Tim, I think you have spent way too much time day dreaming!!!

Subject: [Spridgets] Carb sysn
I've been day dreaming about this sync the carbs process and a
"modern" way to do it. Seems like a device could be made from two
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors (one per carb) to sync them. A MAF, as I
understand it from the K&N filter site
(www.knfilters.com/maf/maftestresults.htm) outputs a voltage directly
proportional to the flow of air past the heated wire sensor.
All you would have to do is read the voltage from each MAF sensor
with something - a voltage meter perhaps or go fancy with inputs
through a parallel port or USB port to a computer program that
displays the voltage output of each sensor. You would adjust the
carbs until each one delivered the same voltage.
I don't think it matters what the voltage is, you just want them to
be the same. If you adjust at a low RPM then the voltage would be
different from an adjustment at a high RPM - that's all - being the
same number is the important thing. Seems like this should work just
fine and the hardware parts are available at your pick & pull.
Ok, now does this seem feasible or not? Of course if you build one of
these it sould be known as an "Overkill" because that's what this
would be, but it could solve the problem of listening to the hiss if
hearing is a problem.
Yes, I know about and own a Unisync and the Moss ad today featured
another similar device (Synchormeter) but neither are as
sophisticated as a duel(ing) MAF system!
I'm not talking Megasquirt here although you will find a MAF sensor
in a Megasquirt setup.
What do you think? Would this work? (I'm not looking for investors!!) LOL
