Subject:      sychroning carbs

OK, I've been reading this thread for about a month now. What I've read has helped me in a lot of my troubleshooting problems with my '72/'73 bus. I've also noticed that you all really like to bash mechanics, which they most definitly deserve. I however have a simple problem.

The problem is that: 1.) I hate to give a grease monkey any more money to work on my bus. 2.) I don't know of any efficient way to sychronize the carbs.

My question lies therein. Is there any way that I can sychronize the carbs myself? I've read the Bentley and it's very explicit about how you should "take it to an authorized VW mechanic" to have this done. It then gives this lenthy definition of how to adjust the carbs.

Problem: 3.) Bentley says you need a CO tester.

Without going out and buying a couple thousand dollar Sun measurement machine is there a way to test the CO level?

I know this probably a hopeless case but I'm just hoping that the Bentley manual is wrong. Well, just this once.
