Carburettor & throttle body service and computerised sync

Carburettors, throttle bodies and fuel injectors slowly gum up with varnish, carbon and dirt, and multi-cylinder bikes drift out of balance between cylinders. We strip and clean the carburettors or throttle bodies, service the fuel injectors, then synchronise every cylinder with computerised gauges with the engine at operating temperature. The result is a smooth idle, crisp throttle response and better fuel mileage.

The process

How we handle a fuelling service

  1. Check the symptomsTell us what the bike is doing. We start it, listen to the idle and check for air leaks, vacuum hose problems and ignition faults first, so you only pay for what is really needed.
  2. Quote before workWe confirm the job and the price on WhatsApp before we touch anything.
  3. Strip and cleanCarburettors or throttle bodies come off and are fully cleaned. Injectors are serviced on fuel-injected bikes.
  4. Rebuild and adjustNew seals and gaskets go in where needed, and pilot screws and idle mixture are set.
  5. Computerised syncWith the engine at operating temperature, every cylinder is balanced on our computerised vacuum gauges.
  6. Test and hand overWe test ride the bike and walk you through what we found.

Synchronisation is only needed on bikes with two or more carburettors or throttle bodies. Single-cylinder bikes still benefit from a carb or throttle body clean and injector service.

Common questions

Carb & throttle body FAQ

On a bike with two or more carburettors or throttle bodies, each cylinder needs to pull the same amount of air. Synchronisation balances them using computerised vacuum gauges, so the engine idles smoothly and responds evenly.

There is no single interval. Most riders do it when they notice a rough idle or vibration, after a valve clearance job, or after the throttle bodies or carbs have been removed for other work.

A throttle body clean and sync is usually done the same day. A full multi-carburettor rebuild can take longer, depending on parts. We will tell you when you book.

Yes. We clean and check injectors on fuel-injected bikes, and can combine it with a throttle body service.

Yes. You get the price on WhatsApp before we start, and we will call you if we find anything else.
