MrCJames,

When you do this are you putting on the first weight in STATIC mode? I have never tried that.

That said (asked,) I am still quite suspect of this approach. 4 grams difference would be imperceptible on the car. If you put on one weight in dynamic mode and respin, you will, of course, have the balancer tell you a different location for the second weight than if you had put them both on in Dynamic mode when the machine first told you where to put them. Just because the location is DIFFERENT does not mean that it is more accurate.

The machine is resolving differently the second time because it has different data.

I respectfully disagree with your method. I think you have insufficient data for a conclusion. I expect that the wheel is balanced with either method. Does your machine give you a zero after putting on both weights with the same spin? Does the machine also give you a zero after using your method? I expect that the answer would be yes in both cases. If that is indeed the case, then your method is accomplishing nothing except costing you extra time to balance the wheel.

I will experiment the next time I do some balancing.

Have a great day,
