fancy tool

Thanks, Tim.

You are right. It's the Morgan Carbtune. John and Wildkat have a nice 4 gauge set, but since getting the Morgan, I doubt he'd ever go back to it. Not trying to knock his stuff, but Rob's setup looks like a nice one, and you can see that the first gauge is off a bit from the others. If it is in use at the time of the pic, that is a different story though.

If you're happy with your 4 gauge setup and it works for you.. great. But... if it were even close to the same money for the 4 gauge or the Morgan Carbtune... the Morgan would win every time for people that have ever had the opportunity to use one. If using a single gauge setup.. anyone who has ever had a 4 gauge setup and watched all 4 readings change when you adjust one carb.. knows that this can be a nightmare and an educated guess at best sometimes. Yes it can be done.. and yes I have done it myself, but there were many times that I got the carbs so messed up, that I had to pull them again to bench synch them to get close enough to start again.

Ya I just could not get that number one cylinder bang on like the others. There's likely a tiny leak somewhere in the intake system is my best guess. I didn't think to take a photo of how much out they were before I started the process.

I have the 4 gauge set up. I tee'd them all together on one cylinder to check calibration. I took the face off and moved the needle so they all said the same. Maybe somebody already said this.

I made my own, borrowed the design from 1 of the posts I read here!
This was my second sync tool build, hated the hose style

The only thing is, I don't care for the switching valve, it has tiny knobs
I will change it out for something a little bigger

the pic is a little blurry, but you get the idea

You bet, you can always find 'better' stuff for more money. It just depends on your budget.

The cheap sets will work fine, but you have to be more careful and check them often. The more expensive sets are more accurate.

Considering that most people that owned these bikes, back when, NEVER had them synched, I would say even a cheap set is etter than nothing!
