I guess you just follow the provided instructions. Be careful not to rev the engine and close the throttle quickly or you could suck mercury into the engine. Just do the balance at idle on a warmed up engine with the fuel tank raised and a longer hose, or use a different fuel hose. It only takes tiny adjustments.

I have restrictions in my lines to reduce the pulsing... works perfectly.
