I own a 91 civic dual carb, that rarely starts and easily floods, the carbs need to be balanced, after searching the internet with no luck, so does any one know how to balance the carbs????

 

are they webber carbs or mikkunis?? I might be able to get an answer for you if i can know what type of carbs they are

 

There stock, i'm irish so just paid €5500 for insurance, so i'll buy some webers in a bit. What else could i ad

 

wow they had dual carbs stock in 91 hatches there?

 

Ya, when they run there a dream, when they don't there a Fu**kin nightmare.

 

wow.. do you know if you can get some of those babies?????

 

Are you sure they had carbs in a 91. I dont think they did. It might be something someone did on THAT car.

 

I'm sure its euro spec so...
I'll try to post a picture in a few hours

 

Since you are located in Ireland-you will find that there are a number of people there that are familiar with the SU carb used on MG's and Triumphs. Thee is a tool I used to use to tune them with. It fits over the throat of the carb and has a sight glass in it. See if you can find a friendly garage that has dealt with this sort of problem before. The balance is set by trial and error and you must look and listen when setting each carb. Been there with my TR-3 back when we still had distributors with points <G>.

 

thanks i'll try and do it and see what happens

 

yah its standard here too in australia. all 88-91 civic comes with 1500 dual carbs from da factory.

 

like what was mentioned above, there are vacuum gauges with a rubber end that fits into the air horn or throat of sidedraft carbs. I actually bought one in Gilroy, CA from a place called Pierce manifolds. But people should have them elsewhere.
