Hi John,
I use a balancing tool similar to the Carb Mate to do my synchronizing.
First, only adjust one side, never both sides. All you are trying to do is get one side to match the other. If you try to adjust both sides you’ll be chasing it all day long.
Pick a side to adjust and make a small adjustment on the ferrule, really doesn’t matter which way, all you want to see is which way the Carb Mate changes. If it improves, that's the way you want to adjust to balance. If the Carb Mate goes the wrong way, you want to adjust the ferrule in the other direction. Then continue to make adjustments till you get the Carb Mate centered at highest resolution.
It’s really quite easy once you get the hang of it.
Rotax-Owner.com has a good video review of the Carb Mate which includes a demonstration on its use. You should check it out. If you are a member of Rotax-Owner.com there are other excellent, detailed, videos available on carb balancing the 912/914. If you aren’t a member of Rotax-Owner.com I highly recommend joining to gain access to all their other videos and to their informational e-mailing.

I used a Carb Mate synchronizer once and found I was fumbling around a lot to get the carbs balanced.
If, for examle, the LED light is offset to the right, do you loosen , or tighten the cable feed to that right side carb? Or do either to the left side?
Instructions didn't provide any clues.

Thank you, Bob, for your iinformation. I appreciate it. I am in an RV-12
with 190 hours on it now...many minor items have come up but so far nothing
major which I hope continues because if you need to get at the starter or
other major things the entire engine would have to be pulled...a real
pain...the RV-12 with the Rotax 912uls is pretty crowded.
Again, thank you
John
