Hi,
I am looking to sync the carbs on my 81 CB750F
can anyone steer me to a source for 5mm nipples for the vacuum ports?
Thanks

Thanks, woodsrider250, for the hint. Unfortunately they only have a 6mm nipple and I need 5mm.

Sweet!  The $100 electronic sync guage is pretty cool too....COnsidering most sets of traditional guages cost that.

Here's a link to permanently fitted adapters that make connecting vacuum hoses much easier if you don't have 5mm fittings.

Not really. Just remember to check all your gauges on one carb first. That way you can make sure they are all reading the same. If not you can adjust them. Then set every carb to match No# 2. that is the base carb on the 750's.
