune. Just glue the threaded part of the brass adapter into the end of the hose. It makes it real easy then to connect up a carb syncing/carbtune tool as the hoses will connect straight up from the tool.
On my carbtune I have hoses which have been cut with a section of smaller pipe inserted in-between which causes a venturi effect and stabilises the flow so the reading does not fluctuate so much. Otherwise you will find you have to pinch the hoses.
I ran my vacuum take off's conveniently behind my battery.
Hi, that is ace. Was very nervous about doing this but going to give it a go. Just brought my second Firestorm as the first one got stollen a couple of years ago and the insurance did not pay up. Thanks again for the excellent write up.
Today ive balanced my carbs with the same tool.
Easy to use and to install.
The lower ball is iddling 5mm left and right from the center, so i think its pretty good now.
But im not realy satisfied with the final result, so im going to take another shot at it cause i think it can be better.
Being a clumsy sod, i wouldn't want to keep moving my tank etc, could you make a small "snap tank" with 2 outlets to feed fuel to the cards instead? and maybe hang that up out of the way, or do you need more connections on the tank?
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

bits scorched today! i have got a manometer as well that measures mbar, I've been told that may work too!

(:-})
been in 2wheel junkie today to get some gauges
and love the idea of coming through where the battery is
can i fit all the pipe work, put the bike back together then balance the carbs
and then in the future seat off,connect gauges,check and seat back on
Yep that's exactly what I do, just pull the end caps off to reveal the the brass adapters. I use a Carbtune gauge with mine so attach the Carbtune lines which have a restrictor in them to smooth the flow to the gauge (some gauges require this for an accurate reading) and then attach them to the brass adapters under my seat.
