    Carb stix

    I bought all the parts and made a sync tool,but both sets of aquarium valves I got(first set from petshop,second set at walmart) are too weak to stop vacuum,so I cant isolate one carb at a time..I cant find decent valves in this town.
    So I am trying to find carb stix.The local bike shop I called,the kid at the counter had to go ask someone what those are.He found out he can order some for about $130.
    I found vacuum sync kits on ebay for about $100.I guess I'll probably get the ones on ebay.Unless someone can tell me where to order good old fashioned mercury carb sticks.

    Motionpro.com has them $99.99. They use the manometer fluid now instead of mercury.

      For my money, the Morgan Carbtune is the best one I've used. No fluid needed.

          I got the morgan carbtune just a few weeks ago. It works great. I have already dropped it on the floor once, still works fine.

          Don't tell your friends that you have one, I have already had to synch 4 bikes

              Thanks axel,
              Yea I saw that site before but I didn't want to wait for over seas shipping.I already bought one from that site out of California.
              I cant wait to sync my carbs.My bike runs pretty good already but I rebuilt the carbs a couple months ago and know it will be even better after adjusting.

                Color-tuning while synching is like making it run like the Millenium Falcon
