[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 594915, member: 19679"] I'm using 8mm hose with 1/8 npt barbs. Think there's some suggestions that a balance pipe too big, making the carbs easier to tune, also results in power loss as the carbs can be well out of balance but appear ok due to the large flow area in the pipe which allows significant air(and potentially fuel) flow between the carbs. 8mm seems to work fine on my engine with twin ICT's. I set the balance using a small ball bearing in some clear tube on attached to the two barbs. Gravity sets the centre point in a loop, mark that, start the engine and adjust carbs/linkage till bearing centres over the mark made earlier, perfect balance without the need for an expensive snail gauge.
