Elgreco Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 By posting in the sale/wanted section thought it would have been obvious that I was looking for a second hand one . Quote
Stu Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 There is a couple on ebay Although having had a set of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Motorcycle-Carb-Carburettor-Vacuum-Balancer-Gauge-2-4-Cylinder-Gauges-Kit/401517479725?hash=item5d7c4e872d:g:pSkAAOSwBqZb6wEE and now got a set of carbtune I can confirm the dial gauges are pretty good just make sure to check each gauge on 1 cylinder to make sure they are reading the same as you can calibrate them by removing the cover and adjusting the screws Quote
Elgreco Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks Stu for a more sensible answer ,I've been watching the Morgan ones on Fleabay but most seem to go for nearly as much as a new one. I have looked at the dial type but have read mixed reviews about them especially with regards to needle bouncing and build quality.Just hoping that somebody had a set of morgan's that they no longer use.

Stu Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 As I say I have had the dial ones and I have now got the carbtune The needle flutter can be controlled I still get a bit of flutter on the carbtune one bank is worse than the rest All you need is something to read the vacuum and all dials to be accurate hence checking them all to make sure they read the same on one cylinder I never had an issue with the dial ones but the carbtune packs away in a nice neat little pouch and is better quality and I use mine a fair bit Quote
raesewell Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 ones on Fleabay but most seem to go for nearly as much as a new one.That's why I posted the link, you're not going to get a really cheap one if they sell second hand for nearly the price of new. Quote
fastbob Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 As title, looking for a Morgan 4 cylinder carbtube.thanks I've got one you can have for £20 but it's got no tubes or inline dampers . It's scratched and battered but it's in good working order . Quote
raesewell Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I bought a second hand one from Ebay, however I was never sure if it was in balance or not. I contacted Carbtune to see if they would check it out for me. They didn't want to know so I bought a new one. I think someone had had the second hand one apart and mixed up the rods. Quote

Thanks for the sales pitch . Quote
raesewell Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 It's not a sales pitch, it's just what happened. Quote
