Best Carb Sync Tool?

[maxcruiser]

After 10 years, my Motion Pro mercury carb sync bit the dust. I left it outside over the winter and the four plastic tubes cracked badly.

So I need to get a new one and before I do, I thought I would ask which one is the best - mecury/tube style or other rod style, individual vaccum gauge style, or ?

I've had great luck with the Morgan Carbtune and the Morgan Carbtune Pro. I've looked into trying other gauges, including the DIY tools, but always come back to the Carbtune.

I'd like to know what others have found with different gauges, too.

I bought a used set of these. They work great.

I personally didn't like the holeshot gauges since you had to constantly change the "pinch" amount on the hoses to keep the gauges steady.

I use the system at the top of this page:

I have a Morgan also. Works for me. I don't know what a new one might cost now with the dollar being so low. Found one on ebay that looks alot like the carbtune, but lower price. Not sure if it's as good but here's the link if anyone wants to try.

Morgan Carbtune works great for me. Did the carbs in just a few minutes this weekend.

I made my own or you can pay shipping and have my Motion Pro.

Thanks for the offer and I may take you up on it, but for now I made a carb sync tool like the one that richwrench posted;

I have it set up hanging off a rafter beside the max, it kinda looks like it's on life support. Haven't tried it yet - finished it too late at night - will try it tomorrow and see how it works!

First off, keep in mind that I had the complete carb bank apart, cleaned and put back together, so it was way out of sync;

At first, it was a pain in the ass - the fluid would get sucked up too high in 1 or 2 tubes and create bubbles in the other tubes - so I did a "manual" sync first by setting each carb so that, on idle, it would not suck fuel from the needle jet (keep in mind I have stage 7 with air correctors - so I can run engine with no filters or airbox) when looking down the throat of carb. Once they were all ok - I than put "Frankensync" back on. This time none of the fluid ran too high causing bubbles - got them adjusted pretty easily and got them pretty close to each other - bike now runs great.

Pretty easy tool to make and does work good - but I do prefer a proper carb sync tool - Main thing is that it got me out of a pinch and got a few laughs for friends too.

I got a Morgan Carbtune from Exactrep, UK, a couple months ago. Final cost $122. It works great!
