Reply to "Balance Tube?"

OK, Danny.....

Since those are Kadrons they are single-throat and your mechanic is correct. They would probably benefit from a balance tube between the intake manifolds. He probably believes (rightfully so) that the balance tube will help with the idle, but it should improve mid-range performance, too. Sounds like you’ve found a good mechanic!

You may luck out and have manifolds that already have the bosses in them to attach balance tubes to. That would make them easy to upgrade. If not....

Aircooled.net sells a balance tube upgrade kit for dual-port engines;

They have a similar kit for a single-port engines, too.

Talk it over with your mechanic and decide which direction is best. Sounds like he’s done this before.
