Carb balancer

[Mr Fro]

Hi dudes,

I'm in the market for a new carb balancer.

I have a Morgan Carbtune already (the old slidy rod job) and it's not the best thing in the world - you have to get it in exactly the right position for the rods to jiggle up and down correctly.

I've also got a pair or identical vacuum gauges which don't read the same even though I've calibrated them!

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a quality set that's reliable and easy to use?

Cheers,

Fro

Hi , got the Morgan Carbtune pro myself, always use it for all bikes , good bit of kit and I think better than the gauge ones

I'm with spanner on this one

[Mr Fro]

Maybe I got the Friday afternoon one!

The sliders don't run smoothly in the guides any more so I can't trust it - I have to keep swapping the hoses around to have any confidence in it.

Maybe speak to Morgan and see if they suggest anything?

Mine works just fine regardless of if it's straight or not!........ Within reason mind!

[Mr Fro]

That's a good point. I'll buzz them up when I get a mo.

Thanks chaps.

I used to have a set of these years ago......not cheap, but good quality......

Don't need anything like this now, as TuneECU shows me the throttle body balancing on my bike.......

Always used 'whistle tubes' in the dim and distant past.

Not had carbs for quite a few years now.

I have to say that I have lost faith in my Morgan as well. I use the ubiquitous dial gauges on a blue background but I always calibrate all four on the one carb first. Can you still get Davida guages? They were of good quality build but I cannot comment on acuracy. The best tune up I ever had was with a digital balancer that only did two carbs at a time,can't remember the make but I do recall that it was made in South Africa.The bugbear with carb tuning is trying to balance the pilot air screws first without burning your hand.Have you seen"Longboy" pilot air screws available for some Mikunis ? I'm going to get some soon. Good twiddling and remember to step back and use your ears as well.
