    Yup, lots of us do!! It is amazingly easy and very simple. Much easier than the gauges, and more accurate than single gauge setups.

        Thanks!!!

        Just wanted to check before I order one...
        I've had one with mercury I got off eBay for like $50 or so,
        but it was pretty flimsy and cheaply made, I want a quality unit now...
        Hadn't seen one like this without any liquid at all...I figured if it was
        worth it, someone on here had to of had used one...
        Thanks!!!

          I used to have a 4-way gang valve and a single dial gauge. It was a pair of gauges, but one of them was broken.
          I happened across a Best Offer auction on e-bay and paid $75 shipped for a brand new unused Carbtune Pro put up by a pawn shop. I don't think I would ever go back to dial gauges even when the pair worked. If I had seen one in person, I would definitely have paid full price in a heartbeat!

          Edit: If you look around at reviews, the only thing people seem to be concerned about is that they would like the tubes to be covered. Some people cut out a piece of plastic to cover the opening on the front.

            I have used one (borrowed one from someone) and it was so simple I was amazed. I figured that it'd be hard to get the columns of mercury to stay even or they'd bounce around like crazy. Nope, hooked it up, fired the bike up and sync'd up 1/2 then 3/4 then 1-2/3-4 and my bike now runs better than it has EVER. I was done with the tool in less than 2 minutes. Definitely need to buy my own set so I can keep it in sync because it made a huge difference in the fine tuning of this bike. I'm very picky about popping sounds in the exhaust and rough idle and it cleared those two problems up for me.

              The Morgan Carbtune Pro doesn't contain any liquids, just metal rods and springs. Nothing to spill or get sucked into the engine.
