  • EZ Tach to set idle

    Has anyone used the EZ Tach to help set their idle? My ham-fisted tune ups never seem as good as I imagine, and I am unable to sense the vacuum changes from the idle screws, as big screw variances seem to have no vacuum effect.

    Haven't, no. I use the MorganCarbTune. Compared it to my mercury 'stix', and is dead-on.

        Thank you, Mike! Guys are talking about 1/16 of a turn and check results...I turn it a half turn and can't tell any difference. It's like I'm the only dancer who can't hear the beat...I guess you make two.

          Damn...when my bike was laid up because of a faulty solder job on my pick-ups, every post on here looked to me to be caused by pick-ups. Now that I've solved my vacuum leak problem (which I've had for a couple of years without knowing), I see every problem as a vacuum leak.

          Here's hoping nobody posts about ED....

            ED is nothing to shake a stick at.
